Vintage, by Berroco
Let's just get this right out in the open: Vintage has acrylic in it! Berroco and Argyle both share the philosophy that there can be modern, soft, high quality acrylic-blend yarns that have nothing in common with the truly cheap discount nonsense that may first spring to mind. Berroco's acrylic/ wool blends are in a whole different league, and you really should at least give them a feel. At some point you have to ask: If it looks like a nice yarn, feels like a nice yarn, and knits like a nice yarn: Maybe it really is a nice yarn!
This machine wash blend features a wide color range and an incredibly soft feel. Its unique fiber blend makes laundering a breeze and perfectly suited for easy care garments for both children and adults. It's also available in a heavier weight, Vintage Chunky and a lighter weight, Vintage DK.

Now let's have a look at some full garments knit in Vintage in patterns from Berroco's own design team, beginnng with ladies' tops:
In the Retta, the classic fisherman’s sweater is updated with a feminine, cropped silhouette, but the beautiful traditional stitch textures remain the same.
The Fieldstone is a richly colored seamless pullover that features a whimsical embroidered yoke and sleeve trimming.
A t-shirt for colder days, Ballard has a shirttail hem and decorative chain stitches covering the front.
And the cozy Arcadia Poncho is worked in garter stitch in the round from the top down. An oversized cowl neck tops cable panels on the front and back.

One thing that Berroco's design team has always been really good about is providing a lot of good patterns both for men and for kids.
Lofty slipped stitch ribbing makes a surprisingly cushy fabric for this masculine zip-up hoodie, the Lakenvelder. This cardigan boasts a flattering saddle shoulder, pockets and a twisted rib collar. Big brother to Sebright.
Sure to be a favorite for years to come, the Artin long-sleeved pullover offers a stunning traditional stitch pattern in an easy, classic silhouette. Hard to believe, but if you look close you'll realize this is actually the male version of the Retta sweater pictured above!
A classic pullover worked in pieces from the bottom up, Ketch has set-in sleeves and a one-button shawl collar.
And Beagle is a classic gansey with easy to follow texture patterns that will entertain the knitter and add just enough interest for the wary sweater wearer.

While Pekin features a lace stitch, there is no shaping at all to worry about, a bit of gathering is all you need to whip up this comfortable toddlerʼs dress.
Brook, a whimsical poncho made from alternating stripes of easy Fair Isle stitching and stockinette, looks perfect paired with Redding, a set of coordinating wrist warmers.
The little brother of Lakenvelder, the zip-up hoodie Sebright has the same pockets and the same slipped stitch ribbing, but this version features stockinette sleeves that make it a quick knit.
And in Rosaria, knitted flowers are sprinkled across the front of a sweet long-sleeved cardigan with garter stitch detailing around the yoke.
