Etna Tee

Volcano Etna in Sicily is an incredible sight to behold. It’s like a place in Space, full of craters and volcanic rock, in an island surrounded by pristine turquoise beaches. The stitches in the tee emulate the rocks and the climb upwards. It’s a comfortable garment, with short sleeves and loose stitches that allow for air to flow. Etna can be as long as you want it to be and it works well in both cotton for the warmer months or wool for the winter. Etna is the sister pattern to the Vesuvius Tee.
