What happens when you blend cotton and cashmere? You get an incredibly soft yarn for summer!
Last year, we introduced Berroco Corsica®, a blend of 90% cotton and 10% cashmere in a high-twist DK-weight yarn. At the same time, we released six patterns in Booklet 370 Berroco Corsica, featuring 3 knitting patterns and 3 crochet patterns for this gorgeous yarn.
Corsica is back again this year with three new shades and a new pattern collection! Keep reading for more information on each of the new patterns.
