The yarn was a wool Sanli knitting yarn. I'd add more information, but the label is in Japanese. I was amazed at the sett - I originally thought it would be something like 13 epi, but I started weaving and didn't like the way it was turning out at all. I resleyed it twice before I got it to look the way I wanted. That wasted some yarn, and I actually pulled some of the warp out to give me enough to finish the piece. But all this meant I learned a lot, so that's a good thing. I have some more of this yarn in other colors, so the information will be useful later. I like weaving with cotton / silk / linen better than weaving with wool, but I like sewing better with wool.
I don't know if you can see the button in the picture, but it's a glass button I got on Ebay. It's perftect for this vest because it's a pink and turquoise button.
