We've had a great time the last couple of nights going over the new Fall/Winter lines from Berroco. If you'd like to watch our Virtual Yarn Tasting again (or missed it), you can find it here:
As a summary, I've put all the information below. This will give you the basic information for each of the new yarns and links to Berroco's website pages where you can peruse all the colourways and pattern books. (All of the patterns are available as a PDF book or individual patterns through their website or Ravelry. We have a few actual books for sale in store.)
Make sure to head over to our Sweet Yarnies Facebook Group (https://www.facebook.com/groups/sweetyarnies) where we'll be discussing our next make-a-long. And stop by the store to check out all the samples and pattern books, and to ask me any questions.
