viStaVista is part of the Mountaintop Collection of yarns spun with natural undyed fibers that you have to see and feel to truly appreciate. Vista, which is interchangeable with 100% wool Crestone, is a lovely blend of superfine alpaca and wool. The blend produces a durable yarn that is long-wearing while still maintaining a soft hand.

designed by Deborah Newton

Originally knit in Boston and designed by Deborah Newton in 1987 (and modeled by a teenaged Uma Thurman – see final page of pattern), we have updated the fit but kept the relaxed feel of this classic pullover re-worked in MountainTop Vista. Worked in pieces then seamed, each half of the collar of the new version meets at center front instead of overlapping.
