A Staple for Many Crocheters

Red Heart Worsted Weight White - we all need it at some point. It does not split and washes well. Some people may say Hobby Lobby Brand ‘I Love This Yarn’ is softer - BUT boy does that brand get fuzzy and balled up fast. Red Heart softens with washing. If you are making a baby blanket, once you are finished making it, run it under a small drizzle of water. Just get a handful of spots on the blanket slightly damp. Then bounce it in the drier on your lowest heat setting with clean towels. About 10 minutes works great.

Easy to work with and accurate color

As a beginner at crochet, I had no idea how much yarn this was, it's almost as big as my cat. It's so much that the next couple projects are going to be blue too. I'm working on a scarf that is coming together well. The yarn is soft and easy to work with. I had some issues with it unraveling a bit after I wound it into cakes, but I think that's user error as it's not much and didn't at all prior to that. It's still completely useable and looks gorgeous. I'm looking forward to getting other colors as well.

the jumbo skeins are great for additional yardage

I'm a big fan of red heart, the jumbo skeins are great for additional yardage. I have never had a problem when purchasing before, I did have some resistance in my skein at one point to pull out a chunk of the center and a sticker drink label one of the "twist to open" varieties was stuck inside of the skein, it was rather weird but didn't affect the yarn.

i love this yarn Hope you like this

Very nice . Here is a picture of what I am making with it . I am new at crocheting so I think it looks pretty good

Good basic yarn, ideal for toys and granny squares.

Red Heart super saver is a good basic yarn for things like granny squares, amigurumi, etc. It doesn't split easily as you are knitting or crocheting with it. I have used it in afghans and small blankets but it's not as soft as some other acrylics. However, for the price, you really can't beat it if you want a good, solid acrylic that washes pretty well and doesn't smell like oil. (Yes, some acrylics have a slightly oily smell). No discernible "squeaking" when working with this one.

Perfect for a mobius wrap

I had found a pattern for a mobius wrap online, and wanted to give it a try I bought this yarn and a set of size ten circular knitting needles. I wanted to be able to try the wrap on as I went, to make sure it was the right size; I cast on 64 stitches and began to work a flat strip . . . In a basket weave stitch. After about 300 rows, it was just the right size. I hooked the cast on and cast off edges together with a size h crochet hook. It fits over my shoulders perfectly and has been keeping me toasty on these cold nights. The colors made a crisis cross pattern, almost an gargoyle plaid, which was an unexpected bonus.

Red Heart has my heart when it comes to yarn

Arrived on time and in perfect condition. I'm going to tell you a story about Red Heart yarn :) My mom used it a lot. She made matching sweaters for my 2 younger brothers from what was then their (early 1970s) "economy" yarn. My brothers wore the sweaters until they grew out of them. My middle brother somehow managed to save his, and gave it to me for my son to wear. My son wore it until he grew out of it. Now my oldest grandson is wearing it. Yes, i'm not kidding. The sweater is 30-some years old - and it hasn't faded, stretched, pilled, or anything else - it looks as good as the day my mom finished it. It has been machine washed and dried. no special care at all. It used to be called "Coats & Clark Red Heart" yarn. Both my grandmother and mother used their yarn, embroidery floss, crochet thread, etc. If you look on the label it's still made by Coats & Clark. Pay NO attention to any reviews. This yarn is fine for any everyday items- hats, scarves, mittens, afghans. kids clothes, shawls, blankets and yes, baby stuff. It's soft and yet it wears like iron. You simply cannot go wrong with Red Heart yarn. So yes i will undoubtedly buy more for new projects, and yes i would heartily recommend to a friend.

Red Heart is my go to yarn

I love Red Heart, maybe because I have used it since the 1960's. There are other brands that I use and like as well but still I prefer this brand. Vibrant colors that will stay true and thread that does not separate while working with it. Yarn is no longer an inexpensive way to give a handmade gift - however these prices (to me) were excellent and my newest grandson will have an awesome blanket to grow up with!

Best everyday yarn

This particular Red Heart yarn is probably the easiest to use. It glides real nice over the crochet hook, it stands up to the washer and it probably cost the least per ounce on regular savings. I always keep red and white on hand as a staple of yarn.

Great for a variety of projects

I crochet a lot and although a lot of colors are essential to me, black and white yarn are a must to have on hand at all times. Red heart is perfect for me because most of the things that I crochet are amigurumi and they use a variety of colors so sometimes it's best to stick to one brand for that project so it doesn't look weird in the end. But, overall, Red heart is easy to work with, and getting the jumbo saves money.
