SCRAPBOOKING

Knitting is an ancient craft with a long and well-documented history. Queen Elizabeth I is known to have worn knitted stockings and there are many items on display in museums worked in fine yarns with an almost unbelievable intricacy. Nowadays knitting is a more practical craft, geared to today’s busier lifestyles. This does not mean however that the craft has lost any of its fascination, and there is tremendous satisfaction to be obtained from the successful completion of a knitted project! Crochet is a fundamentally different technique from knitting - stitches are created using a single hook instead of a pair of needles and the fabric does not have to be ‘cast off’ at the end. Generally speaking the material that is made is thicker than fabric knitted from the same yarn, but once you are experienced and confident the work ‘grows’ much more quickly than knitting does. Crochet is a fascinating craft and well worth the time taken in learning.

Bergere de France was founded in 1946 and is one of Europe’s largest spinning mills. Bergere de France guarantees yarn of the best possible quality as the entire manufacture is controlled by them. The whole process from creation of patterns to despatch of parcels is under one roof, helping to control quality whilst keeping costs low.

Bergere de France initially started translating patterns for the English market early in 2005. There has been a very positive response as the stylish patterns and high quality of the yarns are outstanding. .

With a fantastic range of patterns for Ladies, Men, Babies & Children there is something for everyone and every occasion. Yarns include 100% wools, 100% cottons (including some organic), mohair and fashion yarns ranging in size from mega chunky to the thinnest of cottons.
