APRIL BONUS COLOUR – JAGUAR GOD COLOURWAY
This is a limited edition colourway that will be available ONLY in April.
“The language of the Aztecs was called the Nahuatl language. Aztec writing built upon previous Mesoamerican cultures and was an adaptation of previous writing systems that existed in Central Mexico. The Aztecs developed the technique of pictograms and wrote a variety of codices to transfer oral knowledge. These codices are works of art, and some showing the priests of Tezcatlipoca, the god of change who is associated with the Jaguar, are particularly striking and inspired a bonus colourway of their own!” – quoted from Ancient Arts Yarns

What is the Berroco DropShip program?
What started out as an ingenious solution to pandemic restrictions has now become an invaluable tool. Berroco 123 DropShip is a program that allows you to place yarn and pattern orders with us here at London Yarns and to purchase yarns by the ball/skein, so you can buy as many or as few of each brand and each colour as needed with no minimums, no maximums. As an added bonus, if you purchase yarn to make any of Berroco’s patterns, they will include the printed pattern FREE of charge, even if they usually charge for the PDF pattern.
So, if there is a Berroco yarn that you would like to work with, feel free to place your order with us.
**Since we can order as little as ONE BALL, it’s also a great way to test out, sample and swatch with new yarns before committing to an entire project!
The DropShip Program includes ALL of Berroco’s yarns as well as their partner brands – AMANO YARNS, and LOPI.
Please note: Because the DropShip Program is a ‘special order’ program, we require payment at time of ordering and all sales are final.
