Caron® Simply Soft® Ombre™ #4 Medium Acrylic Yarn, Saturday Blue Jeans Ombre 5oz/141g, 235 Yards (12 Pack)

I love this yarn. Caron Simply Soft is my go to yarn. This 12 pack, is exactly what I need for an adult sized afghan. The blues are pretty with good shading. When using a G 4.25 mm crochet hook, there is subtle striping which fades into the next color. This is the second blanket I will have made using this blue ombre yarn. It has a nice sheen and a silky feel. It has great stitch definition and drape. It washes well and is very soft. It doesn't pill. While working with the yarn, it can split and there are a few factory knots, but it is a minor annoyance compared to how well the crochet project turns out. It is worth it! I found using a slightly smaller hook like a G 4.25mm or a Clover 7 (4.5 mm) kept the splitting to a minimum. I highly recommend this yarn.
