"I'm new to paper crafts but I think this necklace is soooo pretty! I love the touch of gold on the edge of the flower's petals."

"This is such a pretty wreath and the fact that it lights up just adds the perfect finishing touch!"

"This could be easily done on the plastic rings that are part of a milk or juice bottle cap. You can make them in different sizes according to the ring size. They will be so cute strung on fishing line and hung in windows, on the tree, all over the house. An easy craft you can work on them as you sit and relax or when traveling in a vehicle. Dozens can be made for under five dollars."

"As an avid reader I think this is an adorable ornament. I can't stand the thought of cutting up a book though. I can see it is a good avenue for recycling an older paperback that has been read and is no longer viable as a form of reading entertaining. I also think this would be cute cut out in angel or ball form. What shape would you make?"

"That's a lot simpler to make than it looks at first. I almost passed it by because it looked too hard to put together, but I'm glad I didn't! I am inspired to even try to make one from straw, as she mentions. I think it would be fragile but beautiful."

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.
