Permin Berta

Permin Berta is a classic base yarn in a soft and versatile blend of 55% wool and 45% cotton. The yarn has a length of approx 175 metres per 50 g and produces a beautiful, even stitch definition that highlights texture and pattern knitting particularly well.

Usage
The yarn is suitable for everything from jumpers and cardigans to babywear and accessories. Its lightweight nature and soft feel make it ideal for both summer and year‑round garments – for ladies, gents and children alike.

Product benefits

• Wool and cotton blend: Offers warmth and breathability in one – perfect for garments worn all year
• OEKO‑TEX® certified: Free from harmful chemicals – a good choice for sensitive skin and children’s projects
• Matching colour range: Shares colours with Permin’s Esther and Ellen – makes changing yarn quality without colour compromise easy

Tips for use
Berta works well in both plain and textured knitting where the even stitch definition really stands out. Try it for airy summer tops, cosy children’s jumpers or multi‑colour projects with clear contrasts. Remember to make a tension square and wash it before measuring so you understand how the yarn behaves. Once your project is complete, gentle washing and flat drying is recommended to preserve shape.

Why choose this yarn?
With Berta you get a durable and comfortable yarn that combines the natural warmth of wool with the lightness of cotton. Its versatile composition and broad colour palette make it a reliable choice for both beginners and experienced knitters.
