Caron Big Cakes is a bulky-ish acrylic striping yarn sold in large balls, a bigger-format follow-up to the popular Caron Cakes. It is wool-free and machine washable, so it suits blankets, throws and other home decor that get washed often. The long color repeats do the striping for you, which means less joining and fewer ends to weave in than with small skeins. Against finer worsted acrylics it works up faster and covers more area per ball, but the color changes are fixed by the ball, so you cannot place them exactly.
