Berroco Wizard is a super soft, light & happy bulky weight yarn. It stripes by itself, with bold colors flowing. It has a chainette construction which makes it feel deliciously airy and weightless. The consruction is also respinsible for it's very generous 240m yardage - the same amount of a typical bulky weight yarn would normally be about 100m to 125m. Wizard is also machine washable, so it's great for all kinds of projects including blankets, sweaters, hats, scarves, mitts - even a cozy pair of -slipper-socks! 1 ball should be enough to make 2 beanies (without pom-poms), or 1 beanie and 1 pair of mittens.

What's a 'Chainette' Yarn?

A chainette yarn is a yarn that is created by knitting a tube from a fine strand of yarn. This makes the yarn extremely light and fluffy. The chainette construction has several benefits:

  • Chainettes are extremely light, yet at the same time warm, because they hold a lot of air (which is actually an insulator). 
  • Chainettes don't split when you're working with them.
  • Because they are so light, chainettes typically have longer yardage than other yarns of the same thickness. 
  • Chainettes tend to have a bit more elasticity and give, because they are already knitted. 
  • You can play around with needle size and tension because the yarn can be squished down or allowed to bloom.
  • Because they are already knitted, chainettes tend to have a little bit of texture built-in.
