Valley Yarns Tamarind is a large-scale lace topper that is an elegant statement piece, providing three-season wear over a tee shirt or a blouse. Knit in Conway, Tamarind’s lace body is worked back and forth in rows from the bottom up to the underarm. Decrease shaping integrated into the lace pattern adds subtle A-line shaping to the body. Minimal seams are at the shoulders only. Valley Yarns Conway is a very soft blend of Pima cotton and acrylic with a slight sheen—perfect for warmer-weather garments. The lace patterns are charted and written out.
