"Caron® x Pantone™ is a luxuriously soft yarn in a unique braid put up, with stunning color palettes specially selected by color experts at Caron® in collaboration with
Pantone®. Get creative with color and use your
5 separated links of yarn in endless combinations to make a
pattern unique to you."
Here are my thoughts:
1. The Yarn is very soft and easy to work with.
It slides nicely over my crochet hook and I enjoyed
crocheting with it.
2. The colorways are bright and Vivid.
Most of the color combination are to my liking.
There are a few that I would not chose, but that
is just my preference.
3. The Yarn is 5 different colors of yarn,
and 5 separate links of yarn,
So you will need to join the yarn links together.
This is not pleasing to me, but not a great big deal.
4. The yarn is not spun tightly.
It is several strings of yarn held together,but not twisted,
and can be a little splitty.
5. The Bundle has a total of 3.5 oz/ 127 yards
So not a lot to work with, so you will need a
couple skeins for most projects.
6. The Yarn is 60% Acrylic, 20% Nylon, 20% Merino Wool
I like this combination, you get strength, softness and warmth.
7. I purchased the first Caron Pantone from Michael's for $7.99.
I did use my 40% off Coupon. It's a little more pricey
for the amount, but use those coupons and save.
Chain about 20 chains for the tie and add a cute button.
