Be Creative With Bergere De France Yarn

By Serena Price


Crocheting and knitting have stopped being the domain of dowdy women with nothing better to do. Nowadays you'll see runway models knitting backstage and Hollywood stars crocheting in between takes on the set of their latest movie. Even men are taking up knitting needles and crochet hooks and getting creative. To join in he trend, get some Bergere de France yarn and let your imagination run wild.

Bergere de France has been producing quality yarns for decades. The company offers a wide range to choose from. For example, they have lovely, soft and fine yarns that are perfect for baby items, light summer garments and lacy stitches.

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.

Many people don't like synthetics and prefer their yarn to be all natural. Bergere de France offers a large range made only of Mother Nature's bounty. Merino and alpaca wools are wonderfully warm but may feel a little scratchy. If you want something softer, try a cashmere and wool blend. Cotton is cool and perfect for summer clothes and if you want sheer luxury, try pure silk.

If you're only beginning to knit or crochet, you may want to try one of the simple novelty yarns with variegated coloring. These work best with simple, straight-forward stitches yet give a richly textured effect. More skilled craftspeople may want to try some of the other novelty yarns available, such as those giving a lurex effect or those with a fluffy texture to create faux fur, perfect for teddy bears and other toys.

A great thing about Bergere de France is that they don't only supply yarn. You can get everything, from crochet hooks and knitting needles to eyes for soft toys from them. They even supply tools like flower or sock looms, knitting dollies, pompom makers and special kits for specific projects. To keep all your supplies organized, get a bag and some needle cases too. In this way you can work on your project anywhere, anytime.

Even when it comes to finding inspiration, the company has the answer. They continuously create new designs and their patterns are available on their website. Use search filters like the size hook or needle you're planning on using, the type of garment or other item you want to make and your level of skill to narrow down the search. Another option is to page through their publications such as their magazines and pattern books.

Many stores in countries like Canada and the USA sell Bergere de France yarn and other products. However, this doesn't mean that if you live in another country you can't experience the joys of working with these quality products. The company delivers anywhere in the world if you order online, so that next craft project is only a click away.
