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

Love his yarn, colorful and soft.

This is my favorite brand of yarn. Very soft and easy to work with.

I can't find this color locally, so I was delighted to be able to buy it; came on time, just perfect for my knitting; thanks!

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.

Just what described. Knits up fine.

Caron yarn always works flawlessly on my Addi. It’s soft and isn’t scratchy. The colors last and it is always loved by the people I gift projects to. Reliably used in my Addi without skipping stitches.

Amazing yarn. Works well washes up to a soft nap. I use it for everything

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

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

Excellent value for money! The colour is fab! So easy to crochet with. Will definitely be using this brand more often from now on!

Suave y fácil tejido.. es mi marca favorita de siempre para tejer prendas

Great value and good quality for money. Caron simply soft is almost impossible to get here in Ireland and better quality than the stylecraft special aran. Washes really well too with little to no piling. I will be purchasing more.
