Caron Cake Craze
So I have seen many, many photos of you yarn collectors who also ran out to buy this fun yarn. Have you picked out a project yet? Don't let this one gather dust! It is such a dream to work with so grab your hooks and get busy!
Free Patterns ideas to get you started hooking your new yarn.
- Virus Shawl - this super popular shawl is perfect for the color changes in this soft yarn.
- Virus Blanket - another popular design is always popping up. Paid Pattern.
- Pineapple Peacock Shawl - see the example done by one of our Crochet Crowders.
- Mile A Minute Baby Afghan - just make your strips longer for a full-sized blanket.
- Squared Diamond Granny Throw - any granny design would be fun with this yarn.
- Road Trip Scarf - a fast and easy design to make.

I'm going to make a swatch and wash and dry it on the gentle cycle. I really want to make afghans with the cakes.

I had to jump on the bandwagon and make something with a skein! Yes I only bought one! I could find a pattern I wanted so didn't want to buy more, so I bought one and designed my own scarf! I thought I'd keep it for me, but I got an order for 5 of them! Since it's all for charity......I guess I'll be making more and not keeping this one! 🙁

What color caron big cakes did you use for the beans and bobbles afghan? Thank you!
Joyce Palmer says
I really like Caron Cakes, except running across flaws, have had to cut fuzzy strips of yarn out about 5 times and am not even close to halfway, this is my first skein of it

We are sorry that you are experiencing this. I would suggest talking to customer service with Michaels Stores.

I'm sorry that is happening to you. Yarn is a fickle product. This can happen to any yarn because of the fibers.
