now I know 4 out of 5 stars (4 out of 5)
I love Berroco yarn but now I understand why people say this yarn is splitty. For knitting, I love this yarn. No issues with splits. But for crocheting, the yarn splits like mad. Will only use for knitting projects from now on.

Watch out fir splits 4 out of 5 stars (4 out of 5)
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.

Love this yarn 5 out of 5 stars (5 out of 5)
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!

Splits 4 out of 5 stars (4 out of 5)
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!

Not my type of yarn 2 out of 5 stars (2 out of 5)
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.

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.

Not Soft As Expected 2 out of 5 stars (2 out of 5)
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!
