Introducing
Hazel Top
"A relaxed, wear-everywhere knit with heart and heritage. Named after my great aunt...a spunky, independent
woman who lived life on her own terms...the Hazel Top is made for easy days, casual adventures, and moments of quiet confidence."
This top-down tee is worked in fingering weight yarn with a soothing half brioche rib that gives it soft texture and drape. You’ll begin by shaping the back and front shoulders flat before joining in the round under the arms. Clean i-cord finishes give the neckline, hem, and sleeves a polished look.

Care Instructions
While we do our very best to ensure colorfastness in our yarns, a small amount of color transfer is not uncommon in hand-dyed yarns, particularly when combining the more brilliant, saturated colorways with a lighter one (think of washing a new pair of jeans with a bright white tee shirt). It is for these reasons that we fully embrace spritzing and steam blocking. It gives complete control over the areas you want to smooth and straighten, yet still allows the yarn to bloom and lets you decide just how much to let it grow.
Most of our wool is considered superwash, and even for these we always recommend hand washing in a gentle wool wash such as Eucalan or Soak and then laying flat to dry. We pride ourselves on the luxurious fabrics that our bases create and due to the cashmere content in most, there are only a select few that we would consider machine washing (Feet Fingering) and even then, only with the most minimal agitation possible or even no agitation. When blocking or washing a NON-superwash, please be mindful to avoid warmer water temperatures and any agitation, as this may lead to the felting and/or shrinking of your fabric.
When you do find the need to fully immerse a piece with several colorways, we suggest always creating a small swatch to soak first. All you need are just a few rows, no need to be in the pattern, just using all the colors. If the swatch does not bleed into itself, go ahead and bathe the full project with confidence. We have also had success using a Shout Color Catcher and/or a light vinegar rinse when immersing the various dark/light colorways together in a bath of cool water.
You can learn more about the contents of each of our bases on the yarns tab of our website and if you have additional questions please don't hesitate to let us know.
We hope this helps with your project planning!
