Red Heart Super Saver is America's leading brand of value-based acrylic yarn on the marketplace. It's been around a very long time and is a staple yarn, meaning a regular yarn many people have in their yarn collections at home. There are over 120 colours of this yarn, though your retailer may carry a handful of the most popular yarns. Online retailers usually have many more options to show you the colouring and purchase it to ship directly to you.
One valid complaint is that this yarn can be harder on the skin while crocheting or knitting because it is considered a value-priced yarn. It has not gone through all the bells and whistles of other yarns to make it softer, and more processing increases the cost of the yarn. The plus side is that this yarn washes really well and softens up at that time.
Having yarn options is excellent, and realizing that not everyone loves the same yarn.
