I have used this before and just love it for making coffee collars!
Beautiful soft yarn, for a big squishy cowl project. Already completed a hat.
Gorgeous color, so soft and knit up beautifully. Love this yarn!!
Berroco is a great product. I needed this particular color and Lovecraft was the only one that had it. I would have gladly ordered from Alpaca Direct first. But they didn't have this color. Next time, I'll wait for Alpaca Direct. Lovecraft has burned their bridge.
Incredibly soft and smooshy, and a beautiful colour!
Berocco alpaca lovely yarn to knit
Absolutely gorgeous to both knit and crochet. So soft. Perfect for a cowl or shawl.
A lovely soft yarn in beautiful colours, including stunning two-tone shades which knits up satisfyingly fast. One of my top two favourite yarns!
This is a great yarn. I’m right in the middle of making a queen sized blanket and it’s coming out beautiful. It has been at times a little hard to acquire.
