Review: Beautiful Great Quality Yarn! - I absolutely love the Caron Simply Soft Tweeds yarn. The color is gorgeous—soft and neutral with little darker brown flecks that add just the right amount of texture and visual interest. It feels incredibly smooth, making it perfect for projects that need a cozy, soft finish. It works up beautifully without splitting, and the weight is consistent across the skein. Whether you're knitting or crocheting, this yarn is super easy to work with. I also love that a single skein has a generous amount of yardage, which makes it a good value for the price. Highly recommend this yarn for blankets, scarves, sweaters, and any project where you want softness with a touch of character. I’m currently working on a Tree Of Life afghan and it’s turning out beautiful. Review: Soft & Easy to Use. - LOVE this yarn. So soft. I've made sweaters from Simply Soft & they turn out amazing. The yarn sometimes has a tendency to split - but not enough to make me want to stop buying it. ## Features - Content: 100% acrylic, 4 worsted weight - Ball Size: 170 g / 6 oz, 288 meters / 315 yards - Care: Machine wash and dry - Knitting Gauge: 18 sts and 24 rows with a 5 mm (U.S. 8) knitting needle - Crochet Gauge: 13 sc and 14 rows with a 5 mm (U.S. H/8) crochet hook ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00172V6QC | | Best Sellers Rank | #8,762 in Arts, Crafts & Sewing ( See Top 100 in Arts, Crafts & Sewing ) #222 in Yarn | | Brand | Caron | | Brand Name | Caron | | Color | Red | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 6,991 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00035613977296 | | Item Length | 288 Inches | | Item Thickness | 5 Millimeters | | Item Type Name | Acrylic yarn | | Item Weight | 170 Grams | | Manufacturer | Caron | | Material | Acrylic | | Material Composition | 100% Acrylic | | Material Type | Acrylic | | Product Care Instructions | Machine Wash | | UPC | 035613977296 | | Unit Count | 945.0 Feet | | Warranty Description | No Warranty | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Caron - **Color:** Red - **Compatible Knitting Needle US Size:** 8 - **Item Length:** 288 Inches - **Item Thickness:** 5 Millimeters - **Item Weight:** 170 Grams - **Material:** Acrylic - **Material Composition:** 100% Acrylic - **Product Care Instructions:** Machine Wash - **UPC:** 035613977296 ## Images ![Caron Simply Soft Solids Yarn (4) Medium Gauge 100% Acrylic - 6 oz - Red - Machine Wash & Dry - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71YL6X-obEL.jpg) ![Caron Simply Soft Solids Yarn (4) Medium Gauge 100% Acrylic - 6 oz - Red - Machine Wash & Dry - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81nhbACJQsL.jpg) ![Caron Simply Soft Solids Yarn (4) Medium Gauge 100% Acrylic - 6 oz - Red - Machine Wash & Dry - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/712EORD2HiL.jpg) ![Caron Simply Soft Solids Yarn (4) Medium Gauge 100% Acrylic - 6 oz - Red - Machine Wash & Dry - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81kjKRzSRyL.jpg) ![Caron Simply Soft Solids Yarn (4) Medium Gauge 100% Acrylic - 6 oz - Red - Machine Wash & Dry - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81d8GdUaV1L.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color, Size, Style** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Beautiful Great Quality Yarn! *by S***N on November 23, 2025* I absolutely love the Caron Simply Soft Tweeds yarn.
