Same good quality as all the other Caron Simply Soft yarns. My only complaint is that the sections of color are very short about 1" to 2" max before the color changes. It makes it very hard to find the right stitch to have some kind of flow or nice color shift. When I started working with it my first thought was "OMG it looks like the 90's threw up". The first picture (with the ball of yarn) is when I first started working with it. The 2nd is after messing with it a while using a 6mm hook and a tight triple stitch pattern for a beanie.
This is becoming a baby blanket in a scalloped pattern for me. The yarn feels softer than other similar acrylic yarns. The stitches are not as easily split as others either. The colors (I got Crayon) are vivid. I would do more projects with this yarn.
I use two skeins together to knit with. It creates something that is soft to wear and easy to wash. Made three scarves as Christmas presents and my currently making a sweater for myself.
Nice can not get all colors locally
Beautiful colors and so easy and comfortable to work with.

I love the yarn but the skein is much smaller than what you usually find in stores for a higher price. I could not find these fin colors in stores.
It's simply beautiful.
Love it. Soft and well colored.
Beautiful colors, baby soft, easy to use. 👍
This is one of my favorite yarns.
