NEW Caron Yarn Review Colorama Halo Yarn

[@TziporaRaphaella]

Crystal, you need to make shirts (next animal shelter fundraiser idea?) that say “Crystal/ Bag-O-Day made me do it!” So I can wear it to Joann’s to buy this yarn I was hoping I wasn’t going to want but now need. 😂

[@barbarasd1196]

Chrystal, there is a reason you have 889k followers - your yarn reviews are so thorough and honest. Thank you for the time you spent giving us such a complete review of the Caron yarns.

[@maryjones1]

Thank you for such a thorough review. Lucky me, I happened to peruse the yarn at Walmart today, and saw this one colour on sale. I live in Canada, and the regular price is $12.97. I got it for $3.00, on clearance. I bought all six. The colour is ‘Silver and Gold’. It feels so soft, and the colours are silver, light yellow, and deep yellow/gold. 😊

[@donnabrown2886]

I bought the rose frost in the O’Go form. I made an infinity scarf, fingerless gloves, and a hat. All from 1 donut.

[@TheDudeCHT]

You’re not helping my yarn hoarding 😢.

[@gloriawhite1078]

😂😂

[@bylindalawrence5943]

Hoarding.....I have enough sock yarn....not talking about the rest...I can make 42 pair of socks and never repeat a color! So now I am making c2c baby blankets for what seems like half the country! Shall we start a club?

[@kbmightmight518]

Ditto

[@TziporaRaphaella]

Same. I’m not a big fan of halo yarn but gosh I love a good smooth ombré and I’ve always loved Caron cakes. I was hoping I wasn’t going to need this one. Looks like I do. 😂

[@gracejohnston2692]

I just spent 300$ on yarns on clearance on sale! Its Crystals fault

[@maryklenewski7190]

Wonderful yarn review! I like when you include the wash and dry test. It’s so helpful knowing. The frogging test as well. Thank you Crystal.

[@bjbaar3]

Another cake to try! 😂

[@AnaNicole1225]

Thank you, Crystal. Joann has this yarn on sale, but I needed to know more about it and like ✨️ MAGIC ✨️ "Ask and you shall RECEIVE"... I knew that you would have a tutorial on this yarn. We are so lucky.

[@amydavis4945]

OMG a **real** ombre... in a fuzzy yarn!! Okay, I can forgive the fact that a certain *other* ombre never made it to the store shelves now, LOL!!! (Not that I was holding a grudge or anything!) This yarn is amazing and .... oh gosh I'm gonna have to buy some even though I swore (to myself) I wasn't buying any more yarn until I emptied out a couple bins. My yarn room overfloweth!!! But I can't pass this up!! I've been making TONS of child-size ponchos (from your tutorials) to sell at a Fall Festival we have around here in October. I think these colors would be awesome for little ponchos!! Thank you SO MUCH for showing these! 💜💜💜

[@alissagonzales735]

I also promised myself not to buy anymore until I used up some of the yarn. So I will just quietly give some of my yarn to the senior center ladies for their crocheting circle. Then I can buy that yarn and not feel guilty because they make baby and childrens blankets and donate them.

[@doriweishaar4901]

Hi Crystal 👋 I guess they listened to you about the cakes lol Beautiful colors ! I like the halo effect for certain projects & the frosts are so pretty ! Thanks for sharing your haul ! Now I really wish I had an Adi machine ! Lol Be well 🦋

[@darquequeen]

I found myself digging through my stash, and found some beautiful Caron cakes yarn I completely forgot I had. The temptation for new yarn is so strong!

[@hoosierhometeam]

I immediately thought I'd make my granddaughters ponchos with this! They will love them! I can't wait to make them!!

[@denisehoffmann5006]

I really like that yarn . It is so soft and works up beautifully. I am a sucker for a good ombre. I need all the colors in my life .

[@oldmomma56]

The only problems with these terrific yarn reviews is it stimulates my imagination for projects I may never have the time to make up!! For sure these cakes make me want to do a warm, fuzzy wrap of some kind or even a throw to wrap up in!❤❤

[@annetteolson2428]

Halo = fuzz hanging off it. I love the desciption!! That's why I watch you!! I like the down to earth descriptions and explinations.

[@nannyscrochetcorner-lottie6215]

Love those cakes just wish they weren't so expensive. Best ombre I've ever seen.

[@marysaleman9760]

Crystal, you are an amazing commentator. You are so thorough. I really look up to you for your opinions and ideas. Especially when making gifts, I want the best quality and beautiful yarn. And nowadays because being a senior citizen on a limited income, most of us can't be very frugal with our money. Thank you again Crystal.

[@BAGODAYCROCHET]

Thank you so much 🤗

[@kezzaobee1462]

I agree with you 100%

[@K.McDowell]

Awesome job with the ombre! I agree, perfect phasing. Now if they could do that in a 3 weight and 4 weight acrylic ,Red Heart Ombre would have some competition..and I'd be broke, lol ❤❤❤😂😊

[@sandielovescrocheting8300]

Hi Crystal. Such beautiful colors. I love how it is a gradual change of colors and no lines. Thank you for your honest review.

[@judymckinstry8130]

I have never seen an ombre' that nice. Loved all the colors! Thank you for the review!

[@cherylvogt5508]

I've made many sweaters with colorama halo using the lemon peel stitch!!! absolutely love it

[@Kieancreations]

Bees 🐝 I am obsessed with all things bees and hexagons! This was my first time seeing your channel. But I really love teals and cream colors. Thanks for sharing

[@jodiewilcox6772]

I absolutely appreciate you going the extra mile in knitting AND crocheting the yarn, along with washing and drying samples. That really helps the consumers! Thanks for giving us all the details. They are such colorful beauties. We can't wait to see what you make with the yarn.

[@PatricesProjects]

I was doing so good at not buying yarn for the past several months except for yarn for specific projects. I love those yarns.

[@marlenataylor8758]

Absolutely gorgeous, I just found the perfect yarn for one of my 11 afghans for my family Christmas gifts. It would be for the one who is extremely special to me. Not saying who.

[@noreenlou]

The ombré is so lovely and the fuzz after washing seems to make it cozier.

[@knitpurlsquirrelwithgrannydee]

Oh Lawdy, I have 2 of each of that yarn in the O’Go form, but now I want the other colors in the cake! Gorgeous! I agree that the ombrés are pretty much perfect! Love them all! Thanks!

[@LadyDee150]

Every color is that yarn is beautiful. They all look so warm and fluffy. Makes me want to give them each a squeeze lol🤩

[@MaryAnnMakes]

Well.... i hope this is around for a bit.... just bought some mill ends today....LOL!. That is some beautiful yarn from Caron.... moves to the top of wish list!

[@patriciabeauregard9971]

Hi. Crystal. Nice. To. See. You. Today. Thank. You. For. Showing. This. Yarn. Its. Beautiful. _

[@kimberlyaustin6677]

Ooohhhh I remember when Crystal got the O'Go Colorama Halo and caked it herself. Glad the company now caking it for sale. They're very pretty. 😊

[@gigiswarmthcrochet6287]

I crocheted several items with this yarn and I love it! Gave gifts and all are still well received and loved! Saved some to make myself a blanket next winter! Paid doorbuster prices of 5.99 or 6.99. Well worth it, love!!! 💗🎯👍👏👏👏

[@MarnysCrochetandCrafts]

They are all pretty, but if I had to pick a favorite, it would be the one with the olive green in the middle. I wish there were more choices of greens.

[@itspixel2841]

I agree! Hardly any green yarn options, it makes me very sad.

[@JeMy569]

I was thinking the exact thing…. LOVE the fuzzy soft gradient look of this yarn( price is not so great..😢) but really wish there were some green shades to choose from( lots of blue, but no green..😢). I hope they keep this yarn around!

[@barbheggen7434]

Love them better as a cake form . What a beautiful ombré. Thank you for the video.

[@jennifercarpenter76]

I really like the way it goes from dark to light. So pretty

[@suejarrard2221]

I can't wait to go to the store so that I can find this yarn to feel it. The colors are beautiful.

[@carol-annmatthew5296]

I love love love the green and the grey Ombre. The halo is beautiful. Thanks for your very valued opinion Crystal. Keep well from a freezing cold south africa 🇿🇦 it's 7 degrees Celsius this morning 😊

[@shellybucci3196]

That yarn is very nice it seems and I always like to see what you think about yarns. Thank you for reviewing this yarn and letting us see it and how you feel about it and how it works up. It is very appreciated. Crystal have a Wonderful blessed day.❤️

[@lydiaberg5392]

Crystal I cannot wait to hear your yarn review on the Caron coloramo Halo cakes? Really like the magenta and Mandarin! Amber ocean is gorgeous! Beat writers also beautiful! I think all of the colorways are gorgeous! It's really hard to pick my favorite.

[@micheleruhe7362]

Blue Stone Frost is what I used to make a full blanket last year in the O-Go style. It is still magnificent and looks like stone washed denim. Washes well. Only used a air dry. The owner comments often, "How did you change the colors like that?" It is ombre stripped because I just finished it by adding another skein. It took 7. I used a 7mm hook to make it drape more. The cakes would be easier to work with, for sure because I could color control the blanket without fighting with the way the old version came off the spaghetti sized spool. I frogged the thing many times, with no issues and no knots. It's a winner!

[@danamcmanus]

That's the prettiest yarn I've seen in a long time. Thanks Crystal 💘

[@Emily-pn1rg]

Wow, that may be the best ombre yarn I've ever seen! They seem to be focusing a lot on blue variations which I'm not complaining about because I love blue

[@pattiripley7599]

The yarn company hears and listens. Now in cake form. Awesome

[@rootsrocksfeathers1975]

These gradiants and ombres are sheer perfection in the way they have created the super subtle color changes! Gorgeous!

[@billiejohopp1559]

Wow! You are correct that’s gradually to a T! I love it.

[@peggyhuntley2368]

It's beautiful hope they keep it and add some darker colors like fall colors or black to gray or red to black, but love the pastels too

[@bluerosecrystalsoul]

I am not disappointed about ANYTHING regarding this yarn - I'll be adding it to my Birthday wishlist!! 🤗💝🧶

[@helensnay9964]

I can’t buy yarn without touching it just… now I’m on a mission to find it in stores because I love the one in this! Thanks for showing this to us!

[@liap1293]

The Rosemary is beautiful! Perfect gradients!

[@janetboyer23]

Wow Caron!! Don’t know how yarn could get much better than this!! The seamlessness of these ombrés and gradients is phenomenal!! How do they DO that!! Thanks for the review Crystal!! Honestly ,you should be an advisor for the yarn companies! You could save them from trying ideas that won’t work!! ❤️🥰❤️

[@mycrochetstory7169]

I love that halos from last year and I was so hoping that they would come out with the cakes....tadah!!!!! lookie here. I think the Caron Gods heard you. As always, thanks for a great review!!!

[@queenoftheworld1]

Those ombré and gradients are perfection.

[@cherb_soco1891]

Me talking to myself "You do not need more yarn. You do NOT need more...OOOOOH LOOK! Caron cakes! 😍🤩😍🤩" Thanks for another great review, Crystal

[@claratrujillo1206]

Crystal thanks for the yarn review all the beautiful colors of yarn. Have a wonderful day.♥️

[@dianaceciliaarlandini5252]

OMG!!!! I would love to buy them all but there´s no Caron in my country (Argentina), even on line would be difficult because of the taxes. People enjoy that beauty!!!!! Crystal, I enjoy your videos so much!

[@audreyproctor4045]

Hi Crystal. W🧶W! Thank-you very much for this yarn review. I have mountains of yarn, purchased with good intentions, that I will fulfill if I can just live, crochet & knit for another 50 years, but THIS YARN!, oh my goodness. I must get some. It is gorgeous. I just completed a twisted snood out of a Caron Latte ‘Claret’ cake. I have had it for 2 years. I love it. But now? I must get some Caron Colorama Halo. I can’t decide which, maybe 2 of each would be nice. A gorgeous soft pink sweater for my granddaughter out of pink, and beautiful scarves for my daughters. Your video gave me a multitude of ideas. Thank-you again. Love, Audrey. ❤🇨🇦.

[@unicornL]

Im glad you cleared up whether or not these are itchy. I usually miss new releases, because I'm a newby w yarns/crochet. That said- i love your outfit today..thank you for your awesome reviews as well as your tutorials- making my baby the Sesame Street blanket you made- but w all 9 characters.

[@routinesanddogs8922]

I was shocked at how easily you were able to frog with that yarn. I thought for sure it would get hung up. I really want to try it out now. Thank you, as always, for a wonderfully informative review. 😊

[@mjp362]

I made an afghan with this in o go form, I think I would love the cake form better! The afghan turned out pretty, I used a c2c, starting with dark to light, then light to dark etc, ending in dark. I absolutely love it as is came out softer after washing. Oh, man, I have to go shopping now!

[@Microplancakes]

There’s something about those fuzzies I really like!! I think it could make an amazing hoodie!!!

[@themommymagic]

I have loved these yarns for their great ombré I have used these exclusively on your pattern of poncho with sleeves. People love them but now with more yardage I can make so much more. I was hoping they came out with more and they did. Love love love them!

[@ruthjohnson8651]

Thanks Crystal for showing us these colors🤗

[@mommaknowsbestakagwen4028]

Hiya Crystal hope you're having fun. I enjoy looking at yarn too

[@bonniealbright6747]

Wow the color changes in those cakes is great. Very pretty. Thanks Crystal

[@judyhock5422]

They did a beautiful job with their ombres! I believe they are my favorites!

[@missangie1562]

This yarn is Soo pretty. I wish I could afford to buy this yarn and make myself a blanket out of it to cuddle with. Yarn prices are out the roof now. Thank you for sharing Crystal as always. ❤❤❤

[@nerdmom6]

I would never be able to say what is my favorite. They are gorgeous

[@hoosierhometeam]

I just got mine today and OMG!!! I absolutely love this yarn! I had become a bit of a yarn snob and got spoiled using some very high quality natural fibers, but my oh my... this is no ordinary acrylic. I crocheted a swatch, but decided pretty quickly that I should knit with it. I am now obsessed with it. I'm not a very good knitter yet, but this yarn is very forgiving and looks and feels like a dream. I do hope you can bring us a great crochet project with it though. I do feel much more confident crocheting. I bought 3 of the tin & tan hoping to make a sweater. Guess I better hit your stitch tutorials Playlist and see what I can come up with.

[@LlamaMamaKayla]

They are ALL beautiful!!! 💙

[@paulinepitcavage7340]

Beautiful looking yarn, something I am certainly going to have to try. Thank you for your thoughts on it. I am always glad to hear your comments.

[@m-astewart8448]

Beautiful yarn, the color change is so subtle. Love it.

[@SylviaSawyer-oh9mx]

I am 83 and I love to watch you with the yarn wish I could buy it like youdo

[@rebupc]

I like the OGo form. I know a lot of people don’t. But I have noticed that cakes can collapse and you can’t always move around with them. But the OGos stay in the correct shape and unwind without tangling all the way down to the bottom. But cakes are prettier to look at :-) either way, this is a great yarn! I am currently working on a project for my daughter. :-)

[@kimbarnes7901]

not only is it seamless but to be able to replicate it over and over is amazing! I love your reviews although my bank manager and the hubby aren't so keen 🤣🤣

[@patriciajones243]

I went to Joann's and bought a few cakes. Omg, its beautiful yarn and i made a scarf from one of your videos. It was a wrap with a Caron latte cake you made. Very beautiful yarn.

[@kaitlynfoxdale7132]

I have to say your yarn reviews help me chose which yarns I want to crochet with. These new yarns by caron are the best they have come up with so far. I have bought several colors that I fell in love with. I am currently crocheting a blanket using this yarn (Magenta/Mandarin) and it works up beautifully. Thank you so much for all you do for all of us in the crochet community!

[@tonyaregan6473]

Crystal, my Joann Fabric store had the O'Go form of the Caron Colorama Halo in the Clearance section for $4.97. 481 yards. Cranberry Frost. I had to get it since I learned about it from you! I feel so well informed! Thanks!

[@jenreeves7684]

I love the look of those colors! Especially all the blues 💙

[@sovichlinros6093]

You have all the nice yarn in this world ❤ . You are the best teacher and thanks u for your hard work 💗 and I watch your KZbin video every day.

[@buskylover2023]

I just picked the Sea & Sky up at Joann's. It was on clearance for $6.97. This is some of the softest yarn❤

[@egoreknits]

I love this yarn. The ombre is flawless. I think that's my favorite thing about this yarn. I love the Quran latte cakes and if they had an ombre in the Caren latte takes that would win. However, I really like this yarn for the ombre and the seamless color changes.

[@denzellay546]

Thank you for this review. It was informative, and gave us a practical look at it worked up. This is the best kind of review. Thanks to you, much of the guess work and surprises are taken out of ordering a new yarn on line. You’re the best, as always!!!

[@dianegomez8566]

I would say you're adding to my yarn hoarding, my but my home was recently vandalized and I mean totally destroyed by a family member and he destroyed everything I own. My yarn stash 😮 mutilated to the point where I have to start over but I wasn't harmed physically just my peace of mind was taken from me. Therefore after I've finished cleaning up I'll start to replenish my yarn. So I'll continue to watch your channel Crystal because it's how I know what's new in the world of yarn . I love this new yarn the colors are beautiful

[@Lisa..4]

These are beautiful. I like the cake form. I wouldn’t buy anything in the o-go form. I appreciate you showing the yarn and it worked up.

[@MyGrannysCloset3G]

I love, love, love these. I will be grabbing some for the granny square ponchos I plan to make. 😃💚

[@jolenelarson469]

I love this yarn and I've knit three scarves with the Ogo halo. I'm tempted to make an afghan, going from light to dark in the first cake, then dark to light on the second cake, etc. ❤

[@kaesnow2380]

Oh! So glad to see this! I couldn't find the Halo anywhere and I really enjoy my sweaters I knit with it.

[@stephanieclare2457]

All the colors are beautiful I'm definitely going to buy some for my fall and winter projects thank you Crystal love your yarn reviews.

[@Tlove1211]

Can't believe how easy it was to pull apart with the fuzziness. I'm sold ! ( as usual, your reviews make me spend money 🤣🤣)

[@cathydixon5218]

That is gorgeous. I can just see a Afghan done with it. Love all the colours. Crystal I love your opinion. Thank you 😊

[@stephanieblackburn4044]

I love halo yarn. You bought some beautiful yarn. Thank you for sharing.

[@ivy6303]

Hi Crystal! That is beautiful yarn. I love the colors! Thank you for the review. God bless you!

[@janphillipps2367]

🙋🏽‍♀️Those are all gorgeous!!! It’s going to be hard not to add some to my stash. Do I need it noooo, do I want it , of course😊. Thanks for sharing.❤️❤️❤️

[@mistyblue5312]

This was an absolutely awesome review - thanks for taking time with everything, review, pricing, swatching and washing. You pulled out all the stops and I totally agree - best ombré ever! ❤❤❤

[@triciaquan9630]

I really like that slow color change!! Thank you!!

[@clsnow461]

I'm thrilled to see they have brought this back in a cake and expanded the line! I got a few of these last winter and love, love, loved the gorgeous ombre., the colors and the soft fuzzies. HATED the O'GO . So happy to see it in a cake with more colors and those fabulous gradients. Thanks for the review and testing, Crystal, it is much appreciated.

[@lessons9745]

Oh boy, now I need this yarn and I have no room for it! Lol.. Time to start making more projects so I'll have room! Thanks Crystal!

[@tammyferris1424]

All the colors are beautiful! I love ombre & gradient color schemes. Can't wait to try a project.

[@Mhopie]

It was soft and very enjoyable to crochet a blanket with in the o’go and I’m excited that they are in cake form now. Probably one of my favorites.

[@June-q6k7n]

I really like your tutorials. I’ve never watched one until I got yours and I’m crocheting a blanket learning new stitches adding to it I love the yarn that you give away and show.

[@lindasyarnbarn5176]

I love that yarn! It works up beautifully. I made a baby blanket for my granddaughter when they were in the O’Go shape. Wasn’t a fan of that but, looking forward to buying the cakes when I can.

[@sheilaowen5071]

Thanks for going over these with us. You're the best!

[@theresaburr909]

I bought a bunch of the Ogoo on clearance got enough to make a tube afghan on addi.....love it and happy they have brought it back in any form ... the best ombre ever

[@sparkledeesdistractions3150]

I made my very first shawl with this yarn! It was one of BOD’s tutorials. :). It turned out quite nice
