Caron All Day Cotton - 3 Pack of 173 Yards/3.52 oz Mauve 100% Mercerized Cotton Yarn

This yarn has a very nice, silky, smooth feel. Like all cotton yarns, it has considerable weight, unlike the 'weightless' man-made yarns, so it has excellent drape. It is made by a 'braiding' of the individual threads, and then they're twisted to form the yarn. It doesn't split excessively when knitting, but it will split if you poke a needle into the yarn instead of wrapping, and then it tends to keep splitting until you knit past that section. It is absolutely the best for stitch definition. A complicated stitch pattern knits up beautifully and keeps its definition through wearing. If you're looking for a natural fiber that knits up beautifully, with great drape, this is your yarn.

I ordered several packages of this yarn, half expecting the dye lots not to match, but they miraculously did. The yarn is wonderfully soft and delightful to work with. It has incredible stitch definition, if that is what you are looking for. It frogs easily, if you are like me and have to pull out row after row when you find a mistake. I had a very hard time finding the center pull and ended up with a lot of 'yarn guts' on about half the skeins. This yarn is 100% cotton but is lighter and has MUCH more drape than other cotton yarns. This is because of its chainette structure. This type of yarn, unlike many (most) cottons, is quite resistant to splitting. If you get splitting, try changing your hook or needles because it is almost certainly not the yarn. (Look at the yarn carefully and you'll see why.) I used Bates hooks/needles with not a single split and my sweater is already half finished. The price is great, too, although I did get mine in Deal Days. This works up like much more expensive yarn. It is mercerized, with lovely, discreet sheen. The color on this is a beautiful, soft blue that is almost periwinkle, but not quite. Just a hint of violet to the blue. I am working on an unstructured cardi and love the drape of this yarn and love the way the ribbed borders have a crisp look to them. When I finish, I'll come back here and add a photo.

Caron All Day Cotton Yarn is absolutely wonderful to work with! The texture is soft yet strong, and it glides so smoothly on my hooks and needles without splitting. I love that it’s 100% cotton, making it perfect for everything from dishcloths and home décor to lightweight garments. The colors are vibrant and hold up beautifully after washing, which makes my finished projects look professional and long-lasting. It’s quickly become one of my favorite go-to yarns for both practical and creative projects!

Actual rating I'd say is 3.75. I enjoy the yarn itself is very soft and easy to work with. Breathable for wearable items and the colours are beautiful (though I wish there was a bigger selection). My issue? The factory knots. Some skeins have none, but one skein had 4 or 5 factory knots within the first HALF of the skein. There was one more really close to the end. Other skeins have had 3 or 4 total as well. With how small the skeins are you would think there wouldn't need to be so many.. Maybe one here and there. I absolutely hate weaving in ends just like most people, so needing to weave in more just because of factory knots really annoys me. I did a no-sew project where I would've only have to weave in ends from the beginning, where the skein ends, and where I finished each colour. Nope. Not including beginning and ends, I had to weave in 30 ends because of factory knots. Yes, I counted. I'll still order this yarn because it's better quality than other cotton I've used- I even have more on the way now and it's my 3rd time purchasing. But caron... You need to figure out those factory knots. I still recommend this yarn, just a fore warning.

So soft. It was really easy to use and one of my favorite yarns I’ve used.

This yarn is beautiful and very high quality. It feels soft, works great for crafting, and the color is exactly what I expected. I’m very happy with it.

I’m loving this yarn so far! I bought it to make some stuff for our new baby, and it’s exactly what I was looking for. It’s soft and the quality is excellent especially for the price. I got the dark brown and the color is exactly like the picture. Definitely recommend.

I like that it's 100% cotton yarn; smooth and easy to use without snagging and getting fuzzy; just the right thickness (gauge). Price is good, too! There's a good variety of colors available to suit one's preference(s) but I'm happy with the color I chose - goes so well with the Chemex wood collar and trivet I have. I highly recommend this product.

Haven’t used it yet but I can’t believe how much darker it is in person vs the photo. I still like it though. Reminds me of the 24/7 lion brand yarn. Removed a star do to the colour difference.

1st time using this yarn. Omg Its super soft and i love how it crochet. I will be ordering more. Can't wait until they add more colours.

This is a braided style yarn. No more separating strands. The finished product is more lightweight even though it is 100% cotton. Ideal for many projects. Would make a great shrug or shawl. Combine it with another 100% cotton yarn and your washcloth or scrubby would keep it's shape better.
