Any type of blankets, throws, afgans, ponchos, winter wear, and home decor done in this yarn would be absolutely fabulous!! Can't wait to start hookin' with this yarn. Definitely a good member to have added to the caron cake family. I wish I had the yarn and a pattern to get started on now. Mikey you are a wonderful teacher I love all of your YouTube tutorials! Look foward to new ones soon!!
