You might say we've been busy at Caron lately. In addition to developing the NaturallyCaron.com line of yarns (at right), we've also just introduced new Simply Soft® Paints. Available in 8 yummy colorways—random palettes of up to 7 complementary hues —Paints offers the softness you'd expect from a Simply Soft yarn combined with a colorful "splash" in every project.

Please join us in congratulating all of the winners of our "Soften the World with Simply Soft" sweepstakes. We're very excited to tell you that sweepstakes entries totaled over 10,000 knit or crocheted sections. We have donated all of the sections to Warm Up America to be joined into afghans and given to homeless shelters across the country. Check out the list of winners. Thanks to everyone for their entries that will help this wonderful effort.

Ultimate Sweater Machine®
There’s no faster way to knit a sweater or gift you've been planning than the Ultimate Sweater Machine (USM). It’s ideal to use with our new NaturallyCaron.com Country yarn–or any Caron yarn, for that matter. For those of you who are crocheters but who would like to add super-easy knitting to your repertoire but don’t like to work with two needles, the USM is the answer. Why not crochet a lightweight top in Spa and USM-knit a matching jacket in Country? The summery shades are the same in both yarns. With the USM, you can knit an adult sweater in two evenings or a child’s sweater in one. And you can make full-sized afghans and throws as well as XXXL sizes. So give the USM a try. Check out the video tutorials at the Bond America website.

e are very excited to introduce to you a brand new line of fantastic yarns called NaturallyCaron.com. Yes, that's right, the brand name of the yarn is also the name of our brand new website. Why? Because like the new NaturallyCaron.com yarns, the partner website is a whole new experience for knitters and crochters on the web. I can't wait to tell you about the site's cool features, but first, let's talk about the yarns.

The Yarn

At Caron, we know you are always looking for great new yarns to make your knit and crochet projects look and feel wonderful. And so are we! In fact, we've been searching the globe for just the right combination of fibers, colors, and construction to bring you just what you are looking for in a yarn— texture, drape, softness, washability and color, fabulous color. And at a great price, too. In Country and Spa, our first two NaturallyCaron.com yarns, we hope you like what we've found...

Country is a wonderful blend of microdenier (or "ultrafine") acrylic and merino wool. So many designers, knitters and crocheters are telling us that the twist and cabled construction of this yarn is allowing them to create textural stitches that give every project something special. Cables, lacework, bobbles and more all look great in Country. With 24 harmonizing colors in a graduated color palette, Country may become your favorite yarn for all your projects.
