Vintage Chunky by Berroco

A really good yarn to knit with, doesn’t split.

I purchased a few skeins of this yarn to finish crocheting a sweater I had been working on for months. I am a beginner or intermediate crocheter and I do LOTS of accessory crocheting...scarves, hats, mittens, leg warmers, also sweaters, afghans and baby blankets. I generally buy higher end yarns like this Berroco Vintage from a GREAT online website I found, which is also a brick 'n mortar store in the Berkshires Massachusetts. I purchase yarns like Berroco, Valley Yarn, Universal Yarn, Plymouth Yarn, etc from this online store 'cause I find the yarns to be just as pricey (a tad-bit more so usually) as some Lion Brand, Caron Brand and Red Heart yarns (I like Red Heart a lot) but a much finer & higher quality for the price!!I ran short of this chunky yarn in lilac and was fortunate enough to find it online at Amazon. I'm not super-fussy, so I wasn't concerned about color lot and all. Once again, Berroco did not disappoint and I was able to finish my sweater. And while the sweater proved to be too small for me (I'm learning-smile) and I did give it away, I love Berroco yarn and I love the lilac color.For starters, Berroco Vintage Worsted Weight and Chunky Weight yarns come in the prettiest colors and both yarns are nearly perfect for just about any project that requires a wool combination yarn. Berroco yarn is easy to use because it doesn't split, it doesn't tangle, it doesn't quickly pill, it is soft & luxurious to touch and just a dream to work with...especially as a crocheter!Additionally, I find this yarn to be the perfect "bulky" weight yarn, as it is not too thick, nor is it thin (or like a worsted weight yarn). The drape and feeling of this yarn is luxurious given its affordable price and I absolutely love using it. I've made several scarves as gifts from Berroco yarn and I am always proud & pleased to give the gifts to their recipients!.Given the affordable price of this yarn, along with its exceptional quality, gorgeous color choices and variable weights, Berocco yarn has quickly become one of my "go-to" yarns for a variety of projects! I just love it!

Although this is wonderful yarn I was quite disappointed when I ran out way before my finished product. The site I usually buy from was out so I purchased here. It was a little more expensive here so I didn’t even look at the yardage per skein. Lo and behold there’s a little more than half the amount on these skeins. I wasn’t at all happy!!

Reviewed by Patty": This is a very nice yarn, it makes up beautifully. However, the reason for the 4 stars is it is not really a "Chunky" yarn. It is more a worsted weight. Nonetheless, it is great to work with. It will split a little if you aren't careful, but it makes a really nice looking, and feeling, project. I used 2 strands at a time and I am very pleased with the results. I would definitely recommend the yarn, just be warned it may not be the weight you are looking for in a chunky yarn.

My go to yarn for blankets & sweaters. Great colors, knits well. Company very nice to work with.

This yarn is beautiful! The texture is very soft and smooth. It is however a little darker than I expected but overall quality is suburb. I also appreciate the sellers eye for detail. The packaging was pristine and carefully wrapped. A nice surprise. That tells me the seller really cares about their product and how its received by the buyer!

I unexpectedly ran out of this while making a sweater..it was an absolute miracle I found it on Amazon the right dye lot after searching all the yarn shops in my area!

The seller/sender responded super promptly by sending this to me immediately so that I could finish a sweater that I couldn't have due to running out of yarn. Bravo!!!
