Price List – May 16th, 2005.
Foliage™ is a woolly
roving, spun loosely of fiber dyed color striations that
create novel color effect. 12 unique color combinations
inspire creativity for knitting and crocheting for men,
women and children. Choose from colors based on New England's
peak foliage harmonies, sophisticated menswear tweeds,
brilliant optical brights or sweet baby mixes.

|
Vibe™ is a quick knit yarn. It is composed
of a thick and thin, pure wool roving in brilliant modern
solid color that runs parallel and randomly interlaces
with a strand of black Suede. This chunky, feltable yarn
is very 21st century modern, available in 7 colors that
grab your attention from clear across the room. |
|
Air™ is our woolly blend, big needle
yarn that is as soft and light as its
namesake. In 6 striped space dyed shades,
the color shifts rhythmically and creates a striped
pattern that is very “soft
focus.” |
Runway™ is
a couture novelty yarn that's practically "ready to
wear." This fantasy scarf yarn has random flags of
leather-like gold or silver appearing
among space dyed paper flags and pigtail strands, mixing
color and texture to the max. It's available in 5 shades.
Use on its own or trim with it.
|
|
Suede™ Tri-Color is a
close cousin of our popular Suede yarn, with a clever twist
on space dye. Inspired by the tie-dyed look of the 60's,
3 colors appear and gradually overlap, creating an ikat
and ombre effect. Knit it or crochet it for a hipper than
hippie accessory. |
|
Softwist™ Colors is a
variegated version of our classic, basic Softwist. |

Drive Sales In Your Shop using Berroco’s
Patterns:
We have an extensive area of our website called Pattern
Library which lists
both our published “Preview Patterns” as well as “Free
Patterns” & “Web Exclusive Patterns.” Here
are a few tips on how to drive sales in your shop by using
these areas of the website.
Preview Patterns
• Encourage customers to “take a tour” of all
Berroco patterns from the comfort of their home computers.
• Once they find a pattern of their choice, they can easily “click” for
yarn amounts, specific colors and quantities
used.
• Even if you do not carry their chosen yarn, you can always
place a special order with Berroco and expand
your sales.
Free Patterns
• Encourage customers to print their own personal copies of
these free patterns from their home. Yes,
unlike our published patterns, our free patterns may be printed and copied freely.
• Or go one step further by printing complementary copies
yourself and then placing copies next to
your Berroco yarn stocks.
• Give the pattern away free with the purchase of the yarn.
Web Exclusives
• And just like the Free Pattern section above, Web Exclusive
patterns may be printed and copied freely.
• Or go one step further by printing complementary copies
yourself and then placing copies next to
your Berroco yarn stocks.
• Give the pattern away free with the purchase of the yarn.
Email
us your comments and ideas on what you would like to see in future issues. We firmly believe in good communication between retailer and wholesaler and hope that Insider will help achieve this goal.
As always, thank you for your support.
