"I want theses cans thanks for the giveaways"

"I agree that this is not exactly a wreath, but it's cool (no pun intended) just the same! I like the use of embroidery hoops since they're so inexpensive any more and can be reused later on. It looks like an easy decoration to make that could be used almost anywhere, too!"

"I laughed out loud when it dawned on me what this was made from! I don't know if I have ever seen anything like it before, but it certainly has an "old fashioned" look about it. I have a cut glass butter dish, so this one wouldn't work, but maybe a silvery one or something similar would!"

"These would be really cute to go with the tiny mittens I made. I don't know why miniatures like that are so appealing, but they are and they look so cute on a Christmas tree! I have a lot of leftover yarn in various shades of Christmas-y colors and this looks like a really quick project!"

"You have got to be kidding! That sound you just heard was me doing a forehead slap. Why didn't I think of this? It's so cute, easy and won't cost much at all to make. The grand kids will love it. Done one was really on their game when they came up with this one!"

When knitting or crocheting with some of the finest yarns you never want to go back to the stuff you started out with. However, working with those specialty yarns might prevent you from trying other yarns that are fabulous to work with. Caron One Pound Yarn is definitely a yarn you must try for your next project.

Caron One Pound is a worsted weight yarn made with 100% acrylic fibers that can be both knitted and crocheted with a 5.0mm hook and needle. What you'll absolutely love about this yarn is its sheer skein size. Simply said, it comes in a 16 ounce skein that is machine washable and dryable. Nothing beats the value of Caron One Pound.

A yarn this large is perfect for one skein patterns like hats and gloves, shawls and cowls, and even amigurumi patterns. Who wouldn't love to get a little amigurumi friend for a Christmas gift; this yarn is perfectly soft which will make any amigurumi huggable and loveable. Looking to make a knit blanket or crochet afghan? Caron One Pound allows you to use only one to two skeins for a beautiful blanket that can be used for many years to come. Just one skein can make four scarves. Four!

When you're working up a pattern this yarn has a bit of stiffness to it, so it'll give your project nice body and texture. If you want it to be a bit softer, just throw it in the wash with some fabric softener and you'll be amazed at how soft it'll come out. Because it comes in such a large skein you'll find it calming knowing you don't have to tie on another skein in the middle of a project.

Yarnspirations never disappoints, so of course this yarn comes in an amazing variety of colors like country rose, lavender blue, grass green, pumpkin, soft sage, sunflower, espresso, scarlet and many others. Mix and match for a variegated design or use one solid color for the more classic look. Caron One Pound does not have a dye lot, so you can go back and get the same color any time you want, without the worry of the same shade being gone.
