Capturing the dynamic rhythm of the sea and its marvelous inhabitants, the Soft Shores Top reflects the tender touch of oceanic beauty. Front and back panels in stockinette stitch slant inward, creating a flattering silhouette that’s beautifully complimented by widening garter stitch side panels—from underarm to hem.

Crafted in The Fibre Co.’s Cirro—a blend of Suri alpaca, organic cotton, and Merino wool—this top-down knit ensures a light and airy feel. Neat finishes, like the narrow hem ribbing and i-cord neckline, further enhance its delicate charm. Knit the Soft Shores Top and immerse yourself in the gentle whispers of the sea with every stitch.

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.
