Caron Simply Soft Party Yarn, 3 oz, Medium Worsted 4 Gauge, - Fuchsia - For Crochet, Knitting & Crafting

This super soft yarn was an absolute dream to work with! I used it to crochet a jellyfish as a gift, and it turned out adorable. The texture is incredibly plush and gentle to the touch—perfect for a cuddly, handmade toy. The colors were vibrant, and the yarn held its shape beautifully. It made the finished gift feel extra special and cozy! Why did you pick this product vs others?: Amazing color Ease of use: extremely easy Size: Thin but soft

Overall, beautiful yarn! The color Ocean is a gorgeous, deep blue/teal. The yarn has a lustrous quality that brightens and adds depth to your work. I’m crocheting a US DC hexagon cardigan with the recommended H/8- 5.00mm hook. Just FYI- The yarn can get a little splitty when making looser stitches. Going up much higher than the recommended hook size may prove more difficult because of this. So far it hasn’t been much of an issue! I included two pictures, the one showing mid row work you can see how the yarn is wanting to split a bit. But once pulled all together you can’t tell! I will definitely buy this yarn again. Happy creating everyone!

Simply soft is my favorite yarn for crocheting. It is truly soft and glides smoothly through my crochet hook. This was a great price too. Win! Win!

Pretty color for crochet or knitting.

Caron Simply Soft (CSS) in Grape colorway is a nice bright yarn that pairs brilliantly with the Iris colorway, which is a very bright darker purple. They provide very good light/dark contrast for each other and work well with White as a complementary neutral. CSS is thinner than worsted but thicker than sport weight yarn. For knitting it is absolutely delightful, but for crochet it takes some finesse. The yarn has no elasticity at all, so I find that I have to use multiple hook sizes depending on the stitch I am making - sometimes two hooks in a single stitch - to maintain consistent tension appearance and avoid large holes at the tops of stitches. The direction of the twist is ideal for knitting, so the 4 strands frequently untwist as I am crocheting and I have to take care not to split them or accidentally catch my hook on just 1. It can get properly tangled, but it's easy to untangle because it has a very "slippy" kind of texture; a quality which requires that every stitch be worked through at least two loops to avoid the final fabric developing huge holes and tight knots at the top of your stitches, so I have adjusted my procedure for when a pattern calls for FLO or BLO. Your finished fabric will feel nice almost no matter what you do with it, but you will need to adjust your hook size if you are making stitches with largely varying sizes becausd you cannot adjust enough just by holding the yarn tighter (trust me on this one, save your hands the pain.) Overall I still really like CSS, and have none of these problems at all when knitting with it, but I just don't recommend it for absolute beginner crocheters. It can definitely be problematic to work with if you are not prepared to face the challenges it presents. 10/10 drape quality for this stuff though. Imitates silk blend yarns I have used pretty well.

Great yarn as well as nice and soft. Just be sure to ask for packaging that hides what this is. If not it will end up in a clear bag which shows any thief what is in the package!

This is a nice yarn.

love this yarn. so soft and easy to crochet with.

Caron cake simply soft ist generell super zum Häkeln. Sehr angenehm weiche Wolle. Habe sie schon für viele Projekte genutzt. Versand war ohne Probleme.

Nice colour. Great pricing.

Laine très douce et agréable à crocheter.

I am crocheting a blanket with this yarn, I HAVEN'T found 1 knot in any of the 3 balls which is great for me. In fact I haven't had any at all in any the caron simply soft. It washes well & is great for winter crochet projects & clothing

Every single Caron skein I have bought has been a dream in terms of finding the center pull. Honestly, I will pay a bit more if there is a choice between Caron and other brands just for that. This yarn is lovely to work with as well ... soft and smooth and great colour. Colour is pretty much exactly as shown (which is uncommon for yarns). The only slight negative is that it is a bit heavier than other acrylic yarns once a project is finished (crochet, not sure if that holds for knitted work as well). For blankets, for example, it results in a rather heavy blanket ... which could be good or bad, depending on your goals. It does get a bit fuzzy rather quickly as well ... for me, that's nice because I like the similarly to natural fibers in terms of the fuzzier look (wools), but it may be a detriment to some projects. All in all, I will always recommend this yarn. It's great and is actually pretty reasonably priced compared to some (insane) brands on Amazon ... and the skeins aren't a quarter of the normal size like some other brands.
