Caron Latte Cakes Yarn

Our take on the Caron Latte Cakes Yarn

Caron Latte Cakes is a bulky (weight 5) acrylic-nylon blend sold in 8.8 oz cakes with 530 yards each. It is a textured, self-striping yarn, so the color changes happen on their own as you knit or crochet, which suits shawls, wraps and accessories that want long color runs. At $10.49 at Michaels Stores as of November 4, 2026, it is the only new price listed, so there is no lower competing offer to compare against.

Questions and answers

Is Caron Latte Cakes worth it?

At $10.49 for 530 yards of bulky self-striping yarn, it is a fair price per yard. It suits shawls and accessories where the color changes do the work.

What weight is Latte Cakes and what needle size fits it?

It is bulky (weight 5) at about 5.5 mm thickness. Most crafters use US 10 to 11 needles or a J to K hook; swatch to check gauge.

How much does one cake make?

One 8.8 oz cake has 530 yards. That is enough for a large shawl or wrap, but a sweater usually takes two or more cakes.

Is it machine washable?

Yes. The acrylic-nylon blend is machine washable; follow the care label and dry flat to keep stitch definition.

How does it compare with other self-striping cakes?

Latte Cakes is bulkier than most fingering-weight striping cakes, so it works up faster and gives wider stripes. It is acrylic rather than wool, so it is cheaper and easier to care for but less breathable.

When is the best time to buy it?

Craft-store yarn sales and coupons are the usual way to beat the $10.49 Michaels price. Check the price history before buying at full price.
