This weeks yarn features…
Newly added to the Berroco’s yarn lineup this year, CHAI and ZINNIA were two of the yarns debuted in Berroco’s Spring Taste Pack. This week we are highlighting these two DK weight (#3) yarns, along with some wonderful patterns made in Chai, but can also be made with Zinnia.
Both Chai & Zinnia are part of Berroco’s DropShip program, meaning that we can order them for you in any colour and in any amount, no minimums.
If you prefer to use an in-stock yarn, may we suggest:
Bamboo Pop
Ultra Pima
Uneek Cotton
