Hello Berroco Fan!
As you may know, Berroco has partnered with a few select companies around the world to bring quality yarns to North America. One of our closest partners is Amano Yarns, maker of luxurious alpaca, alpaca-blend, and vicuña yarns that are inspired by the Andes Mountains.
This season, our friends at Amano have delivered a gorgeous new pattern book along with new yarns! Here's a note from the team at Amano:

OUR NEW PATTERN BOOK AND COLLECTION
Each year, we adore putting together patterns for knits that inspire, created by selected designers from all over the world, and showcasing the beauty of Peruvian fibres all in one tangible place.
Amano’s Volume 4 Pattern Book was developed around a love for craft, nature and the gift of giving. Amano is based in the generosity of nature, and the cosiness of curling up with a good book, cup of tea, and your latest knitting project. We have new yarn and beautiful new designs to see you through the winter months.

Set in a retro Andean home, this photoshoot was shot to encapsulate the home and hearth of Andean care and luxury. Think stylish Peruvian details, with a knitting journey that takes you through colour, stitch work and a lot of charm.
Whether you are an accessory addict, sweater maker, or a luxury spender—this collection will speak to you. Sustainability lies at the core of our Paco Marca project, an alpaca farm built out of the need for transparency and innovative new farming methods in the alpaca industry. Eco Puna Black, Eco Puna, and Apu are all sourced with care from this project.

Yana is the newest addition to the family. It is the only Peruvian highland wool which boasts 21.5 micron softness. Yana is also available at a super chunky weight (Yana XL), for those wanting to walk on the wild side.
