This gorgeous lightweight merino top is printed with a design created from the flax lilly grass, the one that has the purple berry’s and the purple and yellow flowers. I first got to know this grass through my friends grass weaving workshop. Flax is what linen is usually made from, this one is an Australian version. It’s super strong when dried and perfect for weaving.

The fabric has been knitted locally to our print studio and store, from a special custom made yarn of 87% superfine merino, 13% biodegradable nylon.

Bio-nylon is added to give extra strength to the wool, but also means at its end of life, and then 5 years in landfill conditions it will start to break down back into the earth. (here is an article with more info)

It’s very soft and light so works as a layer on its own or as a great thermal layer when its really cold. We gave this round a subtle a-line flare in the body, for a more flattering fit.

100% Made in Melbourne/Naarm.
