Simply soft lives up to its name! It’s soft and can be used in just about any project.
Love the Speckle colors of this yarn, it's also soft and very nice to work with.
Great quality and fast shipping! Will be shopping this site again!
Super great quality and fast shipping. Will be shopping this site again!
I was trying to match an old yarn. This did the trick. Happy with it.
I love Vintage yarn. If you're looking for a solid color to go with it, Bone goes well. I recommend buying it whenever you see it. It usually sells out quickly.
Nice weight yarn.. color looks in person as it did on the website.. easy to crochet with
Soft and smooth, knits up so easily!
While the yarn I received is lovely, the Depends undergarment flyer was creepy and unnecessary. Not all crafters are seniors, and those who are may not appreciate the assumption that they need adult diapers. Stick to what you sell.
Splits...splits...and did I mention that it splits? Frustrating to work with and I won't be buying again.
I'm fairly new to crochet and have done mostly stuffies. I'm just finishing my first afghan and I absolutely love it. I just ordered a bunch more for my temperature blanket.
I like this color, I just really need you to get back rainbow colors like you lime, and your mango. There is no green, or orange that goes with the rainbow. And when your making a rainbow afghan it is super had without those colors. Thank God I found the lime and the mango but I still need more of them. I could use about 20 mango, and 20 limelight! I hope you bring them back or get colors close to them.Desperately Clifteen Forster [****].
P.S. I really hope your hearing me. Because Caron is the only yarn I use. I did find premeir yarn but have not made anything with it yet.
This yarn has a great soft texture, is very easy to work with with and a produced a beautiful result and texture.
This yarn turned into the most beautiful baby blanket ever! So easy, soft and special. I took up a suggestion to add ribbon around a that creates a great touch. Giving it at a baby shower.
I have made 7 sweaters now for a lady who loves this yarn. Both the gray and brown color.
It is soft, easy to work with, and has a wonderful feel in all the project that I have done so far.
I love Caron Simply Soft yarn. It’s so soft and easy to work with. The colors are beautiful and a huge variety.
I have made several baby shower blankets this past year or so. They have great color groupings of pale pink to fushia, mint to dark teal, and lavender to purple. Everyone has absolutely loved them. I love to give a handmade gift that will last for many, many years.
I bought this yarn in Vintage color to make a sweater, it’s turning out just beautiful as I had hoped! Perfect weight for this time of year.
I like using this yarn for making blankets. The yarn is very soft and makes for a comfortable blanket. Best is the yarn can we machine washed and dried.
So soft and a pleasure to work with. It’s my go-to for all my projects
First time using this yarn. Worked up well, easy access end and there was no tangling when reaching the end of the skein. I like the fact this is an accepted yarn for hospital nurseries, and is easy care for busy moms. Used it to make the Biddeford baby blanket as it offered the color ranges I wanted. Will use again for future projects.
