About Bernat
Bernat boasts a rich heritage dating back to the early 1900s, when Emile Bernat, a Hungarian-born dye chemist, began restoring tapestries in Boston. In 1927, his family business was formally incorporated as the Bernat Superior Looms Company, specializing in “master-dyed” yarns and even producing weaving looms.
By 1962, Bernat moved operations to Uxbridge, Massachusetts, turning its name into a household one through its vibrant yarns and pattern publications. At its peak, the Uxbridge mill was the third-largest in the U.S., offering a wide array of dyed yarns for knitting and crochet enthusiasts.
Today, the brand lives on under the Yarnspirations umbrella (part of Spinrite LP), offering a vast selection of premium yarns — from ultra-soft chenille baby-blanket yarn to durable acrylics perfect for home décor. Yarnspirations emphasizes safety certifications (like OEKO‑TEX) and a commitment to sustainability.
Bernat yarns are known for their exceptional softness, wide color palettes, and user-friendly textures. Popular lines include Baby Blanket, Velvet, Softee Chunky, and Maker Home Dec, catering to all kinds of projects, from cozy blankets to trendy apparel.
The brand remains a go-to among knitters and crocheters thanks to its reliable stitch definition, color consistency, and durability. With strong presence at retailers like Michaels, Walmart, Herrschners, and its own online store, Bernat continues to inspire creativity across generations.

My students always ask: “What’s a good beginner yarn?” and I always say, “Start with Bernat.” It’s soft, forgiving, and the bulky texture helps build confidence fast. From crochet club projects to big group blankets, Bernat never lets us down. The Baby Blanket yarn is especially popular — everyone loves the cuddly feel and easy stitching. Even seasoned crafters in my group keep reaching for it. Plus, it holds up wash after wash, which is perfect for gifts. Honestly, Bernat makes the craft more approachable and a lot more fun. It’s like having a yarn that wants you to succeed.
