Berroco Paperie Trunk Show

February 20 - March 10

We immediately began picking our favorite colorways for projects while unpacking the Berroco Paperie trunk show! This cotton yarn is wrapped with vibrant strips of washable paper to create a soft-to-the-touch fabric dappled with a kaleidoscope of color. Stitches pop in knitting and crochet, and Paperie brings a splash of fun to simple shapes and textures.
