Valley Yarns 996 Nougat

Valley Yarns Nougat is a women’s oversized lace topper that will be enjoyed for three of the four seasons knit in Southwick. This fabulous pullover is perfect over a tank this spring, or a swimsuit this summer, or even over a long-sleeved tee in the fall. It features a wide v-neck with an allover lace leaf motif that is knit flat in pieces from the bottom up and then seamed. Valley Yarns Southwick combines the softness of Pima cotton with the beauty and drape of the bamboo fiber to create a silky soft yarn with a fluid drape. The lace leaf patterns are charted and written out.
