Berroco Vintage DK Yarn - 2165 Wasabi (Discontinued) Reviews

This is a nice yarn, feels soft and smooth, nice for making cowls or other items that are worn next to the sensitive skin. Do watch out for the splitting honwever. If you don't have to take out any stitches, it will still knit up fine.

I love Vintage and Vintage DK is just as amazing. It is a low cost and high quality. I am in the process of knitting socks with the DK and they are working up beautifully. Love the selection from JB too!

I bought 7 colors of this yarn to make 2 scarves and am quite happy with the colors except #2104. It reminds me strongly of string! And yes, it does split a lot. I am using Knitters Pride circulars. If you split the yarn, it blends okay but if you need to tear it out and reknit because of an error, the split area becomes fuzzy. If you can avoid the splitting, I think you will be very happy with this yarn. My scarf is super soft and not scratchy. The other colors are very vibrant. I am knitting a scarf with circular stripes, 4 colors per scarf, and I think I can get 2 scarves out of the four colors. If I hadn't already wound #2104 I'd return it to Jimmy. Now I think I will use it as string!

I find this yarn to be splitting a lot and quite fuzzy as I knit with it. I'm not sure if I would buy again.

LOVE Berroco yarn it's a go to yarn for me!

While I have not yet started the project for which I purchased this yarn, the colors are great and it feels good. I am sure it will work up into a lovely item.

I have knitted with Berroco Vintage before, nice yarn. So I had no hesitation about ordering Vintage DK. A different size only, right? Wrong. It feels soft in the skein, I began to wonder tho as I wound it into a ball. Then I started my project. To my dismay, the knitted yarn reminded me strongly of the old fashioned cotton string that we used to tie our packages to send them in the US Mail! Not happy. Now I am shy of even Vintage. Too bad, they have such lovely colors!

I used this yarn for the first time because it was the yarn used in a boy's sweater pattern - my first - and not only did I like how it looked but I trusted that it would be durable and easy care. The hanks are squishy and soft, which is a great start. The yarn does not split, even with using a G hook and crocheting back loops only for the entire sweater. No pilling so far. I was working fast on this sweater to meet a Christmas deadline, and my fingers weren't chafed or rubbed by the yarn despite working with it for 60 hours in 10 days. The yarn has kept its nice spring and texture after crocheting, with excellent stitch definition. Frogging was no trouble either. I used the color oats, and I'm pleased with the subtle heathering in the color. I'm so pleased with this blend my favorite by far that I'm considering using this one for another sweater instead of the yarn used in the pattern.
