For our Yarn Tasting Club - Summer 2023, we were delighted to have the London based knitwear designer Florence Spurling create the beautiful Adelia Shawl.
And here comes now the stunning Adelia Tee!
After designing the shawl pattern, Florence knew she wanted to develop the idea into a garment.
As in the shawl, the Adelia Tee uses the three weights of Nature’s Luxury signature yarn On Stage. Inspired by antique lace fabrics, Adelia combines open delicate stitches with dimensional bobbles and woven yarn inlay that emulates hand embroidery.
Florence’s Adelia Tee is displayed in the colourway Cry Wolf (MC - On Stage Sport), Driving Miss Daisy (CC1 - On Stage – Long Métrage) and The Laughing Hippopotamus (CC2 - On Stage – Short Stories) in size 2, worn with approximately 3.75cm / 1.5 in of positive ease.
