#448 Berroco Bozzolo
Our Bozzolo collection is colorful and dreamy and compels us to be playful and fun. Moving between solids and multis, textures and simple silhouettes, we designed six pieces that give us permission to lean into color. Feathery soft and offered in a beautiful range of multis and solids, Bozzolo is a 100% cotton yarn from Italy. Smooth with a hint of shine, Bozzolo has the delightful feel you expect from cotton, while its construction gives it an airy lightness.
