This week I checked in with Ravelry's Simply Soft® Worshippers group to see what they loved most about the yarn.
According to them, here are the Top 5 Reasons that Stitchers *Heart* Simply Soft:

1. It's super soft.
2. It's easy to care for.
3. It's affordable--but doesn't feel like it should be!
4. It's got a great sheen.
5. It's really easy to work with.

To quote crocheter KrisMarie, "It’s simply beautiful, simply easy to crochet and simply fits in my budget!"

Three's the Charm Sweater
Three lovely cables adorn the front and back of this ultra-soft Three's the Charm Sweater, knit in Dazzleaire®. We love how Marlaine DesChamps used the soft cable on the sleeves and paired the three jumbo cables with a generous rib in the lovely cowl neckline.

Country Tweed Afghan
Margret Willson is a master of both crochet and color. In her Country Tweed Afghan, she creates a beautiful "tweedy" look with just 3 colors of super-value One Pound yarn. The colors harmonize so beautifully for a truly heirloom creation.

Fabulous in Fringe Scarf
If you haven't noticed, fringe has made a comeback. (Of course, for knitters and crocheters, fringe has always been popular.) Designer Tanis Gray has created a gorgeous Fabulous in Fringe Scarf in Simply Soft Chunky. She adorns rows of stockinette and seed stitch, and then adds luxurious fringe on both long sides. Fabulous!
