AVFKW x Olga Buraya-Kefelian - Kika Bundle - DYE-TO-ORDER

Kika Vest by Olga Buraya-Kefelian // featuring AVFKW Annapurna

A few years back, we were lucky to collaborate with Olga Buraya-Kefelian for our Pro-Verbial Yarn + Fiber Club. As you might know, the Pro-Verbial Club is a celebration of shawls and the numerous forms they make take, naturally-dyed yarn, and knitting. Every year, four designers are featured, and they create an exclusive design for the club.

Kika, today's featured pattern, is Olga's Pro-Verbial design and her take of how versatile a "shawl" can be. And we love it. Kika is such a wearable garment - vest, scarf, wrap, or cropped outer layer. She originally knit it out AVFKW Annapurna in the club colorway Tangerine. We are so happy to release this happy Summer-y color to you today.

More great news - Olga has reknit Kika in Neighborhood Fiber Co. Studio Sock, and we couldn't be more impressed with the result. Neighborhood Fiber Co. yarn features such rich, saturated color as well as gorgeous subtle shades -- the pairing is terrific.

The Kika Vest has the ability to transform into a vest, scarf, wrap, or cropped outer layer. The result of this transformation provides the wearer with numerous options for styling. Worked with a custom stitch pattern that creates differently textured looks on each side - dimensional square basket weave on one and diamond eyelet on the other - this knit is reversible.

When working with yarn dyed with indigo, it is common and natural for the blue dye to rub off on one’s hands while sewing. This is called crocking. Although the goods have been washed, it takes pressured contact to release the extra indigo dye. Your handwork is part of the indigo dyeing process. The blue dye can be removed with hot water and soap. From working closely with indigo dyed materials through the making process, typically, the excess dye has been removed, and the crocking will cease.
