First Yarn Review- Caron Simply Soft - ShiFio's Patterns

I thought i might start doing some yarn reviews so that you can see which yarns we use.My first review is on a newly discovered yarnCaron Simply Soft(Chartreuse, Country Blue & Orchid)It is a worsted (aran) weighted yarn and they suggest using a UK-5mm, USA-H crochet hook or UK-5mm, USA-8 knitting needlesIt is 100% acrylic and comes in 52 lovely shadesUnder $5 /&nbsp;£5 so not the cheapest or the most expensive yarn out thereI first discovered this yarn when i spotted a beautiful hat mum had made, I knew then i had to get me some and try it out!!I decided on the Chartreuse- a beautiful lime green colourand with this i madePRO'sIt comes in a lot of coloursThis yarn is so soft, making it a good choice for baby wearBeing machine washable and dryable makes it very versatile and parent friendlyGlides easily over your hookHas a fuzzy natural look to the yarnSo far i have not come across any knotting in the yarn (where the yarn has stopped and they have rejoined it with a knot- one of the most annoying things to come across- I don't like knots in my work, so I usually have to then cut and sew in ends) so that is definitely a plus pointIt is readily available in the UK and USA which is a plus point for me when designingCON'sTends to get tangled at the start, so you have to sort it out with multiple hands (this wastes precious crochet time)The threads can split apart which can be annoying, if you have keep a tight tension on the yarn it makes it more likely to happen as you insert your hook, so keeping it slightly looser can helpIt is thinner than other worsted (aran) weighted yarns I have used, but keeping an eye on your tension helps solves thisI had to google to find out what was the dye lot number on the label as it isn't immediately obvious (it is the ww number)In conclusion I have to say I like this yarn a lot. I love the soft sheen and the colours it comes in and I am working on another project with it at the moment and will definitely be using it againUntil next timeFiona x
