Joy to work with
I saw the colorway Fruit Cocktail and was drawn to it. The yarn was a joy to work with. It was soft, smooth, and easy to work with. No stickiness at all. It's fine for me. I haven't blocked it yet.

I'm using it for pairing with fingering wool for durability. The swatched piece resulted in the stitch count I was looking for. The colors blended well and the texture came out nice to the touch. Yes, my first time using this technique.
I'm not making socks, but as I'm allergic to wool, this yarn is perfect for my preference for knitting with thin yarn and skinny needles. I enjoy making baby dresses for girls and baby sweaters for boys as presents for newborns. I'm told the clothing wears well. Baby girl parents have communicated that the dresses become tops as their little girl grows. I don’t have any photos on hand, but I have a baby boy sweater in process.
I did not make socks with this yarn. I use it for making stocking hats for CA pts. and children. This yarn blended perfectly with other yarn to make lovely patterns on the hats. I usually picked a main color from one of the colors in the Comfort yarn that either accented the yarns or blended with them. I'm sorry. I have given away all the hats I made with the Berroco yarn. The recipients seemed very pleased with them, and they keep your head warm when you have no hair.
I used this yarn with another lite weight yarn for interesting crocheted baby hats. I thought the look and additional weight of a second yarn would make a cute hat, and it does!
I have a hard time finding sock yarn that’s not wool. I like the colors and it is fun to work with. It’s an affordable option for people who can’t use wool, and I’m always happy with the finished product. I have not used these yet, but I’m looking forward to it. I’ve used this yarn and probably some of these same colors before tho.
It knits up beautifully and is soft. I'm using it for socks. I've made many pairs in the past, and I’m still working on this pair.
This is nice yarn to knit with. It makes comfortable socks to wear, and they wash well. I have lost track of how many pairs I have made. Probably close to 12 at this point.
Better than I expected. If my first pair holds up well, I get more.
I use a size 0 needle to knit the socks with this yarn. Everyone who gets a pair of these socks love them. The socks wash and are dryer friendly; easy care.
