New from Berroco: Paperie
What's happening at | ![]() |
Introducing Paperie: Structure meets playful charm in new Berroco Paperie. This cotton yarn is wrapped with vibrant stripes of washable paper to create a soft-to-the-touch fabric dappled with a kaleidoscope of color. Stitches pop in knitting and crochet, and Paperie brings a splash of fun to simple shapes and textures. With a gauge of 16 stitches / 4 inches on US 9 knitting needles, you can work up a quick summer top in no time! Stop in to see our sample shawl and feel this yarn for yourself. Stop in to see the beautiful colors in person, or you can buy online here: Paperie. West Michigan Yarn Quest 2025 is coming May 10-20: Stop in soon to get your passport for only $5! Check out West Michigan Yarn Quest on Facebook and Instagram for updates and sneak peaks! |
