A delicate central pleat on the front panel adds shape and movement to this otherwise simple tank, while the sleeveless, V-neck design keeps things light and breathable. Whether you're pairing it with shorts for a picnic or dressing it up with a flowing skirt, this piece adds handmade flair to any warm-weather outfit.
With a flair of personality, this top is perfect for adventurous beginners and beyond.
This pattern includes basic shaping and a small amount of cable work.
Spun with Purpose
This kit stars Chirapa, a luxurious 100% organic cotton with the perfect balance of softness, structure and subtle shine. The vibrant variegation of Chirapa brings the Alba Top to life, offering beautiful striping and colour interplay without any need for complex stitchwork. This brush and airspun cotton creates a plush yarn with a unique texture. Ethically designed in Peru, made in Italy and hand-picked by us, this yarn is both stunning and conscious.
