https://www.yarn.com/products/valley-yarns-1381-valencia-... a stylish cabled vest that gets a boost of interest from colorful Savoy yarn. Eco-friendly Savoy blends viscose with recycled wool, cashmere, and polyamide for a soft yarn that gives these fibers a second life and adds vibrant color to your project. Valencia is knit in the round from hem to underarms, where the back and front are completed flat separately and joined at the shoulders with a three-needle bind-off. The focal point of this versatile layer is the cable panel climbing up the front and splitting to run up each side of the V-neck. A ribbed neckband and armbands give a polished finish to Valencia and have it ready to add warmth and style to any wardrobe. Cable pattern is both charted and written out.
