Berroco Hearthside Trunk Show

August 9 - August 26

We have the Berroco Hearthside Trunk Show visiting space! This is a brand new yarn for the season from our friends at Berroco. A unique chunky weight yarn, Hearthside is a softly durable chainette construction with natural fibers that creates an ultra light and cozy fabric.  You won’t want to wait to wrap yourself up in it! Make timelessly chic garments, accessories, and more with the understated natural shades of this alpaca, wool, and cotton blend yarn. Come see these garments in person through the end of the month.
