Red Heart Super Saver® Jumbo™ 4 Medium Acrylic Yarn, Cherry Red 14oz/396g, 744 Yards

After the change from a Canadian manufacturer of this brand about 2003, the quality had decreased some. It still works up well. It has more joins than before, and it takes more care to not split the yarn while working. The no dye lot solid colors hold a consistent match of shade between skeins made a few years apart. It feels good, softness yes, and consistent 4-weight worsted thickness and weight. Pumpkin is a good shade to use if orange is your school colors. I've been using Red Heart Super Saver for 50 years, mostly crochet, knitting loom, and plastic canvas 7-count, 1 over 1 , cross stitch. With crochet hook (and I tend to crochet tight) I tend to use a J (5,75mm hook). I don't go finer than an H(5mm) with this yarn. Knitting loom 3/8” to 5/8” peg placement. Cross stitch on 7 count plastic canvas, %2318 tapestry needle. (18 tapestry has a dull point and are cheaper than yarn needles) Storage, two 14 oz skeins will fit in a two gallon ziplock bag, buy brand name freezer for durability. This yarn is dye-fast, and washes up well. Suggest Woolite laundry soap, cool water, gentle cycle, lay flat on a screen or mesh surface to dry. Afghans, ski caps, mittens, scarves, and anything crocodile stitch, works up well.

"I was ready to order online from somewhere else and it was a 1-2 week window to receive items. I then checked Walmart online and that particular item was available same day, so I placed a pick up order. Price was within pennies of the other online option so I it was a no brainer. I was able to have items ""same day""."
