Berroco Chai

Berroco Chai Knitting Pattern Collection

Yarn Composition and Characteristics

Berroco Chai is a DK weight yarn composed of 56% Linen and 44% Silk, offering 142 yards per 50 gram ball. The yarn features light and dark strands blended together to create a distinctive stonewashed appearance. The fabric produced has a slight sheen and benefits from the linen content, which provides excellent summery drape and breathability—ideal for warm-weather garments.

Care Instructions

Berroco Chai projects should be hand washed in cold water and laid flat to dry to maintain the yarn's integrity and appearance.
