Notes

I am so happy with how this tank top turned out! It is even prettier than I imagined it would be. The tow linen lends a rustic quality that combined with it’s sheen gives an effortless elegance to the knitted fabric. The A-line shape is tighter in the bust, loose around the tummy, comfortable with wide straps that are placed to cover bra straps and the lace adds a delicate, vintage lingerie feel.

I’m also excited by the price of the yarn, just $34 for a 250 g skein and I didn’t even use the whole thing! This linen was meant for weaving so it’s a little stiff at first but softens beautifully in the wash, or even just with handling.
