Superb yarn!
I like the quality of the yarn. I have made over 20 blankets from this yarn. It has softness, durability, and how it knits up. I like the colour choices.

I bought 2 different colors of this yarn recently, and made 2 scarves as gifts. One scarf has a simple leaf lace pattern, and the other is a sampler style, with blocks of many different patterns. The yarn is easy and quick to knit, and shows the patterns well. I used about 2.5 skeins of each for scarves about 12" x 6'. It feels soft around the neck, and the recipients appreciated the ease of care - machine washable. I was unsure how to block it, since it's a blend of wool and acrylic, but I...
I used this for a colorwork cowl and it came out terrifically. Lots of bounce with excellent stitch definition. Highly recommend this yarn!
Berroco vintage is one of my favorite yarns to work with, it knits up very nicely. I’ve used it for blankets, sweaters, children’s clothing. It can be washed dried in the dryer.
I am enjoying working with this yarn. It seems to be good so far. I haven't gotten too far in my project yet but has a nice texture. Doesn't seem to split. Beautiful color.
Berrocco yarn is great I have used many of their different yarns. Good price, lots of nice colours and washes well.
Love how soft the yarn is. I'm making a baby blanket and it is perfect!
Very nice yarn to work with, knits up beautifully! Can't wait to see how gorgeous my blanket looks!!
Beautiful yarn, great to work with! Can't wait to see it all put together in the MKAL I'm working.
I have used Vintage for several projects. The washability makes its care less fussy.
