    5.0 out of 5 stars I love it. One of my favorite yarns.

    I love this yarn! It is so soft & feels so luxurious. It drapes beautifully & I bought more to play with. Unfortunately I moved and could not find the yarn I previously purchased to finish these(tho I just did unpack it now that I’ve moved lol) so my dye lots do not match. I used 2 skeins of yarn with a 3dc, 3sc pattern and a sc border. It’s 86”x22” or thereabouts. I’ll be making a hat too. If you can get a nice slick hook it works up fast & beautifully. I bought set of Pioneer Woman hooks on clearance at Wally World that was in between sizes apparently so this was worked with a 5.25mm hook instead of the 5.00mm hook the yarn advises to use. I’m allergic to the sun so I like to wear light shawls in spring & summer and in winter bc of its size I can wrap it around my neck multiple x and it still works. The only issues I’ve had with it is using the invisible knot or magic knot bc it came undone. Luckily I saw it while doing my border & I tied another knot-several x so it looks a bit goofy in that one section rn, but idc. I love it. It feels great. And I don’t care if other ppl wanna look for my mistakes. It’s functional. It’s beautiful. It’s got an ok price point. I just wish they would sell it in 1 pound skeins bc I’d use it to make just about everything. I used some to make a granny square too. It just feels so nice in ur hands while working with it and it feels lovely on ur skin. I bought more in more colors. Hoping to make a ripple afghan with it one day and some shopping bags tho I usually use cotton for them. This color scheme- Oceana- would make a lovely evening purse imo.

    5.0 out of 5 stars My Go To Acrylic
    Reviewed in the United States on May 11, 2024
    I've been using this yarn for a few years now. Usually to make amigurumi. It's soft and easy to work with. Yes sometimes it does snag, especially with inline styles, but still a very good yarn. I am currently making a dice bag with it, will post how that turns out (knitting though.)

    Caron has recently started (at least with these recent purchases,) to leave the end out so you don't have to dig for it. I have never had any issues with this yarn. Like my title says it is my go to acrylic, not just this one but the entire Caron line.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect yarn for making clothes or baby blankets - beautiful colors and really, really soft.
    Reviewed in the United States on November 19, 2023
    I absolutely love this yarn! It comes in a range of beautiful solid and variegated colors, is very soft and easy to use. It's the perfect weight for baby blankets, scarves and hats. I always have a crocheting project going on and this is one of my favorite yarns to use. It's very reasonably priced, but if you look around a bit you can find some really good sales on it. I get most of mine from Amazon as they usually have a great selection available and it gets here really quickly. It's pretty much my yarn of choice.

    My daughter in law wanted this yarn to repair a cat chewed throw. This was a perfect match. So color as shown is true.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Super soft!
    Reviewed in the United States on February 20, 2024
    I am new to crochet and wanted to find a softer yarn than what I had been using. I have sensory issues with touch and HATE the feel of stuff yarn! This yarn sure surprised me when I felt how soft it is! Also, the color is GORGEOUS! I immediately decided to make a quick hair tie just so I could use it. The first thing I noticed when I opened the package was a strong smell, it dissipated after a short time out of the bag. The only thing that I don't like (and this could be my fault since I'm still learning!) but the yarn kept separating a lot. I noticed it the most at the beginning. I did mess up and unraveled it a couple times. The part that was already loose got worse but luckily the rest didn't. It has a little bit of a learning curve to use because it's not as stiff as most so if my tension is too tight it's nearly impossible to pull through 2 loops. I will definitely be purchasing other colors as well!
