Aigues is a dream of a tee – it's fabulous on its own and equally great pulled over a camisole or a light summer dress. Its comfy, oversized fit and structured lines make it an easy warm weather staple in any wardrobe.
Aigues is worked from the top down, first flat for the back and front until the desired armhole depth, and then in the round. The structured lace pattern is intuitive and contemplative. It allows for air to flow through, but isn't see through.

Hands-down one of the best plant yarns on the market! Antigone is a sport-weight 100% linen yarn with a smooth and silky finish, perfect for summer tops, shirts and cardigans for layering. Linen likes to be washed (preferrably in the washing machine!) and worn and so your FOs will just get softer and softer over time.
