The Yarn Behind Millions of Handmade Moments
Red Heart Yarn shows up in first blankets, wedding shawls, chemo caps, charity afghans and holiday scarves — here’s what makers keep telling us.
“Red Heart Super Saver is the yarn I learned to crochet on. Twenty years and hundreds of blankets later, it’s still the yarn I reach for first. The colors are consistent, the skeins are generous, and it washes like it means it.”
— From The Red Heart Community“Red Heart Unforgettable turns even the simplest stitch pattern into something people ask about. One skein, one shawl, no ends to weave in.”
— Shawl Maker“Scrubby Yarn changed my dishcloth game. My whole family gets a set at Christmas — and they actually ask for refills.”

Yarn weight, color codes, care instructions and how to pick the right line for your project.
Both Red Heart Super Saver and Red Heart Soft are worsted-weight (medium/#4) acrylic yarns, but Red Heart Soft has a smoother, more brushed finish that feels gentler against the skin — making it ideal for garments, baby items and throws. Red Heart Super Saver is a firmer, more classic worsted with jumbo skeins and over 140 colors, which is why it’s our best value for blankets, afghans and everyday projects.
Yes — the vast majority of our yarns, including Red Heart Super Saver, Red Heart Soft, With Love, Comfort and Unforgettable, are machine washable and machine dryable. Always check the ball band on your specific Red Heart yarn, but our whole line is built for the way people actually live with their finished projects.
Red Heart Super Saver is the yarn most crocheters and knitters learn on for good reason: it’s a smooth worsted-weight yarn that shows stitches clearly, splits less than novelty yarns, and comes in generous skeins so you don’t run out mid-project. Pick a light solid color to see your stitches easily, and you’re set.
Red Heart Super Saver is a worsted-weight yarn — Craft Yarn Council weight category 4 (Medium). It works up beautifully on a US size H/5.0mm or I/5.5mm crochet hook and US 8 (5.0mm) or US 9 (5.5mm) knitting needles. That’s the same weight standard as most Red Heart core yarns, so lines can be substituted for each other in patterns.
Red Heart Super Saver and other core Red Heart yarns are engineered to hold remarkably consistent color from dye lot to dye lot — one of the reasons long blanket projects are so forgiving on our yarn. For your safest match on a big project, buy all your skeins at once and, when possible, check the dye lot number on the label. For ombre and self-striping Red Heart yarns, alternate skeins every couple of rows to blend any minor variation.
Yes. Red Heart Soft Baby Steps is specifically designed for baby blankets, sweaters and layettes, with a softer hand and a nursery-ready palette. Red Heart Soft and Red Heart With Love are also popular for baby projects thanks to their smoother finish. All are machine washable so new parents can care for them the easy way.
