Crafty Product Review: Caron® Simply Soft Brand Yarn
I absolutely love
this yarn. Like everything in the world,
it has its ups and downs, but I still love it!
I have been crocheting
since I was barely eighteen years old. I
joined a group of elderly ladies in a 4-H club in Puerto Rico, while awaiting
my date for boot camp and had some free time.
They taught me how to make potholders and decorative bathroom sets with
all the frills, but softness was never an issue. That is, until about 5 years ago. I was encouraged to make a baby blanket for my
last born daughter.
If the blanket was
to be for a baby, my baby, then it had to be super soft. I went to my local craft stores looking for
yarn perfect for my project. I quickly
noticed that just because a skein said the word “soft” or the word “baby” on
the label, did not mean it was actually soft enough for a baby. I had my husband close his eyes and feel
different types of yarns, all which were suppose to be for babies, on the back
side of his hand. To my great surprise,
he said that some of those yarns even felt rough! The winner was obviously Caron ® Simply Soft
Yarn. You can see a picture of the blanket I made next to my last born baby and our baby goat Jesse. She was enjoying the yarn too!
Just in case you are
thinking, well maybe there wasn’t that much variety. I was in a craft store that has one of the
biggest selections of yarns in the Augusta, GA area out of 4 major craft store
chains.

Overall, it is a
good yarn to work with, as it also feels soft on your hands. Every time I see this yarn on sale, I stock
up. Not because I make a lot of baby
stuff (my baby is now a “big kid”, lol), but because I like soft blankets too! This yarn cost around $3 a skein when on sale, and about $6 when not.
One of my other creations with this yarn is on the left. What did you think when you used this yarn? I would love to hear about your experience!
