What is Berroco Vera best for?

Vera is lovely for lightweight garments, shawls, and layering pieces where drape and stitch clarity matter. Its tape construction creates a fabric with beautiful movement, whether you knit or crochet with it. Browse more in our Berroco collection.

How much yarn do I need for a project?

Each skein holds 218 yards. A shawl or layering top typically uses 3 to 4 skeins, while a lightweight cardigan may call for 6 to 8 depending on size, so we are glad to help you plan for your pattern.

What fiber is it, and where does it come from?

It is 80% organic cotton and 20% viscose from the aloe vera plant, a plant based fiber chosen for its cool, smooth feel. You will find more in our cotton yarn and 100% cotton collections.

How do I care for it?

Hand wash cold and lay flat to dry, gentle care that protects the tape construction and keeps the drape soft.

Is Berroco Vera really made with aloe vera?

Yes, the viscose portion is derived from the aloe vera plant, giving the yarn its naturally cool, moisture-wicking feel alongside the organic cotton, rather than a literal gel or lotion added to the fiber.
