CaronSimply Soft Solids Yarn (4) Medium Gauge 100% Acrylic - 6 oz - Iris - Machine Wash & Dry

Simply Soft Party yarn has more loft and is lighter in weight than the regular Simply Soft variety. It still has a nice sheen, and there's a sparkly fiber that twists around the yarn about every 1/4". It's listed as a #4 weight, but it functions more as a #5, I think.It's actually a bit easier to work with because it splits less than the regular Simply Soft yarn.It doesn't have the scratchiness that usually comes with metallic yarns. You can wear this against your skin.It's about twice as expensive as the regular Simply Soft yarn. It has about 165 yards. I've used it to create borders around my crochet Afghan motifs and it looks great.I'd like to try out all the different sparkle colors. So far, my favorite is the grey platinum sparkle.

Beautiful texture/easy knitting. Tried on this portion and warm soft to my skin. Can't wait to finish. Have used this yarn before and know it launders well.

This yarn is very soft and has great colors to choose from. It’s great for a bsby afghan or child’s blanket. I’m making a mermaid blanket out of it for a grandchild, and it looks great and feels soft. You would not want to use it for an item that needs a stiffer yarn.

A very attractive yarn. I'm pairing the blue and the white and the effect is smashing. It's pleasant to work with. I'd use again.

Caron Simply Soft (CSS) in Grape colorway is a nice bright yarn that pairs brilliantly with the Iris colorway, which is a very bright darker purple. They provide very good light/dark contrast for each other and work well with White as a complementary neutral.CSS is thinner than worsted but thicker than sport weight yarn.  For knitting it is absolutely delightful, but for crochet it takes some finesse.  The yarn has no elasticity at all, so I find that I have to use multiple hook sizes depending on the stitch I am making - sometimes two hooks in a single stitch - to maintain consistent tension appearance and avoid large holes at the tops of stitches.  The direction of the twist is ideal for knitting, so the 4 strands frequently untwist as I am crocheting and I have to take care not to split them or accidentally catch my hook on just 1.  It can get properly tangled, but it's easy to untangle because it has a very "slippy" kind of texture; a quality which requires that every stitch be worked through at least two loops to avoid the final fabric developing huge holes and tight knots at the top of your stitches, so I have adjusted my procedure for when a pattern calls for FLO or BLO.  Your finished fabric will feel nice almost no matter what you do with it, but you will need to adjust your hook size if you are making stitches with largely varying sizes becausd you cannot adjust enough just by holding the yarn tighter (trust me on this one, save your hands the pain.)Overall I still really like CSS, and have none of these problems at all when knitting with it, but I just don't recommend it for absolute beginner crocheters.  It can definitely be problematic to work with if you are not prepared to face the challenges it presents.10/10 drape quality for this stuff though.  Imitates silk blend yarns I have used pretty well.

The pink yarn arrived on time. It worked well for my project, feels nice, and creates a warm scarf.

You won't be disappointed if you buy this yarn. Color selection is great & the yarn is consistent in the ply throughout the skein. If you buy white, you never have to be concerned about the dye lot.

Love the Caron simply soft yarn

This wool has an absolute stunning colour and it is so soft and shiny. I love working with this.

Fine quality. Seamless transaction. Highly recommend Seller.

Beautiful colours and never hurts my fingers to work with as it's always so soft 😍

This yarn is very soft and the colors are consistent. Would purchase again.

I bought this for one project but then eneded up deciding it was so lovely I wanted to make a sweater from it. It's knitting up beautifully!
