Simple, easy-to-memorize lace is worked from side-to-side to create the subtle look of vertical stripes in this boxy, stress free tee. Extra-fine Merino wool blended with cotton and cashmere gives this design its gentle drape and soft feel. It would be stunning in any one of Fibra Natura Ravello’s 16 shades.
