Caron Cinnamon Swirl Cakes Yarn vs Peaches & Creme Cotton Cone Yarn

Buy the Caron Cinnamon Swirl Cakes for soft, warm garments and blankets you want to machine wash and dry without fuss. Buy the Peaches & Creme cone for dishcloths, towels, market bags and other cotton projects where absorbency and durability matter. Caron is a plied acrylic with a soft hand and good drape; Peaches & Creme is a sturdy, absorbent cotton that holds up to scrubbing but is heavier and less elastic. Owners of both praise the value per yard; cotton fans accept that Peaches & Creme can shrink and fade slightly, while acrylic fans accept that Caron pills with wear.

• Choose the Caron Cinnamon Swirl Cakes if you want a soft, machine-washable acrylic for cardigans, shawls and blankets in a self-striping colorway.
• Choose the Peaches & Creme cone if you are making dishcloths, towels or bags and want absorbent cotton in a large, low-fuss format.
