Lastlong Tank

……….……….………. LASTLONG TANK ……….……….………. A light and airy addition to the [Lastlong Collection][1], this classic tank is designed for fingering weight yarns - which, combined with fisherman’s rib and a relaxed gauge, gives it exceptional drape and fluidity. Try it in a linen or silk blend for a gorgeously cooling summer top, or in a rustic wool as a cozy yet practically weightless layering piece. A play on words that speaks to the enduring mythologies of fishermen’s garments, *lastlong* means cargo ship in Irish Gaelic. ……….……….……….
