Lagos by Alison Green
Berroco Vera, color 11505 Carving Party

Meet Vera; a summery DK weight yarn spun with organic cotton & aloe vera! The aloe vera is used to create viscose fiber that is then blended with organic cotton for this unique yarn.

Breathable & moisture-wicking, the yarn knits into warm weather-ready tees, tanks & tops. The soft, light fabric feels as nice to wear as it does to knit. A smooth tape construction delivers even stitches with crisp definition. The colorful, yet muted palette is perfect for resort & weekend knits.

One of our favorites from the collection is Lagos. Versatile and effortlessly stylish, the tank is gorgeous worn alone or layered under a cardigan or blazer for work. It is knit seamlessly in the round from the bottom up & features lace side panels for a style upgrade. The deep cantaloupe color is a fresh choice & vacay ready.

Two other patterns that showcase this innovative yarn are Destin & Maui (crochet). Both pieces take advantage of the lovely drape & stitch definition that lends itself so well to lace.
