This season, we seem to be constantly ordering and reordering Berroco Ultra Wool and Ultra Wool DK. Not long before we closed for our Thanksgiving break<\/a>, I unpacked a bigger box than ever from Berroco, for it contained some new colors along with all our old favorites.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Ultra Wool and Ultra Wool DK are smooth and sturdy superwash wools, one of the few that suggests \u201ctumble dry low\u201d rather than \u201clay flat to dry.\u201d They’re easy-care, practical, economical, and come in a wide range of solid and heathered colors; no wonder we’re selling so much of them!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The latest Berroco Portfolio collection features these yarns, and we were delighted when Berroco also sent us a sample of the cover sweater, Lori Versaci’s “Lane’s Island Pullover.”<\/a>\u00a0There’s nothing like a finished garment to give you a sense of how a particular yarn knits up, and this one has already compelled plenty of knitters to try Ultra Wool DK, many of whom return to it for other projects.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

April was one of the first knitters we knew to complete an adult-sized sweater in Ultra Wool DK, and when she wore it in, singing the yarn’s praises, we were truly impressed. The cables of her “Bowery Tunic”<\/a>\u00a0show beautifully, and April didn’t report any of the out-of-control stretching that superwash wools can sometimes experience during blocking.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Margie has also been working with Ultra Wool DK of late, knitting not one, but two “Isabelline Cowls.”<\/a> I never tire of seeing what an impact a change in color can have; this pair is a nice example of how low- and high-contrast color combinations can both work beautifully in stranded colorwork. And you might be surprised which of these has higher contrast – I was! Look at these photos through the black and white filter on your camera and you’ll see what I mean.<\/p>\n

\"\" \"\"<\/p>\n

Ultra Wool DK is great for crochet projects, too! Check out Linda’s amazing blanket for proof positive.<\/p>\n

Look for Ultra Wool and Ultra Wool DK here at the shop, and keep an eye out for something new from Berroco, too… more on that soon!<\/p>\n
