More from Berroco
Berroco is one of the oldest yarn companies in New England, and Ultra Alpaca is the line that made its reputation: half alpaca, half wool, at worsted weight, with a heathered palette that suits cables and colourwork alike. Ultra Alpaca Natural is the undyed edition. Around it we carry Remix Light, a recycled-fibre DK; Aerial, a mohair-silk laceweight for holding double; Mercado, a plain Peruvian highland wool; and the chunky superwash merino Wizard.
