Today, I’m pulling back the curtain and crocheting with **Yarn Bee Soft Secret**. This yarn is often touted as the “boutique” twin to the classic **Caron Simply Soft**, and after spending some time with it, I can see why. While they both share that signature silky sheen and “liquid” drape that makes them a favorite for garments and baby blankets, there is a subtle difference in the details.
