So sad no more.  So forgiving for beginners and so soft and comfy!

Once I started working with natural-fiber yarns, especially cottons, I haven't wanted to work with anything else; but cotton yarn can be so unyielding. Not so with Caron's latest, Ripple Cakes yarn. I bought 3 skeins of Quarry on special & decided to knit a top in the round, which I rarely get to do. It's been a dream to knit. I also bought 3 skeins of Copper Rose & made some small crochet projects with it, and it crochets just as nicely! 

Here's a perk of the Ripple Cakes design for those of us who have a difficult time deciding which project to make with great yarns that keep going out of stock: if you decide to unravel a project started with this yarn, it doesn't stay kinked - it's already pre-kinked, so to speak, so it just goes back to its original waviness! 

My top is still in progress, but the picture should give an idea of how the yarn stripes, and the stitch definition. As others have noted, the natural nature of the yarn gives it an uneven quality, so some stitches will be chubbier, others will be thinner, but it gives such a natural look that I feel is indicative of natural fibers. 

For a self-striping colorway, like Quarry, in case anyone else needs to figure this out, by my measurements, there's roughly 32 yards in each strip of color. I have found about 2 knots/joins in the first full skein I've used, one in the 2nd skein so far (I have about 120+ yds left to go in it). Only one of the joins threw off the striping; I had to reduce the rest of that color because of how they joined it, but that's just due to my perfectionism.

I hope this helps anyone planning to use this yarn if/when it's back in stock (or if it's in your stash). Caron has this nerve-wracking habit of introducing great new yarns in limited quantity, making us crafters feel like it's never going to come back. I hope Caron plans to keep this one around, or introduce a similar yarn in one of their associated lines, like Bernat or Patons.

I had been on the lookout for lightweight 100% cotton yarn, so I was super excited when this came out! I bought skeins of iced latte, clearview, and sunflare. I have yet to make/complete projects with the first two colors, but I did finish 1dogwoof's summer tunic dress for my daughter in Sunflare. It's a beautiful summer-y color. The yarn was easy to crochet with (though I definitely had to adjust to my tension to be a bit more relaxed): no chances of splitting, soft and easy on the fingers. The only slight annoyance due to my OCD nature was that the ripples in the yarn would make some stitches smaller than others due to where the big ripples ended up within stitches. However, that's part of the uniqueness of the yarn, so it's really not a negative point, haha. The ripples in the yarn do give the work an overall more textured feel, so my daughter did say it was "scratchy" with her toddler vocab (note: it's nowhere near scratchy -- if anything, it's slightly bumpy. I happened to work on a project with the Impeccable acrylic yarn afterwards and felt like that yarn was scratching my fingers while I was crocheting! I'd gotten too used to working with cotton). That being said, I imagine this yarn will become even softer with washing and tumble drying (which I usually don't do for cotton clothes but probably will for this). I look forward to finding my next project(s) to use the rest of my yarn. :D

Love working with this yarn. I have made a tote bag in thermal stitch, A lamb backpack, lots of different cup cozies, coasters, placemats, stuffed animals, headbands, etc. Endless things to create with this yarn. I have purchcased almost all of our local Michael's supply. 
My only disappointment is not being able to obtain the yarn. Hopefully it will become more available. Love Michael's prices. I am 79 years old and love being able to make gifts to share with anyone who needs a little treat.

I like that the texture of this yarn.  I bought the solid colors to make summer throws for the back of the couch.  I bought the variegated yarn to knit some dish clothes and it performs superbly.  I was not sure if this would be produced permanently so I can honestly tell you I spent way to much money on it to make sure I had enough for what I want to do.  Photo of my unfinished dish clothes enclosed.  Don't you just hate weaving in the loose ends?  lol

I’m one who shares my opinion openly and I don’t hesitate to offer creative criticism of products however, I’m at a loss for anything negative about this yarn except that it’s not easily available in the popular shades. The fact that it’s 100% cotton, pleasantly textured, has variegated coloring and is the ideal warm weather weight just makes my heart sing! Come on, Caron, let’s make more of the popular colors so we can crochet away...

So in love with my crocheted cardigan, pattern ‘Old School Cardi’ by Choosy Stuff. In color Clay Poy Carron Cotton Ripple Cakes!

I guess I am not the only one who loves this yarn because I can't find it anywhere.  Wildflowers and Mauve Glow are super pretty. As is flagstone, I just can't find it anywhere in enough quantity to make anything. Hopefully more will be coming!

This yarn has unique texture and contemporary colors, very beautiful! Wish it was more affordable.
