Caron Big Cakes Self Striping Yarn ~ 603 yd/551 m / 10.5oz/300 g Each (Toffee Brickle)

Beautiful bold colors made a soft and cozy blanket

Very easy yarn to work with. The colors are very nice and flow nicely with color change. I recommend this yarn and was very pleased with my finished project. I used an H crochet hook.

good

This yarn is worth the buy and the colors are amazing

I crocheted an Afghan that called for two Caron Big Cakes, so I bought two in toffee brickle. The first big cake was great, very proportional and pleasant variegation, only one knot, and uniform texture otherwise. The speckling was fun and whimsical without looking accidental. The second cake was a different story. It started out okay, and to continue my striping I had to do a little of my own cutting, which was easy to hide on this afghan, but soon the color pools were all out of whack, and color transitions were abrupt rather Han thoughtfully blended. Next came the knots - 4 in the second half, and I still had to work in the yarn I had trimmed off at the beginning. Finally at one knot the yarn suddenly became thin and stiff, as though it had been over saturated with dye. That persisted for longer than I desired, but I hope it will sort itself out with washing. You can’t even tell by looking at the finished product, but it just didn’t feel good in hand. I’m pleased enough to make one for each of my young daughters, but would probably look elsewhere for making a special gift for an adult.

I love the feel of this yarn and i cant wait to make a coat out of it!!

Nice color transition. One roll make enough for one half side of a hexagon sweater.

Very nice yawn.

First time I tried a Caron cake. Was impressed at the colour and how it looked in crochet granny stripes . You could make a small shawl/ baby size blanket/ cowl out of 1 ball.

I love the colours and the yarn would have been great except that the thickness was inconsistent in places. Some of the blue went almost as thin as thread and some of the colour transitions were made with knots. The yarn although pretty was too inconsistent to rate higher.

My Daughter loves this yarn!

Lovely yarn to use for crochet and knitting. The colours are beautiful and garments wash well with little to no piling

Making a blanket lovely and soft softer then my usual Caron cakes
