London is a thin and very lightweight blouse with three-quarter sleeves. The blouse is super lightweight, weighs just around 150g and is great to wear both summer and winter.
I had only just gotten the Splendid yarn from Lana Grossa through the door when this blouse called out to me. the name became London
