Winter yarns don’t always have to be bulky and heavy! We’re excited to introduce Berroco Mochi – a fluffy yarn that is as delightful as freshly fallen snow. This Baby Alpaca, Wool and Nylon blend comes in an easy to work chainette yarn. This structure lets you knit at a worsted or Aran weight gauge (hello, quick knits!) without having a heavy finished garment. The softly heathered shades feature little multi-color pops of tweed amongst the heavenly fluffy texture. All in all, this yarn is a ton of fun!
