BerrocoVintage Chunky Yarn 6101 Mochi

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!

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 made a hat with 1 skein, plenty for that. The pumpkin color is perfect for Univ of Texas fans. I love thé feel of this yarn. I think the hats will be nice and warm with the wool content.

This seller was awesome! How sweet a hand written letter, some free yarn to test… lots of little things to check out and read about in bag. Good yarn, is a bit more artificial than I’d like, and can be snaggy on a hangnail… but pretty decent. Will submit another review when blanket is done with picture.

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.

These folks come through in aKnitter’s pinch! So good the first time, I went back and ordered two more hanks! A++

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

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