The Lucas Tee is a lightweight, effortlessly wearable top featuring elegant twisted stitch details that evoke the structured beauty of nature. Designed for warm-weather layering, this circular yoke tee is knit seamlessly from the top down in GOR Woollen Mill Summer Fiesta—a fingering-weight blend of superfine merino and linen that provides both softness and breathability.

Named in honor of Eleanor Lucas and the Lucas Girls of Ballarat, this design pays tribute to the women who shaped history through their craftsmanship and dedication. Just as the Lucas Girls left a lasting mark with their work and the planting of the Avenue of Honour, this tee is a celebration of skill, creativity, and heritage.
Perfect for transitional seasons, the Lucas Tee combines subtle texture with a timeless fit, making it a versatile addition to any handmade wardrobe.
