Be Creative With Bergere De France Yarn

By Serena Price


Once upon a time, it was only grannies who knitted and crocheted. These crafts were for women as dowdy as the items they made. However, with stunning materials like Bergere de France yarn, younger women and even men have climbed onto the bandwagon and are making unique items that are as stylish as they are creative.

Bergere de France is synonymous with quality. The company sells a huge range of yarns for different types of project. Their fine yarns, for instance, are great for lacy items, baby clothes or light garments for spring and summer. They come in a variety of fibers and colors too.

Chunkier yarns are perfect for creating warm and thick winter garments like sweaters, scarves and hats. They also work perfectly for bags and throws or blankets. You need thick needles or hooks to work with these, which means that they're wonderful for beginners and for those who want to see fast progress on their projects.

While synthetics or synthetic blends are more economical, some people don't like the feel of something like acrylic. If you prefer to use what nature has provided, you'll love the range of all natural yarns. There are organic cottons, pure silk and warm woolly fibers like merino, alpaca and cashmere in a palette of beautiful colors.

Novelty yarns like those in variegated colors are fun to work with. You don't need intricate stitches to create striking garments because the yarn performs all the magic. For this reason, beginners may want to consider these options too. However, some types can be more difficult to work with and you'll need to have a higher level of skill so you won't end up with a tangled mess. For instance, furry fibers require patience but are fantastic for making soft toys while lurex fibers look best when knitted or crocheted with thin needles or hooks.

You won't find only yarns in the company's catalog. They also sell items such as crochet hooks, knitting needles, sock looms, flower looms, pompom makers and knitting dollies. Their product range even includes special crafts kits, accessories like eyes for dolls as well as needle cases and bags so you can neatly store your project when you're not working on it.

One of the hardest things about buying yarn is deciding what to do with it. Luckily the company publishes magazines and pattern books with the instructions for a wide range of projects you might want to tackle. Another option is to visit their website, specify the type of project you want to try and whether you want something easy or a more advanced pattern and then browse through the designs that are available.

No matter where in the world you are, you'll be able to find Bergere de France yarn. Simply order what you need online and they'll deliver to you. Countries like the USA as well as Canada also have stores in several cities where you can look at the yarns, feel the textures and find inspiration.
