ABOUT THE LONDON SKY TEE
The London Sky Tee is a modern, lightweight wardrobe staple blending effortless elegance with a dash of playful color. Inspired by shifting skies and soft city light, this top-down tee is knit using DK weight yarn and offers gentle pops of color throughout, thanks to easy-to-knit colorwork details.

With its flattering shape and smooth finishes, it’s a piece that feels as good to wear as it does to knit. Whether you’re pairing it with jeans or skirts, the London Sky Tee is a go-to for warmer days or layering across seasons.
