Ava Mini Tee - Silk/Organic Hemp/Cotton

Our very first batch of our Ava Mini Tee is now online! If your size isn't available yet leave an email in the "Notify Me" field.

New for Spring Summer from the Woollykins Knittery. Designed and Knit in Castlemaine for our inhouse label UMIFORM. 

Influenced by '40s hand-knit blouses, the Ava mini tee has cap sleeves and shaping at the waist and looks très chic and casual. Ava is a fully fashioned seamless shell blouse and features a high V-neck with a lace stitch pattern and moss stitch edging, and is knit in a beautifully soft silk noil, organic hemp, and cotton blend yarn.

Silk noil is characterised by its raw matt silky slubs which combined with the cool and dry feel of organic hemp and cotton make for the perfect summer weight knit fabric. Flecks of colour make the yarn sparkle and add interest and depth to the fabric. The lacy holes from the stitch pattern create an open, airy feel. Looks really flattering with pants, skirts, or layered under pinafores or oversized shirts.

This yarn is from Hong Kong company UPW which we have found to be a highly sustainable and environmentally conscious yarn producer across all stages of the process from fibre sourcing and throughout the entire production process. Their yarns are spun and dyed in China. There is traceability across all their fibres and responsible practices, such as 100% of their wool fibres come from RWS certified farms and all of their cashmere and yak fibre is certified and meets the Good Cashmere Standard (GCS) that protects animal welfare and grasslands as well as the livelihood of herders. OCS and GOTS certified plant fibres ensure best practices to protect soil and biodiversity as well as farmers and to keep pesticides out of clothing. You can find more information about their practices here.
