Review on Caron Cakes Self Striping Yarn BUTTERCREAM by Barbara Simmons

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Arrived without a Caron Cakes tag and very striped.

A ball of Caron Cakes Rainbow Sherbet I ordered to complete my project arrived with no label on it or even in the box - just a ball of yarn. The threads of yarn had colored streaks (crimson stripes on teal threads, etc.) over most of the ball of yarn. It's very noticeable. I don't mind the looks, but the rest of my project doesn't (every solid color is solid, no stripes - just a few blemishes now and then). Ordered two more balls of the same color to try and complete this project. I hope it's not unlabeled "seconds". Here's what I'm guessing. Something QC ignored. The yarn itself is beautiful and pleasant to work with. Let's see if the next 2 skeins of this yarn will be of better quality.

Pros
  • Beautiful design
Cons
  • Crumpled packaging
