Very pretty colors.  Lots of yarn in this skein.

I absolutely love this yarn. From making scarfs to baby blankets Caron Cakes has a wide verity of colors, textures, and worsted weights. I can't get enough of this yarn.

The color it shows online is off. The yarn is a much darker shade of blue and green but the cacoon I made still came out beautiful. I was worried because I had this yarn color for years and ran out while making the project. I was hesitant to purchase more online due to the color difference in the photo but took a chance and it turned out the colors were exactly the same as they were several years ago so I am super happy with the purchase.

This yarn does not feel good on my fingers, makes it a struggle to knit

This striped yarn (we picked Buttercream) was chosen for an afghan because of its softness and neutral toned colors. For this review, keep in mind that it's the first time I've used this yarn, and I consider myself an advanced beginner at crochet. 

The future owner requested a more dense ("not a lot of holes, Mom") style, so I'm learning the alpine stitch with this yarn.  I've done a few rows so far and really like how it feels as I go and how the crocheted fabric is nice and heavy yet still squishy soft. I do have to be very intentional with pulling up the yarn during the post stitch pull-through for this stitch with this particular yarn. For me, it's worth it to get the textured look (see pics), and my plan is to only do a row every day or so in order to keep the hands happy. The single crochet rows and plain double crochets work up very easily though. 

So far I've only gotten to the 2nd color, and can say it's great having longer intervals that will keep it interesting for a larger project like an afghan. I haven't finished a cake yet, however the quality of the yarn used so far and what I can see to come is very good and consistent. 

The colors in the cake also complement each other very well. The two pictures are in two different lightings to show how the yarn takes up the light. Once I realized I like the yarn, I quickly ordered 8 more cakes online to add to the 4 already bought (big afghan, yarn hungry stitch). I was super happy to open the box to find that all 12 cakes are the same dye lot. Whew!

This yarn is checking all the boxes for us for this project! I recommend it highly for the use i described above.

The yarn is beautiful and I can't wait to start the project I bought it for (if only I could remember which project). However, the packaging was crushed and broken. The box was big enough to ship a full grown German Sheperd for 4 skeins of yarn. I'm amazed all four skeins made it to my door. Michael's needs to rethink how they package their shipments. Surely four skeins could have gone in a much smaller package.

Ordered on February 1 now it is February 14 still no Order!!!! Apparently they lost it!!!! Now they are out of stock on what I Ordered!!!! Canceled order now to check my bank to see if they charged me!!!
