Handmade crochet sweater vest made of upcycled yarn.

This vest is called SANTOS and is part of a series called SAUDADE in which I transformed my memories of Portugal into fibre art pieces. I created this series when I was away from my beloved Portugal and felt a particular form of absence that is called saudade in Portuguese.

The vest is fully handmade out of upcycled yarns that I collect from second hand stores. I usually hunt for fast fashion knitwear for this purpose, unravel them and then use the yarn to make new creations. Because we just donu2019t need to make our carbon footprint even bigger to look cool, I believe.

This is a cropped style vest in size small/medium, chest is 100 cm and the length from shoulder to waist is 38 cm.

Cleaning instructions:
Airing crochetwear is usually sufficient. When you need to wash, do it by hand washing with a laundry detergent made for delicate fabrics. Dry by laying on a flat surface. Never put it in the dryer. This way you can enjoy your crochet piece for many many years.

Though this is a one off I can make more to order in different sizes and styles however colors will vary due to the upcycling factor. If you have any questions or ideas feel to message me!
