Just Landed – Berroco Pima Soft!

by

Our newest spring yarn arrival is like a soft, fluffy spring cloud. We’re excited to welcome to space the brand new Berroco yarn – Pima Soft! Pima Soft is a delightfully soft two-ply cotton, perfect for anything from beautiful sweaters and accessories to heirloom knits for baby, kids or home. It comes in a full spectrum of colors!

We couldn’t resist immediately swatching. While the yarn is labeled hand wash, we were able to delicately machine wash and dry the swatch. It turned out beautiful! Stop by the store to feel it in person. This yarn is available in store only.
