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.
While synthetics or synthetic blends are more economical, some people don't like the feel of something like acrylic. If you prefer to use what nature has provided, you'll love the range of all natural yarns. There are organic cottons, pure silk and warm woolly fibers like merino, alpaca and cashmere in a palette of beautiful colors.
Novelty yarns like those in variegated colors are fun to work with. You don't need intricate stitches to create striking garments because the yarn performs all the magic. For this reason, beginners may want to consider these options too. However, some types can be more difficult to work with and you'll need to have a higher level of skill so you won't end up with a tangled mess. For instance, furry fibers require patience but are fantastic for making soft toys while lurex fibers look best when knitted or crocheted with thin needles or hooks.
You won't find only yarns in the company's catalog. They also sell items such as crochet hooks, knitting needles, sock looms, flower looms, pompom makers and knitting dollies. Their product range even includes special crafts kits, accessories like eyes for dolls as well as needle cases and bags so you can neatly store your project when you're not working on it.
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.
