Caron Big Cakes is a bulky-weight, 100% acrylic self-striping yarn sold in large cakes. Each cake carries five colors that shift as you knit or crochet, so blankets and home décor pieces build stripes without changing skeins. The wool-free fiber is machine washable and dryable, which suits throws and pillows that see regular use. Against finer striping yarns like the original Caron Cakes, the thicker gauge works up faster and covers more area per stitch, though the color runs are long and less predictable in where they land.

Lowest price we've seen: $11.24 on Nov 11 at Michaels. Tracked across 6 stores since Nov 11.
Rated 4.5 out of 5 across 63 ratings. Buyers like the soft feel, the easy care and the way the colors stripe without extra work. The main complaint is that the color sequence and where each shade starts vary from cake to cake.
Caron Big Cakes is a self-striping acrylic yarn that comes in a larger ball than the original Caron Cakes. It is wool-free and easy to care for.
Each cake holds 5 colors. The stripes depend on where the colors start, so each project has its own pattern. The yarn suits blankets and other home décor projects.
