Yarnspirations has launched two more yarns this June 2025. They are Red Heart Super Easy and Red Heart Super Easy Stripes. Both are extensions of each other.
I had to look up what makes this super easy. I'm an experienced crocheter, and how will this enhance my life? I had to go on a quest to figure this out.
Two things jumped to my conclusion:
- Value
- Speed
When I learned to crochet back in 1988, I used four-ply medium worsted yarn I picked up from Zellers. My mother wanted me to have success and gave me a 10 mm / N/P hook, and to an experienced crocheter, the hook is way too big for the yarn. I blasted through ball after ball of Sayelle. The stitchwork was too loose, but I didn't know any better. My mother guessed that if I would take too long with the project, I would quit.
This new brand reminds me of my mother, not in the sense of going back to what I used, but in the mindset of wanting success. This new yarn is a #6 bulky weight, so an 8 mm / L/11 hook can be used. It means it gets closer to what my mom did for me, inspiring me to pick up crochet as a form of personal therapy.
Thicker yarn means faster. A bigger hook means lightning speed.
