Emily linen knit top and skirt set - gray

Emily set - the top and the skirt, knitted to match

The short-sleeved Emily top with the Emily pencil skirt. Ordered together they come from one dye lot, which matters with linen: two pieces bought apart can sit a shade away from each other, and these will not.

Fine linen-cotton rib with real stretch - it follows the figure without gripping it, so your usual size is the right one.

Linen regulates: it cools when the day is hot and holds the warmth when it turns. This is not only a summer piece.

Three sizes, S to L - the same size in both pieces.

Every panel of this piece is knitted to shape on its own - fully-fashioned, never cut out of a length of knitted fabric. The panels are then hand-linked: a person feeds the open stitches onto the linking machine one loop at a time, so the seams stretch with the knit and lie flat instead of pressing on you.

It is hand-finished - hand-steamed over a shaped pad and washed before it leaves the workshop, so it arrives at its true size and stays there. The yarn is spun in Italy.

I design every piece myself, and it is knitted in a small workshop here in Lithuania - a few at a time, never off a production line.

Every piece passes through my hands before it is packed - I check each one myself before it goes out.

It arrives in a plain brown box with the care card inside and nothing else - no filler paper, no leaflets. That is a choice, not a saving - I would rather use less than print something that is made to be thrown away.

Colour - gray.
