To celebrate the release of the Tide Tee, there’s a little introductory sale: use code TIDE for a 20% discount until Monday, June 29th, 2026 (the end of the day, Helsinki time)!

Tide Tee is the one top you can reach for all summer long! This T-shirt features a European shoulder shaping with set-in sleeves worked simultaneously and all in garter stitch. This construction gives the tee a nice relaxed fit with just enough of a tailored feel.

Choose your favourite linen blend, like I did with Aara Yarn Lauha - or maybe you want to knit this with a silk blend for luxurious drape.

Tide Tee is designed in collaboration with Aara Yarn for Jyväskylä Knit Fest 2026!
