Simple 'Tee' Using Rowan Alpaca Classic

The Design “Simply stylish.” This sweet, simple top works perfectly in any wardrobe! Styled casual or dressy, the Simple Tee has drape and grace for days. Knit flat in pieces and then seamed, you can customize both the sleeve and hem length to your liking. And that ballet neckline is so flattering and feminine! This version of the Simple Tee was knit in Rowan Alpaca Classic—soft, sophisticated, and oh, so snuggle-able! The cotton net at the core of this DK-weight strand captures an abundance of alpaca fuzz for a yarn that’s as light as it is soft. The dye, which saturates the alpaca fiber with a jewel-like intensity, infuses with the cotton more gently. The result brings brilliant tonal depths to your Simple Tee!
