Comments about Berroco Boboli:
Each time a client of mine turns 90, or enters a nursing home, I make them the most elegant, softest, lush afghan possible. The response has been overwhelming. It is a way for me to indulge my delight..playing with colors..and say in the softest manner possible, "Goodbye" to friends of thirty, forty years. I shall stockpile Boboli because it is the perfect base for these blankets.

Comments about Berroco Boboli:
I used this yarn in a shadow knitting scarf.
The color changes in this yarn gave me the contrasts I was looking for with a nice soft drape to the fabric.
I would like to see this yarn in a multi ply yarn instead of a single ply only.

Comments about Berroco Boboli:
This is the first time I've purchased this yarn. It's for the trim on Freddo, a free sweater pattern from Berroco using Voyage for the body and Boboli for trim. The colors look very good together and I can't wait to start knitting.

Comments about Berroco Boboli:
I have not blocked or washed this yarn yet. There is a halo of fibres, and I don't know if it pills. I hope not.
This yarn is soft and beautiful, I have seen a sweater made from Boboli yarn and it was incredibly gorgous! :-)) Jul

Comments about Berroco Boboli:
Made a beautiful sweater and I am happy with the end result. The sweater does appear to have started to fuzz after one wash. Will have to buy a sweater shaver. Sweater is very warm and the changes in colours and textures made for an interesting pattern

Comments about Berroco Boboli:
I have gauged this yarn to 4 different patterns, and can't chose because it shows the stitches and drapes so well. I will need to decide before too long to finish for the fall season. I liked all the colorways equally well.

I am making the little shawl that is the free pattern. Knitting up VERY nicely. Can't wait to be wearing it! The colors are amazing, and it is knitting very nicely for me (I knit Continental). I would DEFINITELY use this again!

Comments about Berroco Boboli:
The colors are beautiful, but it colored my hands and needles (bamboo) when working with it. It also got very fuzzy and sheds quite a bit. I made a scarf with it and it is pretty soft, but I should have used some yarn with better drape as it seems stiff, even with size 9 needles and a gauge of 4 st/in.

Comments about Berroco Boboli:
Wow - this yarn is very soft and looks like it will have great drape. I just received my order so I haven't knit anything with it yet, but it feels and looks very luxurious.
