Finding the yarn
What makes us pick one yarn over another? Colors, texture, affordability, project size? The list could go on. All good reasons to pick one yarn or the other. I chose Caron One Pound yarn for a recent project for a couple of reasons.
One, it was for a blanket, so I was going to need a good amount of yarn. Two, it offered the colors I was looking for and I bought it on sale so that made it more desirable.
The one-pound offering makes it possible to purchase more yarn at one time for potentially less money. It also requires fewer skeins of yarn to complete the project. Unless of course, you have a lot of different colors in the project.
I have previously used Caron Jumbo for a project, so I am familiar with the yarn and knew what to expect with the One Pound. That first purchase was based solely on the colors that were in the variegated yarn.
The most recent project was an afghan for someone in my life. I chose colors that were from his favorite college football team and the pattern was one that I designed.

Caron One Pound Yarn Review
Pros
Caron One Pound yarn is worthy of your project for many reasons. I found it to be relatively easy to find the end and get started with the project.
When starting a skein or cake, I usually start from the middle. I don’t recall having any knots found in the middle of a skein which is unusual for most yarns that I use on a regular basis. A total win in my mind.
For each color that I used, I only needed 2 of each color which was great for purchasing and transporting it.
Cons
There are only a couple of cons that come to mind. As with many acrylic yarns, it is a little rough to the touch in comparison to some other yarns but to the point of not using the yarn.
As the skein gets used there is a greater chance of knotting occurring if the yarn gets squished together. A risk of pulling from the middle with any skein of yarn. Just with the one-pounder, you have a much larger circumference to deal with at the end of the skein.
Summary
Overall, the Caron One Pound Yarn is a convenient choice for many reasons. Economical and efficient for large projects.
In addition, it had minimal, if any, knots and the larger skein option required fewer purchases. I would recommend Caron One Pound Yarn for your projects to come.
