Beautiful colors for a baby blanket
I love the lovely heathered colors. It has no knots in the skeins, and it softens beautifully after blocking. I made Umaro baby blanket.

I love the lovely heathered colors. It has no knots in the skeins, and it softens beautifully after blocking. I made Umaro baby blanket.
I’m concerned that if I say about the quality of the wool, everyone would want it! So I’ll do it anyway. Yes, the wool can split, it is the nature of the ply, and I wouldn’t want it any other way. I rarely have issues with it splitting and the knit is beautiful, easy to tension and looks amazing when it’s done, stitches well defined and even.. It is my favourite..
Ordered several hanks of Berroco Vintage Chunky. This yarn is absolutely gorgeous and I can't wait to begin my project! Color matched photos shown on line and the quality of this yarn surpassed my expectations! Am more than pleased with my purchase!!
It’s my favorite go to yarn. The only one with more colors is your parent company. It’s for a sweater my next project. Can’t go wrong with any Berroco yarn.
This yarn is delicious! I love working with it the feel of it is great. It also looks beautiful once the project is finished.
This is my new favorite yarn. I love the thickness and the added alpaca it has a bit of a halo look.
