Rich, rustic, and full of character — Berroco Mercado is a 100% Peruvian Highland wool yarn that combines warmth, structure, and incredible texture. This aran-weight yarn features a classic two-ply twist that highlights cables and colorwork beautifully while maintaining a soft, woolly hand.
Perfect for cozy sweaters, hats, and accessories, Mercado knits up quickly with excellent stitch definition and natural loft. The palette of earthy, heathered shades evokes the warmth of handmade tradition — ideal for garments that feel as good as they look.
Why we love it: A sturdy yet soft wool that’s built for everyday wear — timeless, warm, and satisfying to knit.
