Personally, I love Bottone’s “bumpy” texture; it’s an interesting alternative to standard cottons for spring and summer tops. The colors are lovely muted pastels.

This 94% cotton, 6% polyamide yarn from Lana Grossa features tonal slubs and a linen-like touch. The colors are beautifully muted, and the slubs provide just the right amount of visual interest.
