Pointelle is a specialised knitting technique that creates a delicate, patterned look with tiny geometric openings, resembling fine lace. While it looks light and dainty, our pointelle is knitted from cotton yarns that provide a wonderfully cosy base. It is the ideal weight for autumn—keeping her comfortable on its own during milder days, or acting as a thermal layer under jumpers and gilets when temperatures drop. Will the open-work knit stretch out, bag, or lose its shape after running through the wash? Not at all. We have engineered this jersey with 5% high-grade elastane fibres woven directly into the cotton blend. This allows the delicate pointelle weave to stretch comfortably to match her movements before returning to its original tailored shape. How should I wash this delicate top to protect both the texture and the print? To preserve the beautiful pointelle weave and keep the all-over print looking bright, machine wash the top completely inside out on a cool, gentle cycle with similar colours. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can break down the elastic fibres over time. Skip the tumble dryer entirely; instead, reshape the top while damp and lay it flat or hang it to air dry. Machine washable. 95% Cotton, 5% Elastane.
