Pervasive year-round in a variety of hues, pink is an enchanting color. It symbolizes the essence of girls and women as it comes alive during special occasions such as baby showers for baby girls, Valentine's Day, Mother's Day, and Breast Cancer Awareness Month. As women indulge in pink attire during these cherished times, knitters and crocheters are in search for an assortment of pink yarns. Some popular yarn brands and types in shades of pink are reviewed below.

Lion Brand Pink Yarns

All of the Lion Brand yarns that I have tried are incredibly soft and are available in beautiful shades of pink. My favorites are Lion Brand Homespun (100% acrylic) yarn in the shade of "Cotton Candy", Lion Brand Hometown USA (chunky 100% acrylic) yarn in the shade of "Honolulu Pink", Lion Brand Suede (100% polyester) yarn in the vibrant shades of "Rose" and "Fuchsia", and Lion Brand Velvetspun yarn in the shade of "Carnation". All of these pink yarns are ideal for making scarves and shawls.

Bernat carries so many shades of pink yarn. They include Bernat Satin (softest 100% acrylic Bernat Yarn) in the shades of "Antique Rose", "Cameo", "Maitai", and "Flamingo"; Bernat Baby Soft (premium acrylic) yarns in the shades of "Prettiest Pink" and "Warm Rose"; and Bernat Chunky (86% bamboo, 12% acrylic, 2% polyester eco-friendly) yarn in the shade of "Roseship". Bernat's pink yarns are suitable for both baby items and women's wear.

They include Red Heart Designer Sport (100% acrylic light weight) yarn in the shade of "Blossom"; and Red Heart Worsted (100% acrylic) yarns in the shades of "Magenta", "Soft Rose", and "Country Rose." These pink Red Heart yarns are great for crocheting or knitting items ranging from scarves to throws.

During the warmer weather, my pink yarn of choice is 100% cotton made by Sugar n Cream. My favorite pink shades include "Pinky Stripes" and "Strawberry" which I use to crochet string bags and halter tops.

During the cooler weather, an ideal yarn to try is Naturally Caron Country yarn composed of 25% Merino Wool and 75% Microdenier Acrylic. It is available in a light pink shade called "Rose Bisque".
