Looking for a versatile, machine-washable yarn for any project? Take a look at the Berroco Comfort® family!
Comfort is that rare yarn that can do a wide variety of things—show off stitch patterns like crazy, go in the washing machine and dryer, comes in a million colors. At 50% nylon and 50% acrylic, it's a great, affordable choice for anyone who is not a fan of wool and likes extremely easy-care projects. (PS—all the patterns shown here are absolutely free to download!)
First and foremost, Comfort is ideal for baby projects. Our Orangelo Bib works up quickly in Berroco Comfort® Chunky, and can be washed easily after baby is done eating. The Sideways Cardigan shows how Berroco Comfort® DK, in either the Solids & Heathers colors or Print colors, makes a great lightweight crochet cardi for toddlers.

And naturally, hard-wearing but easy-care yarn is perfect for home decor items. We especially love all weights of Berroco Comfort for blankets, both knit and crocheted.

Our new free pattern for this week is Schuyler, a cable blanket that's knit with Berroco Comfort. The twisted stitches and wide cables show off Comfort's incredible stitch definition. The pattern repeat is easy to memorize and read once you get going, and soon, you'll be wearing a blanket while you're still knitting it!
