Unfortunately, I didn't have any patterns in this yarn to show off during the showcase! But oh my gosh - you have to feel it to believe it! 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
I wish I knew! 🙁
Linda freeman
What. About. Latch hook kit ??
Tamara Kelly
Hi Linda! Is there a kit you're looking for a review of?
Sarah
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
Well gosh, that's what they told me!
