Let The Creative Juices Flow With Bergere De France Yarn

By Serena Price


Knitting and crocheting are making a comeback and are not seen as activities only for little old ladies anymore. These days everyone from Hollywood stars to fashion models are creating fun and funky clothes and accessories and even men are getting in on the act. All you need is a pair of knitting needles or a crochet hook, some luxurious Bergere de France yarn and your imagination.

The Bergere de France company is renowned for its quality materials. It offers an extensive range too. For example, if you want to make something light for spring or summer, something fine and lacy or something soft for a baby, try a finer yarn. These are available in a range of fibers, from synthetics to blends.

If you're only beginning to crochet or knit, may may want to start out with a thicker hook or needles. These require thick yarns and there are wonderfully chunky choices available. With these you will see progress very quickly and feel a sense of accomplishment. Chunky textures are best for winter garments and warm blankets or throws.

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.

With all the products available, it may be almost overwhelming to find inspiration and decide on what to make. Here Bergere de France comes to the rescue too with pattern books and magazines. You'll also find their designs and the instructions for making these on several craft websites, including the company's own site. Simply narrow down your search by using filters such as your level of skill, the type of project and the size needle or hook you want to use.

Bergere de France yarn is available at stores in several countries, including the USA and Canada. You can also order their products online. They ship to anywhere in the world, whether you live in Tokyo or Timbuktu.
