Red Heart Comfort yarn really surprised me to death! If you have played with Red Heart Comfort in the past, you will know that if you made a blanket, the blanket probably could stand on its own, it was rough and really stiff.
This yarn can be found in select Walmart Canada stores and online, of course.
Yarnspirations asked me to do the Study of Determination in Red Heart Comfort yarn and I was a big whiny baby about it. I'm like I want to crochet a blanket, not a cardboard box. They asked me to get the new yarn and try.
To my utter amazement, this yarn was significantly upgraded when I tried it back in 2011. The yarn is soft now and I don't feel like fighting it as I crochet. What a great improvement. If you have played with this in the past, be sure to check i tout again and see if you can see the difference.
