November is Family Time!
The Simply Soft family of yarns is growing!

Have you ever bought a fabulous pair of pants and built your wardrobe around those favorite, great-fitting pants? Here at Caron we feel the same way about our favorite yarn, Simply Soft. So you can mix and match textures, colors and weights of yarn, we've created a whole family of Simply Soft yarns. They have the same wonderfully soft texture and the same delightful sheen as the original Simply Soft. And, like Simply Soft, all these yarns can be machine washed and dried! So extend a warm welcome to all the members of the Simply Soft family of yarn!

Original Simply Soft® NEW PROJECT! Weekend Wrap (crochet)	Simply Soft® Shadows EASY PROJECT! Cabled Wrap (knit)	Simply Soft® Tweed EASY PROJECT! Pom Pom Scarf (crochet)
Simply Soft® Brites NEW PROJECT! Baby Hoodie & Hat (crochet)	Simply Soft® Bouclé NEW PROJECT! Striped Poncho (crochet)	Simply Soft® Quick NEW PROJECT! Cabled Cardigan (knit)

The newest members of the Simply Soft family of yarns were created so you can combine these three coordinating yarns in one project. For example, use Autumn Red Simply Soft to trim a throw or jacket knitted or crocheted in Autumn Shadows – then add a narrower border using Autumn Red Tweed. You can also create a great tote using Simply Soft Quick – and add a flap or braided cording strap using the same color but in regular 4-ply Simply Soft. Then you can make the tote truly special by embroidering and adding beads!
