Noa is a T-shirt with quiet elegance. She’s soft, cool, and oh-so-easy to wear.

Worked from the top down, her DK-weight soft cotton and silk blend creates a fabric that’s fluid but heavy enough to avoid any cling.

Gentle stripes flow through the body, while handstitching up the sides of the body and the raglan lines the sides adds subtle structure and beautiful detail.

With a clean finish at her curved neckline, relaxed sleeves finishing just above the elbow and chic details, Noa is breezy and wearable – just right for warm days, whether you’re dressing up or unwinding at home.

Wear her over skirts, trousers or shorts – and have fun playing with colour accents through the stripes and stitching.

Perfect for knitters who love to wear their creations all year round, Noa is a fun knit for both new and experienced garment knitters.
