Hi.I was wondering if caron yarn cakes or any yarn cakes yarn is only for the fall seasons?if so that is kind dumb to me?or can a person get it all year long like from Michaels stores? What do you guys think?am I the only one to think that it's stupid for only fall seasons?

Caron cakes have been around for a couple of years, and I never noticed that they 'went away' and came back; I think I noticed there was also a new style this year (bulky? not sure).  I think Michaels has more yarn sales in the Autumn in general because they figure more people get crafty before the holidays, and in my store they seemed to put the Caron cakes stuff on the isle ends to feature them in the past couple of months.  They'll probably put them back in the isles and feature something else soon.

Some yarns are trendy, are around for a while and get replaced by the next new trend; some are forever (like Red Heart super saver).
