Knitting kit for Mey Camisole by Creadia Studio in Önling's Silk kit
Mey Camisole is a classic and timeless top with an interesting neckline and a tight stitch structure. This top is closely related to Pi Camisole, but knitted on larger needles. Worked from the bottom-up, starting in the centre.
Here we knit the Mey Camisole in our unique Silk kit, which consists of 3 yarns worked together. You knit with one strand of beautiful tussah silk, 1 strand of linen and one strand of light merino wool. The result is a lovely light and soft top, with a unique, lightly mottled look that can be used all year round and is perfect to wear under a shirt, jacket, blazer etc.
The pattern is a PDF file. Immediately after purchase you will be able to download the pattern directly from the purchase confirmation page. You will also receive an e-mail with a link to your pattern, and the pattern will be available here at the site via your personal account - so remember to create an account :-) Read more about digital knitting patterns here.

ABOUT PATTERNS FROM ÖNLING
In 95% of all kits from Önling, you get a digital pattern and yarn when you buy a kit. Read more about how to get hold of your digital knitting pattern here.
In very few cases, however, we provide a printed pattern rather than a digital one:
- When you buy a kit for ALL designs from PetiteKnit's, you will receive a printed, pattern together with your yarn, as we are unfortunately not allowed to sell Petite Knits' patterns digitally.
- When you buy a kit for a design from selected books (e.g. Helga Isager), you sometimes have to buy the book separately, in cases where the patterns are not released to be sold separately. It will always be clearly described in the product title, with for example "xx kit, excluding pattern", when the pattern is not included.
- All patterns from Isager are delivered as a printed pattern, as we do not have access to sell these digitally. You will receive your pattern along with your yarn shipment.
Wool can last for years, but it requires good care. Washing is tough on your woolen garments and in general wool needs to be washed much less than other materials as it has a self-cleaning effect.
