Venla by Kristel Nyberg

Venla is a lacy and fitted summer top that suits women of many shapes. The cotton and viscose blend has a silky sheen, so Venla is easily styleable to a festive look but it’s just as useable as casual summer wear.

If you can’t find the original yarn, try substituting with a light bamboo or a silk blend.
