DETAILS
I love working with hand-dyed yarns—their colors are so rich and vibrant—but I sometimes find the way they pool in garments a bit distracting. For example, sleeves might show thicker pooling or striping, while the body forms thinner lines or zigzags, creating an uneven look. In this design, I’ve kept the fabric widths consistent throughout, which helps maintain a uniform pooling or striping pattern across the entire tee. The result is a cohesive, balanced fabric that really lets the beauty of the yarn shine.
This tee is meant to have 6 to 15” or 15 to 38 cm of ease for easy layering.
