We feel like Berroco's Hearthside is named accurately! It's so warm and snuggly that it'll make you feel like you're sitting by a fire even in the coldest weather. It's alpaca, wool, and cotton fiber content means Hearthside is extra warm, dense, and super soft. The chainette ply makes the yarn extra sturdy and reduces the risk of breakage or fraying! We think Hearthside is perfect for scarves and hats, but will make any project extra plush! If you like Hearthside, check out it's more colorful sister yarn, Emberstone!
