Berroco Vintage is one of those yarns knitters keep coming back to. Reviewers describe it as a great multipurpose yarn that knits up beautifully, and many say it works up nicely across blankets, sweaters, hats and scarves.
Customers say the stitches show clearly, so lace, colourwork and textured patterns stand out. One reviewer who used it for a colourwork cowl described the result as having lots of bounce and excellent stitch definition.
Reviewers say the colour choices are a real highlight. Many buyers describe the shades as beautiful, with sharp, crisp tones that keep a rustic character. Jewel shades and softer pastels both have fans, so there is plenty to choose from for a gift or a bold project.
Customers say it feels soft against the skin, which makes it a favourite for baby blankets and children's garments. One reviewer, who finds some wools irritating, said it felt good to knit with and caused no bother. Another liked that finished pieces can be machine washed, making them less fussy to look after.
Knitters making gifts often mention how well it suits everyday wear, from a scarf around the neck to a sweater a grandchild will live in.
Berroco Vintage suits knitters who want a dependable, soft yarn for family projects, especially childrenswear. Those who have used it for years describe it as a go-to yarn they keep returning to.

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.
