Yarn: Yarnspirations Caron Cinnamon Swirl Cakes in color Twilight Surf. Skeins are 8 0z, 407 yds. I used the full skein with a good size ball left over.
Size: 7" x 68"
Pattern: ch 24, straight dc, 130 rows
Hook: H/5.0 - the same one as in the previous post as this one seems to work well with this yarn
I think I cut out two knots but that's not too bad.
Happy crocheting!

Yarn: Yarnspirations Caron Cinnamon Swirl Cakes in color Bay. Skeins are 8 0z, 407 yds. I used the full skein
Size: 6 1/2" x 73"
Pattern: ch 24, straight dc, 140 rows
Hook: H/5.0 (This was a gift from my friend Fran a couple years ago)
Although this cake is the same brand as the previous post I had no trouble with it. There was not a single knot to cut out. The yarn went further than the other cake though they are supposedly the same length. I also love the colors in it but y'all know I'm a fan of blues.
Happy crocheting!

Yarn: Yarnspirations Caron Cinnamon Swirl in color Spearmint (1 cake - 8 oz, 407 yds) It's a #4 worsted yarn.
Hook: H/5mm, owl hook by Laurie Whitaker
Size: 6 1/2" x 66"
Pattern: modern V stitch, Bev's WC Scarf. I worked 140 rows
This yarn was okay but there were five knots I had to cut out. You can see the tails here. It wasn't a big deal, but I thought it was more than there should have been. I have a few more cakes in different colors so we'll see how that goes.
Happy crocheting!

I'm still working with the Yarnspiration Bernat Blanket #6 super bulky in color Purple Sunset. It is 100% polyester, 10.5oz, 220 yards.
I did, however, run into an unusual problem. The huge skein jumped out of its container and ended up under my lift chair without my noticing. When I couldn't pull more yarn I got up and took a look.
I did learn my lesson and put the next skein into a round tote with a zipper closure. It even has a spot for my hook which is good as that is the one that has worked so well with this yarn and I don't have another within my dozens (okay, maybe a few more than that LOL) of hooks. As noted in a previous post, the wooden hook is 12-13mm. There is no size on it. It was purchased sooo many years ago.
The solution has worked pretty well. I have completed 6 scarves in addition to the one in that tote.
All of those are between 61" and 65" with a width varying between 7" and 9". They are so thick and soft.
I will finish the one in the tote and then decide how to handle the balls that were cut off the stuck one. Most of it was saved so I could conceivably make an 8th scarf but with many tails. I don't actually mind sewing in the tails but worry these might poke out due to the type of yarn. Little wisps of yarn fly off whenever I cut a piece.
Learn from my oopsie and keep your yarn safe from being sucked under a chair. :-)
Happy crocheting!
