The third and last piece of the summer capsule collection made with our cool pure cotton Lincoln yarn is an oversized net bag! Spacious and light, it’s the must have beach accessory. We chose to do it in green that reminds us of that military one, as in our opinion it’s a colour that goes with almost anything but Lincoln comes in a such a wide variety of colours that you’ll be spoilt for choice.

Modelling yet again is the bubbly Giulia and what you can see in the background is still Monterosso, in Cinque Terre but this time in the old town. The sandals of course are Lanapo’s, whose shop we can also see here.

Here we go. The tutorial is ready and waiting!
