The top Sea Me top is a light, elegant design, perfect for the summer months, but not just that: worn under a cardigan, it will reveal its cool neckline detail.
It’s worked in Gossypium Cotton Tweed by Erika Knight: a DK yarn, composed of 96% cotton and 4% polyester, with a yardage of approximately 125 m per 50 g.
This yarn is pleasant to work with, offering excellent stitch definition that beautifully highlights the fabric. Its subtle colorful flecks add a discreet touch of character—perfect for giving a project a lively twist while keeping the look elegant and refined.
But if you don’t have this yarn on hand or would like to give your project a different personality, here are some interesting alternative yarns.
Note: I’ve provided Ravelry links for each yarn, so you can have a detailed technical data sheet for each yarn and links to the stores that have registered this quality in their store, or the link to the brands directly.
