Overview
Caron Simply Soft is a medium worsted acrylic yarn, sold here as a white three pack, with a luster and sheen that the description says gives drape for garments and throws alike.
Easy care is the reason to buy: acrylic that goes through the washer and dryer, with a soft luster and drape. The limit is the care list, which rules out ironing, bleach and dry cleaning.
Who it's for
Crafters making garments and throws who want low maintenance care will use the full pack. People who need cotton or wool fibers, or colors beyond white, should choose differently.
