New Berroco – Ric Rac!

Ric Rac

From Berroco:

Ric Rac combines dazzling multicolored chevrons with a coordinating solid-colored base, and works up quickly into stunning ruffles. The soft wool blend is perfect for showing off the range of beautiful colorways, which include both subtle neutrals and bright jewel tones.

I will take home a sk. and knit it up. It is similar to Lacey, but even faster! Here is a demo video of the knitted version of the scarf. Stop by the shop and see it first hand! You can find a crochet version on their site here.
