Caron Yarns has just launched a brand new yarn line exclusively at Michaels Stores called Caron Baby Cakes. Due to popular demand, it's a spin-off from the Original Caron Cakes. Crocheters and knitters requested that Caron Cakes be in non-wool materials, especially for babies, so they have removed the wool and substituted nylon. So this yarn is 82% Acrylic and 18% Nylon.

Afternoon Charlotte. As you know, I don't make this yarn and Michaels makes the decision on yarn that appears in their stores. I do know, this yarn is scheduled for a reappearance late this Spring back at Michaels for a limited time.
Charlotte says

Mikey whats up with the limited time and supply of the baby cakes and cotton cakes? All the stores are on clearance and sold out and no longer available online! Can we unite again and demand they bring them back like the Caron Cakes? What a tease! So disappointed as I fell in love with both these new yarns!
