Perfect yarn
This super soft yarn was an absolute dream to work with! I used it to crochet a jellyfish as a gift, and it turned out adorable. The texture is incredibly plush and gentle to the touch—perfect for a cuddly, handmade toy. The colors were vibrant, and the yarn held its shape beautifully. It made the finished gift feel extra special and cozy! Why did you pick this product vs others?: Amazing color Ease of use: extremely easy Size: Thin but soft

Long lasting comfort
Simply Soft is my go-to for afghans. My son showed me his "blankie" that I'd made him about 15 years ago. No fuzz left on it but it felt like silk. It's gorgeous yarn.

Ocean Color - Beautiful!
Overall, beautiful yarn! The color Ocean is a gorgeous, deep blue/teal. The yarn has a lustrous quality that brightens and adds depth to your work. I’m crocheting a US DC hexagon cardigan with the recommended H/8- 5.00mm hook. Just FYI- The yarn can get a little splitty when making looser stitches. Going up much higher than the recommended hook size may prove more difficult because of this. So far it hasn’t been much of an issue! I included two pictures, the one showing mid row work you can see how the yarn is wanting to split a bit. But once pulled all together you can’t tell! I will definitely buy this yarn again. Happy creating everyone!

Probably not beginner friendly
I’m using this for a blanket with knitting and I tried a new stitch with this color. The color is accurate and I like that I was able to buy a three pack to keep the color consistent. The price was good and the size was normal. The yarn is pretty soft, but it does seem to fray kind of easily. I’m not having much difficulty working with the yarn, but I could see it being frustrating trying to learn with. Overall, I would buy it again for the price but I wouldn’t use this for anyone trying to learn how to knit/crochet.

I am crocheting a blanket with this yarn, I HAVEN'T found 1 knot in any of the 3 balls which is great for me. In fact I haven't had any at all in any the caron simply soft. It washes well & is great for winter crochet projects & clothing

Every single Caron skein I have bought has been a dream in terms of finding the center pull. Honestly, I will pay a bit more if there is a choice between Caron and other brands just for that. This yarn is lovely to work with as well ... soft and smooth and great colour. Colour is pretty much exactly as shown (which is uncommon for yarns). The only slight negative is that it is a bit heavier than other acrylic yarns once a project is finished (crochet, not sure if that holds for knitted work as well). For blankets, for example, it results in a rather heavy blanket ... which could be good or bad, depending on your goals. It does get a bit fuzzy rather quickly as well ... for me, that's nice because I like the similarly to natural fibers in terms of the fuzzier look (wools), but it may be a detriment to some projects. All in all, I will always recommend this yarn. It's great and is actually pretty reasonably priced compared to some (insane) brands on Amazon ... and the skeins aren't a quarter of the normal size like some other brands.
