How much yarn is in one skein?

Each cake is 9.8 oz (280 g) and 297 yards (271 m). That is enough for a hat, cowl or scarf, and several cakes are needed for a blanket.

What needles and hooks does it use?

Caron lists 8 mm US 11 knitting needles and an 8 mm US L-11 crochet hook. Gauge is 11 stitches and 14 rows per 4 inches knit, or 8 single crochet and 9 rows crocheted.

Is it machine washable?

Yes. It is 100% acrylic and machine washable and dryable, which suits blankets and items for kids.

Will the colors change on their own?

Yes. Each cake stripes through five colors, so the color changes come built in. How wide each stripe looks depends on your gauge.

Can I match dye lots across skeins?

Dye lots are not guaranteed to match. For a large blanket, buy all the skeins you need together and alternate them to blend any shade differences.

What can I make with it?

Blankets, throws, garments, hats, cowls and other cold-weather accessories. The bulky weight and easy care suit home and winter projects.

Our take on the Caron Chunky Cakes Yarn- Rice Pudding

Caron Chunky Cakes is a super bulky (weight 6) 100% acrylic yarn that stripes through five colors in one skein. Each 9.8 oz cake holds 297 yards, enough for a hat, cowl or a good start on a blanket. It knits at 11 stitches per 4 inches on US 11 needles and crochets at 8 single crochet on an L-11 hook, so projects move fast. It is machine washable and dryable, which suits blankets, kids' items and cold-weather accessories that see heavy use. Against softer super bulky rivals it is firmer and more durable than plush, and the built-in color changes save buying separate skeins.
