Berroco has announced its line of new yarns for fall. I’m most excited about Berroco Remix (pictured above) which is made of 100% recycled fibers!
Berroco Remix 30% Nylon, 27% Cotton, 24% Acrylic, 10% Silk, 9% Linen. 216 yards per 100g ball. Described by Berroco as “a non-wool tweed,” this 100% recycled yarn is also machine washable.
Berroco Borealis a 60% acrylic/40% wool loosely spun single that apparently sparkles? 108 yards per 100g hank.
Berroco Campus 50% Wool, 40% Acrylic, 10% Alpaca, 130 yards per 100g hank. Love the multicolored action!
Berroco Vintage Chunky a fat version of the popular Berroco Vintage. 50% Acrylic,
40% Wool, 10% Nylon, 130 yards per 100g hank.
Blackstone Tweed Chunky same story as above, a chunky version of a popular favorite. 65% Wool, 25% Superkid Mohair, 10% Angora, 60 yards per 50g ball. (P.S. what is “superkid”? Do the goats wear red and blue capes?)

Complementing the release of Origami, Berroco’s other new yarn for spring is called Weekend, which is 75% Acrylic, 25% Peruvian Cotton.
Weekend™ is the perfect yarn for any laidback knitting project. A soft, comfortable machine washable blend, this yarn is uncomplicated from start to finish.
I’m intrigued by the pairing of acrylic and cotton!

Berroco’s new spring line includes a new yarn called Origami, which is 58% Acrylic, 16% Linen,
15% Nylon, and 11% Cotton.
Origami™ is an exciting new yarn for warm weather months. Many multicolored strands run parallel to each other, wrapped by a black binder and it knits into a remarkably light and crisp finished fabric.
You may have read Yarn Harlot raving about this yarn in a recent post!
