Caron Simply Soft Brites Yarn, 6 oz, Mango, 1 Ball

This is super soft, I gave it 4 stars as it seems to come apart while you are using it. Got my project done.

I was completely satisfied. Thanks!

This is very bright yarn, moreso than I thought, but I like it. It's definitely prone to splitting, which may not be as big a problem with crochet as w/ knitting, but it's still a little bit of a problem. If I catch a stitch from the previous row the wrong way, I have a strand sticking out. I've gotten the hang of *not* catching a stitch like that, but I think it shouldn't be happening. Really soft and yummy to work with and to wear. It's a very light weight worsted though; the recommended hook is an H (5.0mm). Compare that to a recommeded I hook for Red Heart Soft, and a J hook for the Red Heart Super Saver yarn. So if you want something that drapes well, this is great, but I'm not sure how well it would stand up to frequent use, like a kid's blanket. I may be wrong about that, though. I'm making a light weight lapghan right now for an adult (me), and I'll try to remember to update after a few washes.

This was purchased to add to a blanket I was crocheting for my friend's grandson. It was used as a border around the whole blanket and did just what I wanted it to, really popped beside the variegated colours of the blanket. The mango colour was one of the colours in the blanket and the emphasis was perfect! The yarn does split fairly easily so one must be careful when hooking with the crochet hook. I found it made me more alert as I was crocheting. It's all good. Received compliments for the 3 blankets done.

As a big fan of Caron simply soft,I was unable to get this color in shops so got it from amazon.As usual the yarn is very soft and works perfect for my project. I purchased two skein of this yarn for $3.99 each, the rate was reasonable although I can get Caron yarns for $2.99 in nearby shops .But when I wished to purchase it again in amazon its rate is changed to a $7.20 no idea why it changed but its expensive now. planning to get more when the price drops.Anyways great yarn and vibrant color .
