Berroco Vintage is a worsted-weight blend of 52% acrylic, 40% wool and 8% nylon, sold in 100 g hanks of 218 yds. The acrylic and nylon share makes it machine washable, so you get wool's warmth without hand-washing. It knits at 18–20 stitches to 4 in on US 7–8 needles, and crocheters get 15–16 single crochet on an H–I hook. Makers rate it highly for softness, even stitches and no splitting, which makes it a practical pick for hats, scarves, shawls and kids' wear; the trade-off against pure wool is less warmth and stitch definition, and against cheap all-acrylic it costs more but wears and washes better.
