Fiora, by Berroco
With the stitch definition of cotton, the drape of viscose, the bounce of wool and the shimmer of alpaca, Fiora is an artisanal blend of the finest fibers.
With so much diversity in the fiber content, it's a pleasant surprise to find out that Fiora can go in the washing machine.
Do you like the stitch definition and breathability of cotton, but don't like that it doesn't have much give when you're working with it? Fiora's 10% nylon content makes it bouncy and easy on the hands.
Fiora's DK weight and unique blend make this versatile yarn appropriate not only for spring, but also for those in-between days throughout the year.
Kate just today finished up the one-skein hat shown here at Argyle in the color "Ray."
The free pattern, "Lupaus," is a good one for a beginner. A basic hat with a little bit of slouch and an easy but appealing section of lace.
Now let's have a look at some full garments knit in Fiora in patterns from Berroco's own design team:
From left to right:
A versatile knitted dress, Emmeline features a gradient lace motif from the knee to the hem.
The Lantana cardi is inspired by embroidered silk jackets worn by Georgia O'Keefe. This cardigan has floral lace worked in the front and on the sleeves.
Glascow is a play on proportion, this cropped pullover features a fetching braided cable on the front, back and long sleeves.
Featuring lace detail inspired by Fair Isle motifs, Louise is a feminine take on the boyfriend sweater.

At first glance, Ascona may look like a simple scarf, but shifting stitch patterns and an unusual shape elevate this accessory.
Beginning with a picot cast-on, the "Jane" shawl is worked in two halves and joined in the center to form one long lace rectangle.
Lydia is a darling pair of socks knit in a floral lace motif from the top down.
