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.
