Ada

.................................... ADA .................................... Sometimes an item of clothing can make us feel like a character in a novel we’ve 
written ourselves. The effortlessly dramatic, and endlessly adaptable Ada, does exactly that.
 
 A classic scoop-neck design with intuitive top-down construction, Ada can be knitted as an elegant short sleeve t-shirt, as a 3/4 sleeve top, or as a jumper with full length 
 sleeves. Despite its no-frills simplicity, there is something mysterious and otherworldly about Ada. A soft, subtle exuberance waiting to infuse an ordinary day with the hushed echo of magic. .................................... MATERIALS & INFORMATION
