Ankers Tee / Tynn Line
We shared the Anker's Summer Shirt back in 2021 and we STILL love it! We knit that one in worsted weight Line.
With spring and summer on the horizon, we're dreaming about getting a warm weather sweater on our needles...but we want it in a lighter weight. Lucky for us, there's a fingering weight version in the Anker series!
We love the Anker Tee for all of the same reasons we loved the Anker's Summer Shirt; the simplicity and elegance and...well, let's just put it in bold letters: other than weaving in the ends, there's absolutely no finishing!
For the yarn, we're using Tynn Line, a 53% cotton/33% viscose/14% linen blend from Norway. It's incredibly soft and it's super-easy to care for (machine wash), which makes it ideal for frequently-used spring and summer items.
Note: it may seem a little tricky calculating yardage for the Anker Tee, since you have to convert the pattern's specified grams to yards, but we've made it easy: just check the chart above for yarn quantity guidance.
Tynn Line can be found HERE! The Anker Tee pattern is HERE.
