Work In Progress ... using Caron Simply Soft Light simply soft light in bubblegum Book source:  Little Crochet

not all yarn sizes are created equal....My bad experience substituting yarn has become a lesson learned. I really liked this new yarn by Caron up until I found out that it is not really the size it claims to be.  It's making things shrink. Here's what I mean....I am working on an adorable baby sweater. I measured the gauge to be o.k. Now unless I measured wrong this sweater shrunk! The pattern calls for DK weight. The yarn I bought says it's DK.

Caron Simply Soft Light I'm moving up with the pros, trying out lighter weight yarns ever since my local craft store brought in a new product line: Caron Simply Soft Light. I'll be a beginner pro in no time. (I've read that modern crochet fashion is going with the finer yarns instead of the bulkier look.) Typically, I'd say that over 85% of the yarns in American department stores are the bulkier ones (medium, bulky, and superbulky). Finer yarn is in very limited

I seem to want more yarn than there is time to use it.  I thought that it would be interesting to try these 5 Caron colors together someday: I should visit the store to see if they look appealing together in-person.
