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

Love this yarn soooooo much have bought lots of cakes of it for a variety of projects. The grape jelly is my favourite so far as love purple. Crochet ups well n washes easily. Still looks great after lots of wear.

This yarn is soft and easy to work with. I usually use a 5 or 6mm crochet hook but you could probably go a millimetre up or down on either side. The colours in person aren't quite what's represented on screen but in this case it doesn't matter. The issue I have with it is that the colour changes are really messy and inconsistent. There are a lot of ugly looking blotches on the yarn in places which is difficult to hide in the stitches.

This yarn is soft and thick and the colors pop, no blotchy spots in the dye or knots. Used a "I" hook and finished a king sized Afghan with 4 of these big cakes. Definitely will buy again for next project.

Great color striping. made knitted hats. turned out great

The purple shades in this re gorgeous! Used this to make a corner-2-corner blanket and it turned out beautifully! The delivery was quick and seamless. The thickness is perfect and did not experience any splitting.this worked up so well and the yarn was soft.
