Red Heart Super Saver Jumbo Favorite Stripe Yarn - 2 Pack of 283g/14oz - Acrylic - 4 Medium (Worsted) - 482 Yards - Knitting/Crochet

I like Red Heart Yarn, and have been using it for 50 years. There are many color choices, and it is reasonably priced. It feels less soft than some yarns before the finished pieces are washed, but once it has been washed it feels quite soft and nice. It is easy to work with.

Love this line. It's incredibly versatile. Does not easily tear or split. It's not "soft" like a fluffy wool might be, but I disagree with the reviews that say it's "rough" - it's great for clothes, hats, blankets, dolls, misc yarn/crochet arts.I bought SWEET TREAT. The variegated colors are beautiful and have smooth transitions.I use 5.5, 6 and 6.5 needles with this line.Overall, very pleased!

Colors are beautiful. Bright but not overwhelming. Soft and easy to crochet.

Great color match in several batches. High quality yard excellent for sturdy crochet projects. Always my first pick.

Did I get a bad batch or what!!?Ordered some skeins of retro stripes for the colors and I was pleasantly surprised: it felt nicer that what I remembered of super saver yarn.Heard that they changed the formula and it is now less rough..So I felt confident to order several jumbo skeins in Aran color to add to my retro stripes funky blanket project.Well… the Aran skeins were not workable at all. Neither of them. Horribly scratchy. Maybe I got an old lot. It is like wrestling with plastic twine. It is not even just rough, it is splitted and crispy. Like it had somehow melted.Then a few feet later, it is better…not great, just not horrible. Puzzling. Not sure if it is the treatment to get this color that makes it different but there is a notable difference between the yarn with the retro stripe colors and the yarn with the aran color. Bought both in Red Heart super saver to keep consistency in texture so…bummer!I am half way through my project and debating whether to suck’it up and finish, or to trash it and return these used skeins, not to be reimbursed but to have Red Heart dispose of them as nuclear waste. That is how frustrated I am about these Aran skeins. They are exactly how I remembered super saver, or worse. I had to say something.Sorry for the rant.Maybe it softens when washed, as someone suggested. That is my last hope for this project. Even the dog doesn’t want anything to do with it. Too scratchy.The retro stripes skeins are not scratchy and have fantastic colors. So there is that.UPDATE: it does soften a lot after a bath in fabric softener. Hurray! Project saved.

I am so happy with this yarn and how my blanket turned out. Great value and great quality.

My wife swears by Red Heart yarns, they come in various types, colors and size bundles. They are great for beginners, easy to use, easy to correct if you error and comes out great when completed. The colors hold very well throughout multiple washes and set well so not to stretch after completion. Very well priced for the jumbo and regular size units and available everywhere.

This ombre yarn is a different color combination than most. I used it in two different afghans that turned out great. I used Red Heart yarn for years & sometimes it splits a lot & sometimes not.

Bought as a gift the lady really liked it

Red Heart wool is always good. This package of two large size was economical. I purchased three packages.

The yarn is very nice to crochet with, and I really like the spring green color. I'm happy with this purchase.

Lots of wool on each roll and a little softer then the normal stuff

They are great! And obviously I knew what I was getting. For the price, I cannot believe how much yarn I got. But now I need more peojects with yellow in them. Bees? Lol!
