Designed to echo the quiet elegance of the seaside, the Fanshell Tee’s enchanting lace shell pattern cascades gracefully down the center front and along the sleeves. Knitting with the luxuriously soft Amble, you’ll feel the gentle embrace of the soft merino and alpaca fibres as the piece is worked in the round from the bottom up.

The neckline, hem, and cuffs are edged with garter stitch and reflect the subtle allure of the seaside’s simplistic beauty. Tailor this piece to your preference with three sleeve lengths, allowing for a personal touch of comfort and style. Ideal for soul-soothing strolls and moments of quiet reflection, this top isn’t just worn—it’s experienced.

The Almanac Series III
The Almanac Series is an ongoing collection celebrating each month of the year with a Yarn of the Month. It is based on the original farmer’s Almanac, a nature-inspired guide to the seasons. In our first two Almanacs, we looked to land with our theme of herbalism. Then to the skies, with our theme of astronomy. Now we look to the seas.

Our third Almanac Series is inspired by the oceans to acknowledge the importance of maintaining a balanced and thriving ocean ecosystem. The moodiness of the deep ocean, the chill of polar seas, the patterns and rhythm of winter swells, and the great migrations of sea birds were some of the inspirations behind this Almanac Series.

We invite you to feel inspired by the high seas and explore this theme with us.
