We’re excited to welcome Berroco Wizard back to space! This year, in addition to the stunning array of gradients we have come to know and love, we also have coordinating solids! Wizard is a unique chunky weight yarn, offering a softly durable chain ply that creates an ultra light and cozy fabric. The team at Berroco has come up with a selection of delightful new patterns this year in both knit and crochet – all of which are currently in the shop for a trunk show! Be sure to stop by and see them in person (and squish the yarn!).
