Love this yarn. I use it a lot in both knitting and crocheting projects. Knits and crochets up beautifully with no shade/lot number to worry about. Can purchase any time. Also, it’s an extra sized ball (6oz) so it goes a long way for your money.
I have a rather tight tension when I knit, but Caron Simply Soft doesn't curl nearly as much as my other favorite brand of the same weight and material. I also crochet with Caron and am always well pleased with the quality of this yarn. The range of colors from pastels to variegated make Caron suitable for all sorts of projects.
Fabulous yarn, so silky soft. Good stitch definition. I love the Caron Simply Soft yarn to knit up baby and children’s Aran cardigans of my own designs.
The color of a yarn is sometimes hard to pick when you can only see it on line. The color chart on your site is usually right on with the colors I choose. I can rely on it to be just the shade I want. That's important to me when I want an item to appear "old fashioned", as I did with this Fuchsia shade. It looks like it was made a long time ago, yet it's brand new.
I crocheted Christmas stockings with this yarn for my son, his wife and his son. It croched up in a snap, and the color gave the stockings the old fashioned look I was going for. They loved the stockings!
I like this yarn. I didn't know if I would, but it is pleasing to knit with and the finished item looks nice. I think it is good value. I'm not sure if the colours show up well on the website, I have had occasion to return yarn for that reason, the yarn I bought looked salmon pink on the website but was much more of an orange when it came. I appreciate LoveKnitting's policy of allowing free returns, though. I have also found customer service staff to be friendly and helpful. I needed to give...
Absolutely one of my go to Aran yarns. I just love how silky smooth it is and how well it washes. It also is a delight to work with, never splits and rarely pills and in a great size ball too especially for the price
Caron Simply Soft is a good go to acrylic yarn if you're looking for a cleaner finish. It's excellent value for money and goes far. Caron Simply Soft is my go to for winter items.
I'm very pleased with this yarn and it definitely is soft to touch. It knits well so I would recommend it. It was delivered quickly and well wrapped.
Soft and squishy yarns, work up well with no splitting, vibrant colours, exactly what I wanted
