Collection: Berroco Yarn

Berroco has been in the yarn business for over 50 years, but their roots extend way back to the early 1800s with a rich textile family tradition. In 1968, the name Stanley Berroco was born (and the first hand-knitting yarns were sold). We get asked about the name a lot, and Berroco was a combination of two sales representatives last names, BER from Berglass and RO from Rosenberg—plus CO for company, resulting in BERROCO. In 1987 the "Stanely" was dropped as the company was re-established, and quickly became one of the largest importers and wholesalers of yarns, patterns and supplies in the United States. Berroco's range of specialty yarns are imported from countries around the world, including the United Kingdom, Switzerland, Germany, France, Italy, Turkey, Romania, Brazil and Peru.

We love Berroco most for their dedication to knitters AND crocheters. They develop awesome yarns and patterns for both handcrafts. Plus, their color range is sophisticated and timeless, and we're always surprised by their new fiber blends. We turn to their yarns both for classic workhorses (like Vintage and Comfort) and fashion-forward style (see Millefiori Light Luxe, Tiramisu and Coco).
