When it comes to value, nothing beats Caron One Pound! This machine washable and dryable worsted weight yarn comes in a wide range of shades and is available in an economical one-pound skein. One skein makes four full-sized scarves.
I really love this yarn as the yarn ball feels like it lasts forever. A whole pound of yarn is a super terrific value. With a large assortment of yarn colours to choose, I feel creativity can be widely expressed without blowing the yarn budget.
From wearables to home decor accents, it's a great multi-purpose yarn. It is also considered to be one of the leaders of yarn in the United States.

I bought many of these on sale but seem to always have problems with them. They all seem to be knotted up inside and the yarn feels very hard not soft. Is this a common thing with their yarn?

I not experienced that anymore than any other value yarn. Have you watched Mikey's video about how yarn is made and why there can be knots? And personally, I love crocheting blankets with the yarn!

Hi 🙂
Has the Caron One Pound made its way to Canada ( Michael's or Walmart ) or is it still just in the U.S.?
