Artemisia Dress
This series is named Artemisia, one of the only known female Italian painters. Artemisia Gentileschi created masterpieces in painting and drawing during the Renaissance in Italy. She was named one of the best italian artists after Michelangelo during her time period and was the first female ever to be enrolled in the Art Academy of Florence. Artemisia’s paintings focus on the female experience and are a response and protest against the great gender disparities of her time.

Yarn Borgo de’Pazzi, Borgo de’Pazzi, Amore Cotton 300, 75% cotton, 25% polyester, 100g, 300m (328yds)
Yarn Amounts necessary if using this yarn: 4 (4, 5, 5, 6) 7, 7, 7, 8 skeins.
For this pattern, I recommend a plant fiber such as cotton, linen, or bamboo. This design is not tested in wool or acrylics, and I don’t think that those fibers will do you any favors as this top is intended to have drape and an open fabric.
