Have you ever knitted or crocheted a blanket using Bernat blanket yarn? Have you made a fun and colorful hat with Caron Cakes? What about a wonderfully cozy sweater with Patons classic wool?

 

Yarnspirations is the home of yarn brands Patons, Bernat, Caron and Lily Sugar’ N Cream and is part of the craft yarn producer Spinrite LP, which was established in 1952.

With all of these great yarns under one umbrella, how do you choose the best one for you (or your project)? Here’s a great guide of what each yarn is best known for:

 

Patons yarns are made from materials ranging from natural fibers to beautiful acrylics. Patons is a classic choice for treasured projects and timeless patterns.

 

Bernat yarns are the most trusted, soft, durable, and washable yarns - the #1 yarn for baby. Leading home décor yarn, Bernat Blanket is perfect for soft pillows, on-trend blankets and so much more.

Caron yarns are all about color - you can find every shade of the rainbow. The yarn makes it easy for you to find the perfect color for your project. Caron is also the creator of Caron Cakes, an exciting self-striping yarn that provides you with a full range of colors with half the effort.

 

 

And last but not least, Lily Sugar’ N Cream is a fun, everyday essential cotton yarn. Made from 100% USA grown cotton, it’s available in a wide range of shades for every DIY project imaginable.
