New to Caron Yarns as of Jan 16, 2018, is Caron Chunky Cakes, exclusively at Michaels. This new addition to the lineup satisfies those crocheters and knitters who wanted just 100% Acrylic Yarns. Yep, that's right, no wool is in these beauties.
This yarn may be treated as seasonal from time to time. Grab it when you can.
Extremely soft to the touch and a bulky #6 weight, there are now 16 colours to launch this line from scratch.

I would make lap blankets and snuggle blankets for our DAV. They love anything made with love.

I love the Caron Cakes, and having a chunky version is awesome! I'm going to try making one of the mosaic afghans that I recently watched you doing on YouTuibe. I've been wanting to try that for a while now.

I'd like a couple of chunky crocheted sweaters, please!
