Caron Simply Soft yarn — Strawberry 3-Pack, worsted 100% acrylic with smooth sheen and drape

This Strawberry shade comes from the Simply Soft Collection, a curated palette designed to coordinate across colours and complement the Simply Soft Paints line. The yarn offers a smooth sheen, drape-friendly hand, and reliable worsted-weight gauge that knitters and crocheters trust for everything from lightweight sweaters to cosy throws. Made in the USA, each pack contains three matching 6 oz (170 g) balls with generous yardage suitable for medium-weight projects.

How does this yarn behave when knitting or crocheting?

Caron Simply Soft uses a worsted weight that creates an even, forgiving fabric with a soft hand and fluid drape. It stitches up smoothly and shows stitch definition well, making textured and simple stitch patterns both effective. The acrylic fibre is easy to care for and maintains its sheen after handling.

• Knitting gauge: 18 stitches x 24 rows = 4 in/10 cm on US 8 / 5 mm needles
• Crochet gauge: approx. 13 sc x 14 rows with a US H/8 / 5 mm hook
• Consistent worsted/4 weight for pattern compatibility
• Creates garments and throws with natural drape and a subtle sheen
