GRANNY LOVES THIS COLOR

This color is discontinued I do believe the price is higher that in the stores but for granny who has dementia but has not forgot this color and who is still crocheting it is worth me buying for her just to be happy. As long as she can still crocheting I feel like we are giving Alzheimer a good fight. So I would say it is worth the extra few dollars .

In love with the yarn

In love with the yarn. I have bought this 3 or 4 times. Great for rainbow art projects. One project is in the picture.

Red Heart Favorite Stripe Yarn - Really A Gorgeous Yarn

This is a really pretty variegated patterned yarn. Red Heart hit it out of the park on this one. I've made afghans for our Bird Club raffles and it has parrot colors that make for beautiful afghans. I have bought many skeins and will continue to stock up. It is very bright and beautiful and the afghans are a hit. Red Heart needs to list the colors in the variegation so it is easy for the user to match colors to it when varying the patterns with solid colors. That would be my only suggested for Red Heart. You will love this yarn.

Great for amigurumi and afghans

Red Heart Super Saver is great for amigurumi (toys) and afghans. Personally I prefer wool for wearable items, but I have used RHSS to make things for people that were allergic to wool on occasion. RHSS is my go-to yarn for acrylic. Amazon sells it at the same price as my local stores; so, considering gas, it saves me money to buy it using prime shipping. Amazon also has a much better color selection. Some things to keep in mind: Yarn that is made at different times, will be slightly different colors. That's just the nature of yarn. To avoid having a visible place where you joined a new skein, you can alternate skeins when you join a new one - do a few rows with the first skein, then a few rows with the second, for awhile. All monitors are different, so there's no way to show you a 100% accurate picture of the colors of yarn. Amazon's colors are quite accurate on my screen, though. This is a worsted weight yarn, but it's on the thicker side of worsted weight, more like aran weight. This is what makes it great for amigurumi, in my opinion, since those need to be dense. But if you're making something that needs to be a specific size, check your gauge first. Some colors of RHSS are thinner than others, so again, check your gauge. If it's splitting a lot, you may be pulling the yarn in the wrong direction. RHSS is wound to be pulled from the center. On the label, it has an "A" and a "B" with arrows. On the side labeled "A", make sure the outside strand of the yarn is out of the skein. Sometimes it's worked its way out before the yarn gets to you, but you may have to pull it out. On the side labeled "B", you need to find the other end of the yarn that's in the center of the skein. Pull that out, and knit/crochet from that side. If you did that and it's still splitting a lot, it's possible the label came off somewhere along the way and was put back on upside-down - try putting the center strand back in the middle, and pulling it out through the other end. The multi colored skeins are smaller (in amount of yarn) than the solid colored skeins. RHSS is a bit course/stiff at first, but it softens up nicely after a wash. If you keep these things in mind, you'll have a great experience with Red Heart Super Saver!

Nice quality, great price

My daughter does a lot of projects and has recently been doing a lot of crocheting and macrame. We are a half hour from the nearest yarn store and I don't want to drive that far to get a single skein of yarn when she runs out of a color! So she tried Red Heart on Amazon and is very happy with it. It's soft, and the price is unbelievable for such a large skein. I order from Amazon often so it's no problem that it's an add-on item. We'll be buying more Red Heart yarn.

Nice yarn and exact color match

Red Heart is my mom's go-to brand of yarn. She is housebound and crochets everyday. She had started a project with this specific color and brand only to discover she could not find any left in stock anywhere to complete her project. Of course my go-to shopping source is always Amazon. I immediately located and ordered what she needed and it arrived in 2 days, as promised and was an exact color match. I don't know a lot about yarn (ok, I know nothing about yarn) so this review will likely not be very helpful to those of you who do. However, my mom loves this brand. She crochets everyday and makes everything imaginable with this brand of yarn. I kid her that she could start her own Red Heart yarn store due to how much she has of it. I have several things she has made me with Red Heart yarn. Everything from afgans, slippers, vests, baby stuff, dolls and clothes, etc. and everything has held-up very well. That's the extent of my yarn knowledge! Oh yeah, this particular color is beautiful and exactly as shown. No concerns to post.

Good buy

This is the cheapest yarn I know of, cheap enough to make a large afghan reasonably affordable. For the price, it's also surprisingly soft, not really the bargain-basement feel I expected, and it's no more prone to splitting or having knots than any other yarn I've bought elsewhere. The color is pretty reliable even when I have to re-order; I can't detect a difference even in the middle of a project. The only thing to watch out for is that the manufacturer won't necessarily keep making your color, so buy as much as you might possibly need before it disappears.

Great!

Great yarn for large projects! this is not the kind of yard you want to use for soft projects (like a baby blanket or a cozy sweater) but i think it's suitable for large bedspreads/blankets like the one i made using this yard (see picture). I found it very easy to work with and i'm not exactly what you would call an expert in crocheting. The bedspread shown is the most intricate project i've done so far, took 2 months to complete. TIP: if you think the yarn is too rough or scratchy after you have finished your project, soak it in cold water, fabric softener and cheap hair conditioner (any brand will do) and it will be a bit softer after rinsing it! i did this with my bedspread.

matched perfect..

I had some of this yarn and needed more ...matched perfect. ..got this shall done in no time at all..great yarn to work with.

Nice material, true to color in picture, quick shipping.

I originally bought this because I was trying to fulfill the amount needed for free shipping. When I crochet I traditionally use the extra soft kind or the baby blanket time, but this was a really good price so I got it I have been making a blanket with it today and it is actually softer than I anticipated. I got a light blue one and the color is very true to the picture. I obviously have not had the chance to wash it since I am still in the process of making the blanket, but I have a feeling it will do well. It also came on extremely fast. It made it to me faster than some of the products I ordered weeks before I ordered this!
