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.

Mikey, The Crochet Crowd says
That's something I wouldn't be told or know anything about. You can contact Caron Yarns through Yarnspirations.com to inquire if you wish.
Janice Massey says
I would like to know how to post a picture of my crochet project to your Facebook page. Cannot figure out how to do this.
Dana Gmuer says
Janice, On The Crochet Crowd FB page find the box to write a post (usually somewhere near the top) and at the top of the box there is a photo/video button. Click that and it will walk you through adding a picture. Good luck!
Karen says
Is the pattern available for the baby blanket pictured about using Caron baby cakes?
