Caron Colorama Haze Cake Worsted Yarn — Midnight 2-Pack, 593m/227g Cakes, Soft Blended Gradient

Caron Colorama Haze Cake is a soft, felted worsted-weight yarn in a roomy 227g cake, delivering hazy, overlapping colour transitions ideal for sweaters, cardigans and accessories.

If you want a yarn that blends plush hand-feel with painterly colour shifts, this Midnight 2-pack from Caron’s Colorama Haze line offers both scale and subtle variation. Each cake presents a unique wash of tones that melt into one another, producing one-of-a-kind garments and home pieces without complicated colorwork. The fabric feels soft and slightly fuzzy, making it flattering for cosy layers and textured stitches.

How does Colorama Haze produce those soft, blended colour effects?

The Haze construction uses carefully graded colour changes and a slightly brushed surface so hues bleed into one another rather than forming stark stripes. That creates a hand-painted appearance across stockinette or garter stitch while preserving stitch definition enough for cables and ribbing. Every cake shifts differently, so no two finished items look identical.

• Multi-tonal gradient within each 593 m (649 yd) cake
• Brushed, felt-like finish for diffused colour transitions
• Consistent gauge suitable for #4 worsted patterns

What fibre mix and care should I expect with this 2-pack?

Colorama Haze combines polyester, acrylic, nylon and a touch of spandex for durability, loft and gentle stretch. The blend keeps the yarn soft while adding resilience so garments hold their shape. It’s machine washable and dryable, making it practical for everyday wear when you need easy care.

• Composition: 48% polyester, 42% acrylic, 9% nylon, 1% spandex
• Care: machine wash and tumble dry for simple maintenance
• Ball size: 227 g / 8 oz cake giving 593 meters (649 yards)

What projects work best with Midnight Colorama Haze?

The subdued, smoky Midnight palette suits garments and accessories where a soft, atmospheric colour story is desired. It performs well in sweaters, cardigans, hats, scarves and shawls that benefit from movement in the colorway. Blankets and oversized scarves also make use of the long colour runs for dramatic yet cosy surfaces.

• Ideal for medium-weight garments: sweaters, cardigans, vests
• Great for accessories: hats, cowls, shawls and mitts
• Good for home items: textured throws and pillow covers

Which needles, hooks and gauge should I use with this yarn?

Colorama Haze is classified as a #4 (worsted/medium) yarn. It knits and crochets to common worsted gauges, delivering predictable drape and stitch clarity. Use the recommended tools to hit the stated gauge or adjust needle/hook sizes for a lighter or denser fabric depending on your design.

• Crochet: 5.0 mm (US H-8), 14 sc x 16 rows = 4" x 4" (10 cm)
