Labor Day Yarn Haul

September 5, 2016

Hey everyone! Happy Labor Day! Because this was a holiday weekend, there were a TON of sales in every store, which always makes me super excited as I can’t wait to check out all of the yarn! I decided to take advantage of this and see what’s out there and do a Labor Day yarn haul. While I did pick up a couple of things for myself and for the house, I also picked up some yarn. Here’s what I got:

The first thing I picked up was three skeins of Caron Cake in the color Bumbleberry. I’ve heard a lot about these since they were released, so I knew I had to get my hands on this yarn. I love the initial look of it because you can see all of the color changes when you look at it front the top. It’s soft and squishy, which I love, as you can imagine from reading my blog. I’m big on the softness of the yarn. The colors of this line are gorgeous, and I wanted them all, but I settled on getting this purple one for now. I have to exercise self-control when I’m at any type of store that sells yarn, especially when it is at a discounted price. I plan on making a baby blanket out of it at some point. A review of this yarn will also be in the works. (You can check out my review of Caron Cake yarn here.)

The next yarn brand I picked up was Caron Simply Soft in the color Robin’s Egg. I drool over this color every time I spot it, but for whatever reason never picked it up. I found a sweater pattern that I love and knew this color would be perfect. It is soft and overall just a very pretty color. I can’t wait to see how the sweater will turn out. You can check out my review of this yarn here.

I’m following the same pattern as I did here with this blanket. This probably is one of my favorite yarns, although I can say that about a lot of yarns! The end result is a very cuddly blanket.

    Oooooh great haul!!! I LOVE Caron SS in Robin’s Egg…I used it for an Elsa lovey a while back (for myself, ahem 😉 ), and it’s sooooo soft! 😀 And oh my goodness, those Caron Cakes are gorgeous! I really must try them. 🙂

Hi everyone and thanks for stopping by! I’m Amanda, the crochet addict behind-the-scenes. I was always interested in crafting and being creative. One day I decided to learn how to crochet. I was instantly drawn to crochet and thought it was incredible how you could make something out of yarn and a hook. I guess you can say I’ve been ‘hooked’ ever since. Feel free to email me at amandacrochets@yahoo.com with any questions.
