The story+
Can't, I'm reading: an embroidered bookish ghost sweatshirt for the reader who has turned down every invitation this month, and for the book club that meets to prove it.
A little sheet ghost sits under a blanket reading an open book, with a short candle and its tiny flame on one side and a small stack of books on the other. CAN'T. runs across the top in bold slab capitals and I'M READING. across the bottom, all in stitched thread at the center of the chest. The thread is navy on Sand and white on Navy.
Wear it to the reading nook, the library or the book club swap, as a cozy layer for fall and winter. Original art, made for Graphic Tees Co. and embroidered the day you order it.

Questions+
- How does the embroidered Ghost Can't, I'm Reading crewneck fit?
- This is a classic unisex Gildan 18000 crewneck sweatshirt from Graphic Tees Co., cut in sizes S through 3XL. Order your usual size for a regular fit, or go up one for a cozy, oversized reading-nook look. If the size is off, we cover one free size exchange within 30 days.
- How big is the embroidery and what colors is it stitched in?
- The embroidered design sits at the center of the chest and measures about 3.7 inches wide and 2.7 inches tall, with CAN'T. above the ghost and I'M READING. below, every capital about 0.4 inch tall. The thread is navy on the Sand sweatshirt and white on the Navy one, so every line and letter reads on its color.
- Is this a good gift for a reader or a book club?
- Yes. It is a gift for the reader who always has one more chapter to get through and for a whole book club swap. This bookish ghost sweatshirt comes in Sand or Navy, sizes S through 3XL, and the free size exchange within 30 days covers a wrong guess.
- How do I wash an embroidered sweatshirt?
- Turn it inside out and wash it in cold water with similar colors, then tumble dry on low or hang it to dry. Skip bleach and fabric softener, and never iron directly over the stitching. Cold washing keeps the thread ghost, the candle and the lettering looking crisp for years.
- Will it arrive in time for Christmas?
- Graphic Tees Co. makes each embroidered sweatshirt to order, and US orders over $45 ship free. For a holiday gift, order by about December 8 so it arrives with time to spare. If the size is a guess, the free size exchange within 30 days covers the recipient too.
- How do I wash this sweatshirt?
- Inside out, cold water, gentle cycle. Skip bleach and fabric softener, then hang dry or tumble dry low. Never iron directly on the print.
