Be Creative 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.

Bergere de France is synonymous with quality. The company sells a huge range of yarns for different types of project. Their fine yarns, for instance, are great for lacy items, baby clothes or light garments for spring and summer. They come in a variety of fibers and colors too.

For winter clothes and warm blankets or strong bags, you need a chunky yarn that will give you a thick, heavy texture. To work with these yarns you also need a thick crochet hook or large knitting needles. The great thing about working with thicker materials is that your stitches are bigger and your garment is complete in no time. They're also easy to work with so beginners can practice their skills and feel a real sense of progress and accomplishment.

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.

No matter where in the world you are, you'll be able to find Bergere de France yarn. Simply order what you need online and they'll deliver to you. Countries like the USA as well as Canada also have stores in several cities where you can look at the yarns, feel the textures and find inspiration.
