In this quick Michaels shop-with-me, I’m checking out the NEW Caron Cake yarn that just hit the shelves. If you love cake yarn like I do, you know why this is exciting—easy color changes, big ol’ cakes, and it’s a fun way to get a lot of look without having to juggle a bunch of skeins. I’m sharing what I’m seeing in store and why I always like to check Michaels for the newest drops before they get picked over. And you already know how I shop: I’m looking at what’s new, but I’m also thinking about the price, the yardage, and whether it’s actually worth it for a budget-friendly project. If you’re trying to craft for less, my biggest takeaway is to keep your eyes open for sales, coupons, and clearance timing—because “new yarn” is cute, but “new yarn on a deal” is better. If you want more of these shopping trips and new finds, I’ve got a whole playlist linked, plus all my community spots where I share steals, deals, and freebies when I spot them.
