Really appreciate your honest thoughts about the yarn. Price is a big factor for me when I buy yarn, especially with costs of everything rising. There are cheaper alternatives for basically the same kind of yarn. Liked seeing it worked up so you can see how the colors look. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
I love all the colors names. Being a California girl, some of these names bring to mind places and colors of our Pacific coastline. A couple of them also remind me of a colorful vacay on a Hawaiian beach! I have to say that "Twilight surf" is my fave because I love blues and purples, and it really does remind me of a fun night at the beach, watching the waves crash just beyond the shore! And, of course " Heatwave" speaks to me, having experienced many of them throughout my long lifetime in sunny Southern California! 🤗
Totally appreciate your honesty in reviews. Thank you for pointing out the price jumps. That cake is a ridiculous $14.99 for me and I’m tired of everyone just accepting that price.
I agree, we should not buy it at the inflated price. It is crazy that people just buy it because it's new, if it's nothing special why waste your hard earned money on it. ❤️
Definitely agree with you on the price. For a plain acrylic yarn it's too much. It's like they think they can slap a Caron Cake label on it and people will just buy them. Maybe later, if they go on sale. But not at that price. I have to say my favorite was the Twilight Surf. Love those blues!
I like the colors of the Hibiscus, Oyster Marble and Heatwave cakes. I myself wouldn't pay that amount for any of them either, so I probably won't be purchasing them. Thanks for letting everyone know how they work up, and do under washing and drying.
I looked at them at Michaels yesterday. Pretty yes, but the price stopped me cold. I even had a $5.00 off coupon. Left the store without purchasing. I agree with everything you said. If they were cheaper I would buy them.
They do look like a lot of cakes on the market right now . Pretty, but I think I like the washed look of the Blossom better . Thanks for both reviews . Completely agree with you on the price
I miss when most Caron cakes were only 10$, but with the prices of everything I'm not surprised at the 13$ price tag now. Good thing is Michaels has sales all the time, or a coupon code. I just picked up this yarn in Oyster and Beach Towel, both to make blankets with. Started a blanket today in Oyster, it looks so nice with a rich textured/3d type stitch! Went up a hook to a 6mm and it has a bit more loft than the recommended 5mm. Love this new style of review video!
I haven’t been to a Michele’s in years I don’t have 1 very close to me I was by 1 over Christmas I found Caron cakes for 75% off I was excited because I’ve been wanting to try them
The Bay and Twilight Surf are my fave. I totally agree that several colorways looked very similar. The heatwave was also very pretty. Thank you for sharing your thoughts. I agree that the price is too high for my wallet. I will definitely have to catch them on sale.
Love these colors, and the way they stripe knitting... primarily I'm a knitter. I agree with your comments on the price. I can buy Herrschners stripes yarns, both baby stripes and regular stripes, for less than half the price of Caron Cakes and get the same amount of yarn. I felt your hesitation on final review, but agree it's all about the price. Thanks for also showing yarns in knit and crochet. It is much appreciated by this knitter.
I love nearly all of these colors. They have about the same price but almost 100 fewer yards than the yarn you reviewed in the previous video. I have to say that I do like working with these Caron cakes reviewed in both videos.
Thanks for this review of the cinnamon swirl. For price I expect some wool content and/ or a higher grade acrylic. If I want a similar yarn I can buy Herrschners for less than half that price per yard. Thanks for saving my pocketbook. Caron cakes have been really hit or miss lately for me, but I never pay full price for them. BTW, if you can still find them the 1000 yard 6 weight Anniversary cakes are now a more reasonable $20 at my local Michael’s, but still pricey unless you have a special project for them.
I wanted to tell you how grateful I am for all you do. But you did something recently that really has helped me a lot. Last Saturday took a bad fall, I seriously injured myself my left wrist has a broken bone and then the second bone is broken and shattered, my right rotator cuff is damaged so I can not crochet or knit. In redoing your room you added the “This to shall pass” thank you for this sign. I want you to know this was life changing for me. My surgery is next Friday. God Bless you and your family.
I like Springtime, Twilight Surf and Bay. The Beach Towel is very vibrant! I agree that I would not pay $12.99 for this or the Blossom Cakes. Thanks for your honest reviews of all the yarns you review. You save your viewers so much money, and I for one, appreciate that! (And you!)
I ordered the Tropical Breeze (but I adore rainbows). I love that they seem a lot like Hobbii's horizons but are cheaper. I also love the way you say "wash," because it is exactly how my grandma said it, so every time you do, you remind me of one of my favorite people of all time. Thank you for the review!
Crystal thank you for reviewing these yarns. I saw them at my Michaels but when I saw the price I didn’t pick it up. Maybe if Michael has a 40% coupon I will buy one for a special project.
I fully agree with you Crystal and I am a 6 rating at the most for them. Seen various basic yarns that look very similar to them all for half the price or less! Thank you for always keeping it real and honest 👍💜🇬🇧
Thank you for swatching the yarn. It’s so helpful to see how it crochets and knits up. Crochet stitches colour pool differently than knit stitches so variegated yarns look so different when swatched for both but sometimes it’s hard to picture it. I know it means you can’t gift the yarn after so thank you for sacrificing for us.
I really appreciate the samples and especially the washed one. Helps me decide on yarns to use. I hate to make a project and the have it pill. Thanks for the yarn talk!
I love all of them!!! Gonna have to get myself some of them (when they go on sale, $12.99 is a bit steep for these cakes)! Thanks so much for sharing again with us Crystal! I have to agree the Heatwave is my favourite color, and the oyster is also lovely as you pointed out as your 2nd favourite. I really love your channel Crystal! You have saved me so much money over the years since I am an online shopper. Thanks for bringing yet another great yarn review to us! You are the BEST, Crystal. I really appreciate all you do for us yarnies!
I really like these reviews, I like to see how the stripes work up on the knitting machine and I especially like the fact you washed it and showed that as well. Great review Crystal!
Oh man I agree with the price being a bit much. I do love these bright colors, especially the ones with yellows and oranges. I think they would look amazing worked up as mosaic back color with a contrasting color as the patterns.😊 Thanks again for your info!!🤗
Watching this 1 year later. I find these colors very very beautiful. Looking forward to seeing them - hopefully knitted on your machine. Love you Rachel.
I truly value your reviews; I appreciate that I do not always agree with your choices but I do enjoy that you are honest and give a clear evaluation of each yarn you review. I am on a fixed income now and you have helped me spend my yarn allowance wisely and for that I sincerely thank you. You are my #1 go to for advice, tutorials, knowledge and patterns. Please overlook the ignorant person's comments, as they are just sad little people who need our sympathy and prayers. You are loved by your true follower-your long distance friends.
I love the names they used for these. Very descriptive. The hydrangea is very accurate. I also love the twilight surf color. Thanks for your review. The yarn looks nice on camera.
I appreciate your reviewing yarns and your opinions. That way I don’t waste money. And so far I am very pleased with the purchases I have made. Thanks so much. Have a great day.
Thank you for your totally honest review!! I will have to say I am really not excited about any of the colors....they're ok, but they don't jump out and grab me. And I am not a fan of the price either, though I think everything has gone up quite a bit. I appreciate how you took us through the whole process!!
I just got Heat Wave today to make a shawl for a colleague! Glad I found this review. I don’t use self striping yarns that often-ok, ever. So I’m glad to see samples.
I like most of them, love the oyster and bay the best. Thanks for the review , as I am sort of new to crocheting, when it comes to buying yarn I would really like to have a big stash. But as I have limited money so I buy what I need for a given project. Thanks again for the review and all of your knowledge you share. Have great weekend.
I just started watching your channel and I love your videos love the yarns and how you teach how to do a crochet stitch easy to follow Thanks for taking your time and putting all the effort in your videos My fav yarn was the tropical
I’m loving all the colors. My favourite is the oyster colorway. But I’m in Canada and 14.99 is so expensive for yarn. Definitely need a coupon to buy them. Thank you for another great review, really enjoyed seeing how they crocheted and washed up. 🙋🏼♀️💜🇨🇦
The Colors Heat Wave and twilight Surf are gorgeous. I would have to have a coupon to buy one and know what I wanted to make. I hand wash everything made of yarn, but I know people that don’t and things seem to survive. Thanks for sharing Crystal❤️🥰🙏🏻
I totally agree that some of the colors are too similar. They could have offered so much more of a range. I do LOVE your new review features. Even though it's obviously more work for you, it is interesting to see how they work up, frog, and come out from the wash. Lastly, your opinion does matter. That's one of the reasons I follow your channel and watch all your videos. Thank you for your thoughts.
I am fairly new to crochet and am still learning about different yarns. I have learned so much from you. So far nothing I’ve seen from Caron really grabs me If it is a self striping yarn, I’ll end up color controlling, and for that price, I would just as soon buy individual color skeins. Or maybe wait until they or clearanced. Maybe
Thank you Crystal for your honest review, and sharing the sample piece. This review is helpful, especially before purchasing. My favorite is Springtime, Bay, and Twilight Surf.
The colors are lovely on these and the blossom(?) ones in part 1, but I have to agree about paying full price for caron cakes. I DO love them, but I never pay full price. It just seems so overly expensive these days.
I agree with you about the price. They look very similar to Plymouth hot cakes & the price is also close to their price BUT the Plymouth has 20% wool in it. Considering the fact that the Caron cake is 100% acrylic you are right in saying that they are overpriced. I will probably buy a few because I like the colors but only if they are not full price. Thank you for a thorough review! I loved seeing how it washes & dries.
Loved the Oyster color!!! So pretty. This review was outstanding! Loved seeing all the colors, how they crocheted and washed up. Thanks so much for sharing!! Btw, was cracking up “sunset over a dirty pond” 😂😂😂 You’re the best!!
I agree with everything you said in this review. I received 2 cakes as a Christmas gift and it is basic. I’m not a fan of 100% acrylic so I’m using this on my pin loom to experiment with bias weaving. The color runs are too long for the 6 inch square loom. If the price was $6 I could give it a recommendation but at twice that, there are better options out there. Thanks for the review, Chrystal.
I’m making a shawl out of the Oyster color right now. My daughter picked the yarn and colors. I was happy to see your review of how it washed up because I was a little worried as it feels a little “stiff” as I’m crocheting it. So I’m glad it will soften up when washed. The Oyster color is really pretty and I love the overall look. I got the yarn 30% off and agree it is overpriced. Thanks for your review
I love all of these especially the twilight one for me. I have the heatwave and bay in my cart for my son's and husband's grapghan blankets as their background colors
I really appreciate when you do these type of reviews. I was surprised that you rated this lower than the Blossom Cakes. I like the colors of the Cinnamon Swirl better than the Blossom Cakes. I think that most yarn companies make their yarn from the perspective of a knitter. They don’t consider that crochet takes more yarn and that the stripes need to be longer to color control.
Hi Crystal. Those cakes do look like several other brands for sure. I do like the colors. I do not like the price. I like oyster, Marble, tropical breeze, beach towel a lot,. Thank you for another great review!
Thank you so much Crystal for your great and honest review. It's a really pretty yarn, I like the twilight and bay colors. But they are much too expensive for me.
My 1st choice color is Oyster then heatwave and last marble...didn't really care for any of the other colors. Thanks Crystal for sharing your thoughts on this yarn!
Thank you for reviewing the cinnamon cakes, Crystal. This cake series is really nothing that stands out. Heat Wave is the only one that actually stands out as different. I do like that one. But, once again, it's just so overpriced for the amount of yardage you get. I would rather get multiple solid colors and use them together than use one of these. At least you'll have the yardage and it would be way more cost effective. Blessings!

I really love this review style. I loved seeing the samples and hearing how they washed up. Thanks!
I like the heat wave I love orange.
Tropical breeze and beach towel are my favorites. Heat waves is nice.
I LOVE hibiscus and oyster ❤

Hibiscus
Twilight
Very pretty
My favorite color is Spring. I loved the softness of the purple and creams
Totally appreciate your honesty in reviews. Thank you for pointing out the price jumps. That cake is a ridiculous $14.99 for me and I’m tired of everyone just accepting that price.
I agree, we should not buy it at the inflated price. It is crazy that people just buy it because it's new, if it's nothing special why waste your hard earned money on it. ❤️

Watching this 1 year later. I find these colors very very beautiful. Looking forward to seeing them - hopefully knitted on your machine. Love you Rachel.
I finally got this yarn I made my grand children socks and scarfs. They loved the colors!
I enjoyed seeing all the new pretty Swirl cakes! Thank you for the up close and personal views. I am a Caron Cake fan from the beginning. 💐
I like the Heatwave colored yarn. A beautiful color for fall. Thank you for making an honest review and the swatches. Love your videos!

I just got Heat Wave today to make a shawl for a colleague! Glad I found this review. I don’t use self striping yarns that often-ok, ever. So I’m glad to see samples.
You are a yarn connoisseur who speaks for the people.

Love the new Caron yarns! I think Spring Time is my favorite. Thank you for the review!
Twilight 💜 then springtime and the heatwave is perfect for fall time!!
Hi. Crystal. Thank. You. For. Showing. This. New. Yarn. All. The. Colors. Are. Beautiful. My. Favorite. Color. Is. The. Oyster I. Think. It. Will. Make. A. Beautiful. Blanket.
I’m loving all the colors. My favourite is the oyster colorway. But I’m in Canada and 14.99 is so expensive for yarn. Definitely need a coupon to buy them. Thank you for another great review, really enjoyed seeing how they crocheted and washed up. 🙋🏼♀️💜🇨🇦
Spring time very soft light colors love it
I really love the new Caron Cinnamon Swirls. I liked them all. Thank you Crystal for reviewing these for us ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Oyster and heatwave would also be my pick. I gravitate towards anything Fall. Love all deep fall colors in yarns and fabrics.
Thank you Crystal!! I like the new review format. It really helps. My favorite color was the oyster. 💚💜💚💜
The Colors Heat Wave and twilight Surf are gorgeous. I would have to have a coupon to buy one and know what I wanted to make.
I hand wash everything made of yarn, but I know people that don’t and things seem to survive.
Thanks for sharing Crystal❤️🥰🙏🏻
Thanks for the reviews on the new cakes... I like the heatwave the best, it reminds me of a beautiful sunset 🌇
Spring time and heat wave are my two favorites 😊
I totally agree that some of the colors are too similar. They could have offered so much more of a range.

Not feeling the love for these cakes so much. Thank you for doing the discovery work for us. So helpful! 💜
The colors are lovely on these and the blossom(?) ones in part 1, but I have to agree about paying full price for caron cakes. I DO love them, but I never pay full price. It just seems so overly expensive these days.
Thanks for sharing this review. A bit pricey but colorful enough to wait for sales. Stay blessed and well.
thanks for your honest review- it really is so important to share your point of view
I like the way you are reviewing the yarns now. 👍
I agree with you about the price. They look very similar to Plymouth hot cakes & the price is also close to their price BUT the Plymouth has 20% wool in it.

Thanks so much for you honest and informative yarn reviews.
Thank you Crystal for sharing your time with all of us. Enjoy all your videos 😊
Hi Crystal. I love the twilight & oyster colors. Thank you for letting us know.
I like the oyster color the best. I found the colors very close in color. Thank you for the reviews and working the yarn. Very helpful 😍
I like the heat wave, the marble, and the oyster and the twilight surf is pretty too.
Loved the Oyster color!!! So pretty. This review was outstanding! Loved seeing all the colors, how they crocheted and washed up. Thanks so much for sharing!!
Btw, was cracking up “sunset over a dirty pond” 😂😂😂
You’re the best!!
I appreciate your honesty. Thank you.
I agree with everything you said in this review. I received 2 cakes as a Christmas gift and it is basic. I’m not a fan of 100% acrylic so I’m using this on my pin loom to experiment with bias weaving. The color runs are too long for the 6 inch square loom. If the price was $6 I could give it a recommendation but at twice that, there are better options out there.
Thanks for the review, Chrystal.
I like the 2colors that you do. The others are so so at best. Thanks for checking them for us
I’m making a shawl out of the Oyster color right now. My daughter picked the yarn and colors. I was happy to see your review of how it washed up because I was a little worried as it feels a little “stiff” as I’m crocheting it. So I’m glad it will soften up when washed.

I like the Tropical Breeze, Bay and Heatwave colors.
I love all of these especially the twilight one for me. I have the heatwave and bay in my cart for my son's and husband's grapghan blankets as their background colors
I like the twilight surf and the bay and even though you would have to find the right project for it the tropical is nice too.
I really appreciate when you do these type of reviews. I was surprised that you rated this lower than the Blossom Cakes. I like the colors of the Cinnamon Swirl better than the Blossom Cakes. I think that most yarn companies make their yarn from the perspective of a knitter. They don’t consider that crochet takes more yarn and that the stripes need to be longer to color control.
Hi Crystal. Those cakes do look like several other brands for sure. I do like the colors. I do not like the price. I like oyster, Marble, tropical breeze, beach towel a lot,. Thank you for another great review!
Thank you so much Crystal for your great and honest review. It's a really pretty yarn, I like the twilight and bay colors. But they are much too expensive for me.
Colors......very similar to one another. Favorite would be Oyster with second favorite Heat Wave.
Another GREAT review!!!!! Thank you!!!
My favorite would be the heat wave as well. Very pretty.
I like the bay and the heat wave, many of them have more colors than I want combined.
Heatwave is my favorite, that’s why I got it just for the color way. I definitely agree with you though. Have a good evening!❤
Crystal thanks for another great yarn review of all the beautiful colors of yarn. I love the colors of blue and purple. Have a great day.
Honest review. I am glad I am not the only one who thinks Caron Cakes are OVERpriced.
Tropical Breeze and Heat Wave are my favorites!
they are all pretty ‘beachy’ colors..like this line better than the previous color line..again thanks for the great review!
Agree, as far as price. i liked the springtime is my favorite, but back to my frugal nature. Thanks for the review. Hugs.
My 1st choice color is Oyster then heatwave and last marble...didn't really care for any of the other colors. Thanks Crystal for sharing your thoughts on this yarn!
Heatwave is my favorite. The colors blend together well.
I loved spring time, and marble.
Love your reviews, love your honesty. I’m in the UK so these are not as readily available, but I do love most of the colours 👍
Thank you for reviewing the cinnamon cakes, Crystal. This cake series is really nothing that stands out. Heat Wave is the only one that actually stands out as different. I do like that one. But, once again, it's just so overpriced for the amount of yardage you get. I would rather get multiple solid colors and use them together than use one of these. At least you'll have the yardage and it would be way more cost effective.
Blessings!
