Vinber from Icelandic “grape” or “wine berry” carries its name not only because of the main yarn colour I chose for my sample, but also because it is designed in a pure Icelandic wool.
The dress is simple and versatile, knit seamlessly top-down in the round and is easy to modify into a pullover. It is beginner friendly and comes with a special price to make it more accessible.
You can take a closer look at my sample and discover the design details in this podcast episode.
