Whispers of frost and delicate lace come together in EISLA, a topdown, seamless top inspired by frozen leaves glistening in winter light. Knit in a soft sport-weight yarn with a subtle melange effect, the texture evokes the quiet beauty of nature caught in stillness.

The yoke features a graceful lace motif reminiscent of icy foliage, gently unfolding into clean, comfortable lines. With its flattering shape and serene details, Eisla is a soothing knit and a timeless wardrobe piece.

The ease across sizes is 15 cm/6”. The picture shows size 3 with 15 cm/6” of positive ease.
