All wonderful things come in threes right? Well, Rachel of Unwind Knitwear has definitely pulled everything out the hat for this one! Folklore is a simple yet eye-catching design with delicate colourwork borders, inspired by relaxed summer days. The design can be worked as a waistcoat, V-neck vest, or tee.

As soon as I laid eyes on this beauty, I felt the urge to knit it in Vivacious Botanicals, really making those delicate borders come to their right. Vivacious Botanical is a very special version of our favourite Fyberspates Vivacious range. This high twist merino range is botanically dyed to create a soft cohesive palette of colours, which in my humble opinion will heighten the stunningness of this design even more – truly making it shine!

The majority of the garment is worked flat, from the top down. The stitches for the back are cast on first, with increases worked to shape the armhole, you then work the front pieces, before joining to work the body in the round. Stitches are picked up around the front centre and a combination of stranded colourwork and linen stitch is worked, to form the waistband and neckband simultaneously. At the bind off, you can choose to seam the front of the body together or leave the front open.

Measurements for closed front:

Sizes 1-10 with a finished bust circumference of 78 (87, 97.5, 108, 117) (127.5, 138, 147, 157.5, 164)cm / 31.25 (34.75, 39, 43.25, 46.75) (51, 55.25, 58.75, 63, 65.5)” including recommended 5cm / 2” of positive ease.

Measurements for open front:

Sizes 1-10 with a finished bust circumference of ca. 69.5 (78, 89, 99.5, 108) (119, 129.5, 138, 149, 155.5)cm / 27.75 (31.25, 35.5, 39.75, 43.25) (47.5, 51.75, 55.25, 59.5, 62.25)” including 2.5cm / 1” of negative ease.

We've done the math for you, so according to your size the Folklore Yarn Kit contains all the yarn you need to make the short sleeved tee, the sleeveless vest or the waistcoat, and it can be bought with or without the pattern. In addition you'll need circular needles size 2.75mm / US2 (to work back, front and body; varying cable lengths would be helpful) plus either one cable length of 150-200cm / 60-100” or two shorter cable lengths (to work the neckband and waistband simultaneously, a 3.25mm / US3 needle for bind off only, spare cables or scrap yarn to keep sts on hold, 6 stitch markers and a darning needle for weaving in your ends. Optional: 2.75mm / US2 DPNs can be used for an I-Cord tie.

Take the guess work out of the flow!
Size: 58.3mm, Color: Black
I got this because when my wife makes espresso, it's watery. When i make it, it's fine. We needed a controlled Tampering method so we both do the same job. This is heavy, and being able to use the whole hand instead of fingers, not much effort is needed. Since we purchased this, we were able to make consistent espresso shots for sure.

Not as good as I expected
When it first came, the box fell apart as I was taking it out, and a lot of some kind of dirt or sand kept falling out all over my table and floor. I had the take the entire thing apart and thoroughly wash it. After drying age reassembling it, I tried it on my portafilter that came with my Breville Barista Express, but, somehow, it doesn't always make the tamping level. You would think with the ridge that rests on the side of the portafilter that it would force it to remain level, but, somehow, it doesn't, at least not consistently. It also has varying lengths (heights, or depths), and a single spring tension, so you may still over tamping or under-tamp. I was expecting it would have a censor that would just detect once it reached 30 lbs of force and cut off after that, similar to a torque screwdriver, but that's not what this is. I'll still give it 3 stars because, despite the problems mentioned above, it at least produces some amount of consistency, even if that isn't measurable; but, I can't give it 5 stars because of those issues mentioned above.

This is the one.
Size: 58.3mm, Color: Black
As an el Supremo Coffee Geek, I've wasted money on lots of different tampers. Save your money and buy this one or it's equivalent. This thing is heavy duty, solid, well-made, self-leveling, tamps at 30 pounds and is fool-proof even for fools. Also, it's a palm tamper meaning more fun and more satisfying to use as you prep the puck for your morning buzz. Buy it. You will thank me.

Super easy to use and takes the guess-work out of getting even pressure on the grounds
Size: 58.3mm, Color: Black, Size: 58.3mm, Color: Black
I have been using a hand tamper for many years and have a good idea of the pressure I am applying to the grounds in the portafilter. I honestly considered spring tampers to be a bit silly. But this tamper really does take the guess-work out of pressing the coffee grounds. The shroud helps guide the press so that pressure is applied even and flat across the surface. With the manual tamper, there will be some play when pressing, or some unevenness in pressure. This is especially true when cranking out many espressos during a breakfast party with friends. Having the spring tamper makes quick work of turning out a lot of coffees with consistency. There are no instructions for taking this tamper apart to clean inside, and you may not really need to do that very often. After each use, just pull back the shroud (the black piece that moves up and down) and wipe off the tamper (the shiny steel part). This will help prevent grounds from working their way inside. If you do want to take it apart, it’s easy. Pull back the shroud and unscrew the tamper. It will come apart into three pieces. Wipe the pieces off and reassemble. Super quick and easy. This tamper is very heavy. My scale shows 656 g (about a pound and a half). It fits the portafilter exactly, with no slop. Just place on top of grounds and press!. Don’t even worry about pressure, just push down all the way. Overall I had fun using this tamper versus my manual one. And since I make myself a cappuccino very early in the morning, I don’t have to be very awake to get a good pack on the grounds and get my coffee fast!
