[@louisedery1049]

Not sure you have any idea how valuable this information is for us as consumers. We trust your opinion and your knowledge so for you to evaluate and compare these 2 products for us we know what to buy when. They both sound like great products for certain projects. Thank you for doing this video. I really appreciate it.

[@JaydaInStitches]

Hi Louise, we're happy to be helpful :) Individual opinions will always vary, but I certainly like both of these :)

[@zelliahwilson7050]

Awesome job

[@CydPiper]

Thank you Jayda for teaching me about other crochet things important to consider. I'm still learning crochet and find your video presentations clear, knowledgeable, and understandable which is very helpful to a visual learner like myself. X

[@JaydaInStitches]

Hi Cynthia, thank you very much :)

[@SoundYarnAndFibre]

Not sure if this was mentioned anywhere. But Caron and Bernat are made by the same company (Spinrite), they also make the Patons, Lily and Phentex yarn. :-) So they are bound to have similar styles of yarn in each line. :-)

[@Marie-or6hz]

Very helpful. I've just gotten into the use of cakes, and found this a huge help in my choices. Best to you and yours.

[@zeldanrj3]

I'm so glad you explained what 3 ply means.. Ive been crocheting a couple years and never thought to ask that question. LOVE YOUR CHANNEL ❤❤❤

[@JaydaInStitches]

Hi! Thank you so much for watching!

[@vegangelist]

I think they appear the same, looking at the strand, but the Pop is much denser and winds up having much less drape and works up looking much thicker. I think going up a hook size for the Pop is advisable in order to have a good drape. Also, the strand itself looks nicer in the Cakes vs the Pop (which I think look kinda "cheap"). I have no doubt that it is the wool that makes this difference.

[@JaydaInStitches]

Hi! Thank you for sharing your tips :)

[@Susan-lw8bu]

Thank you SO much for clarifying the difference between variegated and self-stripping yarns. I had no idea what an awesome affect can be achieved with self-stripping yarn. It really looks like it's been crocheted with several different colors of yarn! Your video is fantastic and now I can't wait to grab some of this yarn and make something gorgeous :)

[@JaydaInStitches]

Hi Susan, we're so pleased we could be helpful! Thank you for watching :)

[@nickie206]

Thank you Jayda! This is a very useful video for anyone wondering about the differences in each yarn. Always enjoy your tutorials, you make it very easy to follow along.x

[@JaydaInStitches]

Hi Joan! Thank you for watching :)

[@lkleyrer]

Thank you! As a beginner knitter I have so many questions about EVERYTHING! The information about something as basic as the positives and negatives of different yarns is invaluable. I'm already beginning to become something of a hoarder! I see colors or textures I love and buy it to "use in a project later". :) Now I'll have a better idea of what I should be looking for in the huge "cakes" of yarn. Great, clear explanation!

[@JaydaInStitches]

Hi Laura, Thank you for watching :)

[@shellinearmstrong7177]

It’s my great pleasure to watch you and yours. Thank you for being you! You are a special uplifting person and so informative. 😊 🤟

[@JaydaInStitches]

Hi Shelline, thank you so much for watching!

[@ladywolfe67]

I wish I had your level of energy and chipper news. Love your videos Mayra!

[@JaydaInStitches]

Thank you for watching! :)

[@vijayagauri7988]

Thank you for this very informative video. I am a comparitavely new crocheter and am always in awe of the many brands of yarn I always stick to the 8 and 4 ply acrylic yarns. Now I would like to diversify. Thank you again.

[@patricecooper8419]

Wow! I've just learned a lot from you! This is wonderful the way that you explain the difference between varigated yarn, and self-striped yarn! I think that I would enjoy talking with you! You have a great personality!!

[@JaydaInStitches]

Thank you for watching, Patrice :)

[@derekbriere]

I love your enthusiasm for yarn! People think I'm crazy when I get excited about a ball of twisted strands of fiber. (AKA: String, lol) Great information, and many thanks!

[@JaydaInStitches]

We're not crazy, we're passionate!! (although the line might be a bit thin sometimes LOL)

[@crystalmorrison-eastwood9764]

The only thing I dislike about the Caron Cakes is hand wash lay flat to dry, very important to tell someone when you give them a handmade item.

[@retagorman2589]

crystal morrison oh, thank you. I didn't know how to wash. Was given without wrapper.

[@wendelynyoung8609]

crystal morrison hi. I did wash n tumble dry CARON cakes the hats came out fine. They were a charity gift n I wanted to make sure washing wouldn't be anything extra.

[@melodymaben5917]

I put mine in the washer and dryer Doesn't hurt anything

[@crystalmorrison-eastwood9764]

Wendelyn Young I made the corner to corner baby blanket and it did shrink a bit and lost the shape I had to re wash it by hand and lay it out and block it to save it. You can wash it but I wouldnt recommend it just from my experience, you can but I guess the project and maybe my washer setting are just up to hi or something

[@melodymaben5917]

I use delicate settings and low heat Sorry yours shrunk :(

[@Lonniebelle1979]

I love your videos and have turned my auntie into them as well! We've both made a couple of your slipper patterns and they've all turned out FANTASTIC.

[@JaydaInStitches]

Hi! We're so pleased to hear that :) Thank you for watching!

[@angelastofflet3729]

Great video! Thanks for explaining things sooooo simply! You are really taking my crocheting to the next level!

[@paulaholland7817]

Hi I made the shawl in the Caron Cakes blue you are holding up it looks fantastic. I actually stopped the pattern to fit my granddaughter and she loves it

[@rosem6604]

Thanks for explaining self-striping vs. variegated, first of all. I'm a sucker for any color-changing yarn and so is hubby lol I always wonder why the weight of the skein is more important than yardage, which matters to me a lot more. After all, weight depends on the material, thicknes and the amount of yarn (yardage). That's why I always look at yardage when comparing yarns. I have Pop waiting to be used for a poncho gift. It's sooo soft and lovely, can't wait to use it! got lovely curtains from Caron cakes, which I looove. Thank you, Jayda!

[@JaydaInStitches]

Hi! Thank you for watching :)

[@hannarae4311]

The caron cakes came out really cool for scarves I made for Christmas last year! Really got a lot of nice compliments.

[@mrslyndon1984]

That was super helpful, thank you Jayda! I purchased a Carron Cake yesterday and can't wait to start using it!

[@JaydaInStitches]

Hi Debbie, I've really enjoyed using them!

[@mercrn1995]

Hi Jayda, thank you for that info. Very good to know. I have tried an acrylic/wool blend. I did not like it. It was difficult to work with. I was using double crochet for a simple scarf. I used the recommended crochet hook too. It may have been the quality of the yarn itself. It seemed like it wasn't spun well. I did contact Lion Brand company. They were gracious. But I won't buy that Scarfie yarn again. No matter there are lots of other yarns to choose from. My love of crocheting is growing :)

[@JaydaInStitches]

I haven't tried the Scarfie yarn yet, I'll have to see if I can find a ball, you've made me curious!

[@caraseggelke1733]

I thoroughly enjoy how informative your videos are!

[@JaydaInStitches]

Thank you, Cara :)

[@mariagaldamez2564]

Thanks for sharing your video and for telling us about the different functions of the types of 🧶 “ brands “ Because this is good to “ know “ to prevent shrinking or drooping or causing the stitch pattern to get all Stretched “ out “

[@deborahmclane7625]

Thanks so much for this video!. I didn't know about the differences between verigated and self striping. Now I can't wait to use this yarn!

[@JaydaInStitches]

Hi Deborah, so glad we could help! Thank you for watching :)

[@TuulaMaaria]

Lots of people seem to be using these yarns. Haven't noticed if they are available in Europe. I don't normally use yarns with so much acrylic content but might be nice to try them once!

[@princesslizzie64]

Crochet and Knitting with Tuula Maaria they seem to be quite available in the Uk, Hobbycraft definitely have them!

[@princesslizzie64]

[@lydiahall5801]

Thank you for the comparison. I'm getting ready to recommend self stripping yarn to someone for an Afghan and now I can be more in informative when I'm asked about the differences.

[@JaydaInStitches]

Hi Lydia, I like either of these particular brands for blanket making, but I will say the POP can go in the washing machine (if that's a consideration for your friend!) Thank you for watching :)

[@lydiahall5801]

Jayda InStitches That's good to know. I think I'll use the POP yarn for my granddaughter, who's away at college, so that she'll be able to take care of it without any problem. Thanks for the info.

[@GaminGawdess]

I was wandering the pros and cons. Thank you, these cakes make me want cake every time I see them. Lol!!!

[@JaydaInStitches]

LOL They do look good enough to eat!

[@chronicstitcher7933]

Thanks for the review. My local Walmart just started carrying the Pop and I was hesitant to buy. I think I will try it now.

[@traceyminton2547]

Thanks for your help with different types of wool. I ordered some carob cake from wool warehouse around 8.00 pound plus p&p

[@beckyg4822]

Thanks for sharing Jayda. I recently bought some of the Lion Brand Mandala yarn, another self striping yarn. My Walmart had it for $4 (instead of $9.99 retail) and it quickly sold out. It's size 3, 100% acrylic and 150 gram skein. The colors are beautiful in those as well.

[@JaydaInStitches]

Hi Becky! WOW what a lucky find!! We can't get Mandala yarn here in Canada yet * sigh *. We even contacted them to see if they were planning on selling it up here and they said "yes" but no set delivery date yet. I'm hoping that Canadian Walmarts will start carrying it soon!

[@laurelgirard8475]

Becky G I also bought Mandala yarn. I couldn’t resist the beautiful colors! It is a bit harder to use, though, being a 3 weight, but the results are worth it!

[@sunnyisfictional]

I have that, too, as well as Bernat Pop. I got them for my 12th birthday from my friend. I'm planning on using Bernat for a big blanket for my grandma's friend with Parkinsons (I'm hoping it'll make her happy!), and Mandala for a different project for the same woman.

[@lifeofaimee6259]

looking forward to see what you create with those colours Jayda!

[@JaydaInStitches]

Ohmygosh me too! :)

[@Rennagayle]

Thank you for this very informational video. I bought two cakes of Caron Cakes on sale at Michael's here in the states last year for about $5.99 each. I had no specific purpose for it other than I was curious about it. I made a small hat, and a matching cowl out of one for a gift (and still have leftovers). After seeing your pretty crocheted shawl, I'm thinking I may use the other one for that. I haven't yet tried the Bernat Pop.

[@JaydaInStitches]

Hi Renna, I used 1.5 Cakes for the shawl, just in case you want to start and don't have enough yarn!

[@marriedlady104]

need to learn a elephant lovely

[@janisjohns-ensing1187]

Renna Hanlon ń

[@NJNUNEZ]

I've bought Caron cakes "Sprinkle Cakes" 3 times now and I am in love with it, I always prefer #5 or #6 in weight....

[@Essemm_k]

Renna Hanlon W

[@werewolfbitevictim]

Of course I JUST bought some Bernat POP and came home and saw this. I wish I had this before shopping but look forward to learning about my yarn. :)

[@JaydaInStitches]

* giggle * On the bright side, the Bernat Pop is 100% acrylic, so whatever you make with it will be machine washable!

[@lindashook712]

Thanks,Jayda. i have been using the Caron Cakes. love them. i havent purchased a Bernat Pop. we have them at our WalMart. just havent purchased. will soon. Gotta use some of my Caron cakes. again thank you. have a great day.

[@JaydaInStitches]

Hi Linda, I've got lots of skeins to use up too before I do more shopping ;)

[@vickymanning7312]

It has been fun crocheting with self stripping yarn.I have sweet roll.by premier 100% axryclic 245 yds.I will try the others.Thanks for keeping us updated.You are awesome.Happy Crocheting

[@lailashiblaq5681]

Thanks for this piece of useful information. Your channel has always been very helpful to me in my journey of learning crochet . Thanks again. 😀

[@JaydaInStitches]

Hi Laila, that's so nice to hear :) thank you for watching!

[@SusanPitman]

I learned a lot about yarn by watching this video! I’ve been crocheting for years and haven’t heard someone explain “size 4” before. I’ll have to go look at the labels on my yarn now! I also didn’t realize Caron cakes had a small wool content; but thinking about it’s feel now (I made a blanket with it about a year ago) it makes sense. By the way, you’re a joy to listen to, and I subscribed! ☺️

[@JaydaInStitches]

Hi Susan, welcome to the big crafty family and thank you for watching!

[@FaithRichFidler]

I am currently working on a Crochet Ten-Stitch blanket using the Bernat Pop, colorway Foggy Notion. I'm about 8 skeins into it, and have 5 skeins left. It will be bed-size when I'm done, so that two people can get under it just fine. It's pretty heavy and warm.

[@JaydaInStitches]

That sounds like quite the project! I bet it will be simply beautiful when you're finished :)

[@pamheath2864]

Hi Jayda! Thanks for the Compare & Contrast video on those two beautiful yarn products! One thing to note is the washing instructions for the Caron Cakes is different in that it needs to be dried laying flat due to the wool content whereas the Bernat POP can be put in the dryer. I've never tried self-striping yarn before and wondered if it's difficult to choose a pattern to obtain the desired effect of stripes that happen randomly throughout rows or stripes that are happening evenly at the end of rows...?

[@JaydaInStitches]

Hi Pam, yes! Because one is a wool blend, it definitely effects the washing and drying :) I find plain patterns and big projects (blankets, pillows, ponchos, sweaters, etc) make a great canvas to showcase self-striping yarn :)

[@pamheath2864]

Jayda InStitches Thank you! I'm gonna try it!

[@MsAuraMatic]

Thank you for this video. I always get so inspired by your love of yarns.

[@JaydaInStitches]

Hi Aura, thank you for watching!

[@ruthkaplan5539]

I tried to make a scarf with Bernat Pop last year and was very disappointed with the feel of the yarn. It was very stiff with no drape in an open stitch. I used a stitch from a stitch pattern book but had to alter it to have matching edges (1 side had a single dc but the other side did not) so I redid the scarf several times before I abandoned it. I haven't used the Caron cake yet but it feels much softer in the ball.

[@leticiaortiz3908]

love the caron cake haven't try the bernart pop yet can't wait to get some and try it thank you Jayda

[@JaydaInStitches]

Hi Leticia, thank you for watching!

[@sairahshabeer8597]

Your videos are full of positive energy.

[@JaydaInStitches]

Thank you, Sairah :)

[@porkchopswife]

Thanks very much for your video. I've been very satisfied with the Caron Cakes, but haven't tried Bernat Pop yet.

[@mamabenzing5872]

Thanks. I didn't know where to find the Caron cakes other than online, but I've seen the Beranat pops at Walmart.

[@JaydaInStitches]

Hi Amanda, so far the only place I've found the Caron Cakes is Michaels (I think they carry it exclusively) but I think you can also order them on line :)

[@siusaidhchaimbeul5499]

Thanks - very useful. Have used the Caron product (because of the wool component) but not the Bernat. I like the long lengths between colour changes, but find the transitions too sudden. Presumably in this regard Bernat is the same as Caron.

[@sandynorlock4056]

Jayda I enjoy all of your tutorials, I have learned so much from you. Thank you

[@JaydaInStitches]

Hi Sandy, thank you :)

[@danielleracineracine1318]

Thank you! I was always wondering the differents.Always my favorite. 😊👍

[@fluxybaby337]

This video gave me a better understanding to this two products, thanks for sharing, i only wish you showed a project with the bernat yarn so i could properly see d difference in how the color formulates, regardless still very helpful thank you.

[@paulaholland7817]

Hi Jayda, I made that shawl but stopped after it would fit my granddaughter it was in that blue Caron cake yarn and she just loved it. By the way I made a long change from the yarn and made a tie for the shawl I twisted it inyyo the last row and I thought looks great Thanks for all you info Paula from Boston

[@JaydaInStitches]

Hi Paula, your shawl sounds like it turned out beautifully :)

[@JustFluffyQuiltingYarnCrafts]

Thanks for sharing. I learned of Caron Cakes long before I noticed the Bernat Pops. It was good to see them compared side by side.

[@mariepla1370]

I'm allergic to wool, so that makes my decisions on what yarn to buy. I haven't use the self stripping yarns yet. I'll have to buy some. Thanks for sharing

[@JaydaInStitches]

Thank you for watching :)

[@angaramacrafts8564]

Wow... that took the fear out of wasting $ ...NOW I`m ready to buy some. 😁I really appreciate your help!!! THAAANKS!! 🤗 ang

[@lilianahorjea8183]

Thank you Jayda for your prompt response🌸

[@louisedery1049]

After this video, I went out and purchased Caron Cake big cakes. WoW beautiful. I crocheted a Chevron afghan using 2 strands of yarn with an "M" size hook. I used one light Caron cake shade of blue and one dark Caron cake if I can send you a pick let me know where to your FB or Twitter? this made a beautiful afghan that I gave away for a gift. I had to buy more to do it again... I highly recommend it.

[@JaydaInStitches]

Hi Louise, that sounds so pretty! We are on Twitter :) @jaydainstitches :)

[@barbniantic]

Great video....answered all my questions these two yarns! Because of this video I have subscribed....I am a loom knitter.

Hi Darchel, thank you for watching!

[@michelecallich8031]

Thank you Jayda! I haven't tried either but,have been curious.So,now I will try one !

[@pennyfoster7057]

I thoroughly enjoyed this video. You were to the point and enthusiastic about what you were saying....and not the least bit boring. I suspected the pricing has something to do with the size skeins and you have confirmed that....thanks.

[@JaydaInStitches]

Hi Penny, Thank you so much for watching :)

[@pranatis12]

Hi Jayda!!..very nice review..!!..I love Caron Cares..have done a Poncho and few Shawls...love the colors..!!..I've seen Barnat Pop but have not work with it....thank you for this tutorial !!

[@martadominguez5826]

I recommend when you purchase to buy enough at once to complete your project

[@JaydaInStitches]

Always, always, always!!

[@elizabethcarpentier7533]

I am buying CARON Cake at Wal-mart for Only $4.99 !!! 👏👏👏 I will keep using that brand... Thank you for your recomendations!!! Greetings from Arizona!!! 🙌💕

[@MsMuhammad19]

Elizabeth Carpentier .. what Walmart are you going to? I'm in Arizona as well and so far I've only seen Caron cakes at Michael's

[@kerriwolfton3195]

Elizabeth Carpentier its at Michaels only ( Caron Cakes) it’s store exclusive.

[@elizabethcarpentier7533]

Lol... 😝 You are right! I checked to be sure and what I got at Wal-mart is Lions Brand Mándala.. they look do similar.. 👌 Thank you for the observation! 🙌 Greetings!!!

[@elizabethcarpentier7533]

Paula Muhammad Is not Va Cake, is Mándala from Lions Brand what I got, but is also soft and pretty colors. 🙌 Greetings!

[@NJNUNEZ]

How nice, I've been ordering it on line and it's $7.99 at Michael's, thanks for posting that.

[@the1_grammy503]

Hi! This is the first video of you that I have seen. You did an outstanding job explaining and comparing the 2 yarn cakes. I have not used a self striping yarn yet. I really haven't seen a color combination that I like. I think both Caron and Bernat need to take a trip to the hardware or paint story and realize that most of their colors are from the 60's-80's. So they seem really dated to me. But one of these days I'm going to bite the bullet and buy a cake. Thanks for all of the information. I really do appreciate it.

[@JaydaInStitches]

lol, some of these colour combinations are a little odd, I agree! I have found a few though, especially the rainbow ones or a few that are monochromatic that I really like :)

[@taykanumbr]

OMG Thank you soooo much for ALL this information! I always wonder about the worsted weight part as ALL patterns refer to it. You are my newly found HERO now lol Well done and thank you so much for all that you do here

[@JaydaInStitches]

Hi Sheila, we're so glad we could help! Thank you for watching :)

[@heatherface1]

I just wanted to say thank you very much for this video. It was really insightful and I really enjoyed it. Thanks

[@JaydaInStitches]

Hi Heather, thank you for watching :)

[@wam0357]

informed decision. Exactly what I needed before investing heavily in a mosaic project.

[@traceyminton2547]

Hi yet again it's me. Just to say a great big thank you for showing me the caron wool it's so nice and easy to work with. I have got three cakes but I have just ordered 9 cakes so I make a beautiful pattern that I have seen. Thanks again Tracey from chorley Lancashire uk

[@JaydaInStitches]

Oooh, I'd be super excited when that package arrived!

[@traceyminton2547]

Jayda InStitches yes I can't wait I will show you the blanket when it's finished. 😀

[@rachelnelson5608]

I'd like to know if it's possible to crochet your pink top with a bit of puffy ruffles at the shoulder??? @Jada InStitches

[@u.s.n.retired1995]

I`ve used both and I like using Caron Cakes over the Bernat Pop. To me Caron is softer, making it easier to work with. Berant Pop is not consistent, some skeins are nice and soft and others aren`t which is strange and off putting. Both have lovely colors to choose from. Thanks for your review.

[@JaydaInStitches]

Hi Valincia, thank you for sharing :)

[@nitawhitmore3578]

Hi Jayda! I may have missed it in your video, but Caron Cakes yarn has to be handwashed and layed flat to dry. Darn. Their colors are so pretty!

[@JaydaInStitches]

Hi Nita, it's true, anything with wool in it should always be handwashed!

[@kellishahabenjamin5926]

Wow this was very very informative to me because i shop on Amazon a lot and they got those super small bonbons that i nearly purchased. I instead ordered some shawls in a cake but i was looking at the Caron cake and the bernat pops and thinking hmm should i buy this or not. So now i know what to buy and what to run away from! Thank you soo much for this video!!

[@JaydaInStitches]

Hi Kellisha, we're happy to be helpful :) Thank you for watching!

[@charlottehyatt9601]

I thought those Bonbons were a great deal . . till I checked the weight.)-: Watch out for words you haven't heard before.

[@pollya6412]

I've made a pretty V shaped shawl, with 4 skeins of Bernat Pop,in birch bark and blue. Started at bottom,with a double V stitch. Wal-Mart $5.each,in California. Purchasing another skein,online,for $6.to make a nice border or fringe,IDK. Took me a week already. The color changing,makes me want to get to the next color..lol. Nice yarn. Want to make more things with wool,I love it. Crocheted this project with a J hook.

[@jlee294]

Very timely, this video. I am working on a giant granny square afghan using Caron Cakes. Red Velvet color. And I just bought two Bernat Cakes, They are Bernat BLANKET. Color Berry Basket. I went nuts in the yarn section at Joann's yesterday. Bought about 5 other skeins and two that were only $1.97. :) And two books. Everything was on sale excepts the books. Did get a discount on the books . YAAAAYYYYY me lol. Have you done videos on front and back post stitches or waffle stitch? I stopped by your shop and bought two patterns a couple weeks ago too with my real name of course. :) Thanks for all you do in sharing your talent. Have a great rest of the week. See you Friday. Take care, jlee (Janet W)

[@JaydaInStitches]

Hi Janet! I've seen the Bernat Blanket cakes, but I haven't purchased one yet (wow are they gorgeous!). Sounds like you got a great haul!! Thank you for the video suggestions and especially thank you for popping into our Etsy shop and doing some shopping, we really appreciate the support! :)

[@jlee294]

Your welcome. And I just HAD to pop back in here. I was watching a few of your 'Quick Tip' videos. Oh my gosh! You just crack me up. I came to the end of your Alternative Stuffing Options video almost died laughing. Your 'Stuffing Dance' was so unexpected and fun. I actually Laughed Out Loud. Thank you for your enthusiasm and your fun way of sharing your talent with everyone. Take care, jlee xx

[@teresawalters5729]

I love that shawl I have made it a few times I used the Caron cake and it turned out fantastic

[@UzmaKhan-yo2kg]

At the start.. I didn't like your style but now i am used to... Happy Jayda... I like you

[@1995Conservative]

Unless I have a reason not to I usually always go cheaper with my yarn so therefore I always will probably get the Bernat Pop skeins however if I ever seen Carron Cakes on Sale I will probably buy then too. Either way these types of skeins are so fun to craft with! Thanks for the video Jayda! As always!

[@JaydaInStitches]

Hi! Thank you for watching :)

[@Attikisses]

Thank you, this was very helpful. Greatly appreciate your videos and patterns. Your tutorials are very easy to follow...love your tips.

[@PsykoSkittlez]

Another great video, Jayda! I haven't used either one yet as Caron Cakes are a Michael's exclusive and I can only get them online and I haven't bought yarn at Wal-Mart in a while but I plan to soon since I have a bunch of Fall projects I want to put on Etsy. I have used the JoAnn equivalent called Sweet Rolls and they're amazing. They're smaller than the Caron Cakes and Bernat Pop. They're also about the same thickness but they're more similar to the Bernat Pop when it comes to fibers used and the price. I hope you make more projects using them 😁

[@JaydaInStitches]

Hi Jonathan, thank you :) I saw some Sweet Rolls the other day, but haven't picked any up yet, they're adorable too!

Thank you Jada.

[@marieking-stevason1775]

I bought Bernat POP, (Blue Blaze & Hot Chocolate) I'm making a corner to corner baby blanket in blue. (Hot Chocolate is for me!)

[@janeysmith2729]

Thank you Jayda. I would love to know the washing instructions for each brand please.

[@JaydaInStitches]

Hi Janey, it's always a good idea to follow the washing instructions on the label of the yarn you purchase, but when in doubt, treat everything like it might be wool and hand wash in cool water and lay flat to dry :) If it's 100% acrylic (like the POP) you can machine wash in cool water and machine dry on light heat!

How the colors landed in that shawl were NOT intentional? That's amazing! What I like about these "cakes" is you set them on the floor or table and it doesn't move as you use the yarn. No flopping about or getting tangled!

Hi Lizzie, they do unravel rather neatly from the middle :) The striping has worked out very nicely in the projects I've used the for so far! It's fun to work with!

Hi Jayda this was great information that i appreciate learning from you!!! ❤ your tutorials!

[@JaydaInStitches]

Hi Valentina, thank you for watching!

Jayda to make a throw adult size the pattern calls for at least 3 pounds of yarn. The size is 40 by 60 inches How many.skeins of either of bernat pop or caron cakes would that size of afghan or bigger require

[@jolenelarson469]

Thank you, Jayda, very informative. I have made shawls and scarves out of Caron cakes but have not tried the Bernat. I also want to try the Premier Sweet Roll yarn, have you tried that? It is 100% acrylic like the Bernat.

[@JaydaInStitches]

Hi Jolene, I've seen the sweet rolls recently, but haven't picked any up yet (need to use up the skeins I have LOL)!

I'm currently obsessed with the neon shades of Red Heart Stripes line, I forget the name of the one I'm doing in a c2c but its almost a rainbow, minus a blue shade. But the pink/orange/yellow/green/violet/purple/black is my life!

[@JaydaInStitches]

I love those skeins too! They're SO fun!

[@peggypyles3564]

[@JaydaInStitches]

Hi Laura, I haven't seen Caron Cakes at walmart! Wow! What a great find!

[@adamm.6386]

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! This answered so many of my questions I had about yarn, in general.

[@JaydaInStitches]

Hi Adam, we're so pleased we could be helpful :)

[@laurelgirard8475]

Thank you for the video. I love Bernat pop! To be honest, I haven’t tried Caron Cakes because I am allergic to wool, but I would gladly try it if it were 100% acrylic! Both have gorgeous color striping.

[@JaydaInStitches]

HI Laruel, Caron Cakes recently came out with some different versions that are all acrylic (just check the labels) - they're cheaper too!

[@laurelgirard8475]

Jayda InStitches ooh thank you! I didn’t know that. I’ll certainly look next time I’m out👍

[@michellelareau5023]
