Bernat Symphony bulky roving yarn, Sea Spray 2-pack — 80% acrylic/20% wool, machine washable

Bernat Symphony is a lightly brushed, bulky roving yarn in Sea Spray sold as a convenient 2-pack—perfect for fast, textured knitting and crochet projects.

Bernat Symphony combines a soft acrylic-wool blend with subtle phased colours to give projects a tactile, contemporary look without long work time. Offered in the same bulky gauge as Bernat Velvet and Bernat Freesia, each 225 g (7.9 oz) ball measures 282 m (309 yd) so you can plan yardage for blankets, pillows and garments with confidence. The yarn is machine washable and dryable, making finished items easy to care for.

How does Bernat Symphony’s fibre content affect feel and performance?

Symphony blends 80% acrylic with 20% wool to balance softness, loft and structure. The wool adds a gentle halo and warmth, while the acrylic increases durability and easy care for everyday use.

• 80% acrylic, 20% wool for a brushed roving surface and lightweight warmth.
• Bulky #5 gauge for quick stitch coverage and visible texture.
• Machine wash and dry friendly for low-maintenance finished projects.

What are the practical sizing and gauge details I need to plan my project?

Each ball contains 225 g (7.9 oz) and 282 m (309 yd), giving ample yardage per skein for large statement pieces or multiple smaller accessories. Use the recommended hook and needle sizes to match the stated gauge for accurate sizing.

• Ball size: 225 g (7.9 oz); length: 282 m (309 yd) per ball.
• Gauge (crochet): 11 sc x 12 rows = 4" with 6.5 mm hook.
• Gauge (knitting): 13 sts x 18 rows = 4" with 6.5 mm needles.

How will Sea Spray’s phasing colours and brushed texture look in finished work?

Sea Spray shows soft shifts in tone rather than stark striping, creating a painterly, modern gradient across stitches. The lightly brushed surface highlights stitch definition while keeping edges soft and cosy.

• Phased tonal colour for subtle, contemporary gradients.
• Light halo enhances texture in cables, bobbles and simple stitches.
• Bulky weight emphasizes colour movement and stitches with fewer rows.

Can Bernat Symphony be used with other Bernat bulky yarns and how does that change projects?

Yes—Symphony shares gauge compatibility with Bernat Velvet and Bernat Freesia, allowing you to mix textures within the same pattern to create contrast without adjusting stitch counts. Combining velvet’s smooth sheen, freesia’s texture and symphony’s brushed phase creates layered tactile interest.

• Same bulky gauge simplifies mixed-yarn patterns and striping ideas.
• Mix textures for pillows, afghans, and scarves with consistent sizing.
• Use Symphony to add a brushed, tonal accent to otherwise uniform yarns.

Who is this for? Bernat Symphony in Sea Spray is ideal for knitters and crocheters who want fast results with designer-style colour shifts and soft texture. It suits makers creating home décor—like throws and pillows—quick garments, and statement accessories that need bulk and visual interest. Beginners will appreciate the quick coverage of bulky yarn, while experienced crafters can exploit the phased colours and brushed finish for textured techniques.
