It's *perfect* for blankets and anything you want to be extra extra cozy! But I went on over to Yarnspirations to find a little inspiration for you anyway - the colorways on offer might be different now, but these pieces are designed for Cloud Cakes. 😉

Tamara Kelly says
I wish I knew! 🙁
Linda freeman says
What. About. Latch hook kit ??
Tamara Kelly says
Hi Linda! Is there a kit you're looking for a review of?
Sarah says
None of these are new to the Caron line up tho, are they? I look every month or so and these cakes have been around for a while. I made a blanket out of the Lagoon color of the cloud cakes probably at least before September of last year...probably spent 6 months on it so I bought the yarn in early 2023
Tamara Kelly says
Well gosh, that's what they told me!
danielle bonillas says

Bo Caron says
Is the Caron Brand ever going to come out with some ICE Cakes maybe in the future ???? I love the Caron cakes, would be great to get the cakes in ICE !!!!?
Tamara Kelly says
I have to admit I'm not familiar what you mean by ICE? I'm curious though!
Val says
Any loom knit projects
Julie Hill says
I many skeins of Caron Cinnamon Swirl Yarn but am having a hard time finding a knitting patterns that goes with this yarn....I keep seeing the same 3 or 4 patterns,which I'm not interested in. I'm reluctant to buy any more of this yarn until I find a pattern that I want to use.
Tamara Kelly says
The Caron Cakes are tricky because they often only last one year. You might have more luck if you expand your search to patterns that use yarns that are the same weight and fiber!
