Berroco Mercado
Berroco Mercado is an aran weight 100% Peruvian highland wool yarn spun into a 2-ply yarn that works up quickly with warmth and classy character. Sourced from sheep grazing in Peru's high-altitude pastures where cool temperatures produce dense, insulating fleeces, the 2-ply structure creates a yarn with beautiful stitch definition that makes cables pop. Berroco Mercado's aran gauge means your projects grow fast, perfect for quick-knit pullovers like Felix on Ravelry (a cropped raglan with eyelet details that layers beautifully over tunics and dresses), cozy cowls, textured hats, generous scarves, and weekend sweaters. Mercado has a satisfying soft, woolly hand that's wonderful for knitters who want projects done quickly but won't compromise on quality or comfort.
