I have loved Red Heart Yarn for many, many years, and I also am a crochet designer. The yarn is reasonably priced, easy to work with and I recommend no other brand. I have some blankets that are over 30 years old that are still good-I gave them to the cats but they enjoy them! They're a little thin but still in use! There hasn't been a bed in this house that didn't have a Red Heart Yarn spread on it. Also, if I am going to put a lot of hard work into a design and an article, I want good yarn that will last.

There are several types of yarn, wool, cotton that can be utilized for specific purposes. Red Heart Yarn acrylic is great for making slippers, as the hold is stronger than a softer more stretchy type of yarn. Basic Red heart, the super saver are good ones for slippers. Also, it's all in how one stitches their yarn product. My mother made afghans years ago using Red Heart brand and the afghans are still holding up. For those consumers that are having problems with Red Heart acrylic yarns, use the yarns for their purpose. Washing garments or blankets in the correct lukewarm to cool temperature, and air drying or very low fluff heat in a dryer helps to keep the yarn products long lasting.

they should make a yarn that is 50percent cotton & 50 acrylic or wool or wood fiber like bamboo or some other type of wood fiber to make it softer & much more environmentally better than using acrylic-which is a fossil fuel to begin with & is NOT a sustainable product of the earth!!

Using Crude Oil to make Yarn is not sustainable do you have a longterm sustainable solution to keep your business going and to create yarn like using cotton, silk or wool or at least in part @Redheart
@marial.rapaglia40416 жыл бұрын
you are absolutely correct-using crude oil is a fossil fuel in the raw & cannot be regrown like wool or cotton can which is environmentally better & biodegradable & also feels better on the skin naturally. I heard that they can make yarn from bamboo wood

I only use Red Heart but sometimes it is frustrating. Some are heavier (especially the darker colors), some are quite light and they often aren't wound tight enough. I would sure like to know why there are such discrepancies but I can't get a response from the company. Anyone here have any input? I'm thinking of switching to another Coats and Clark product but I like the price and color selection of Red Heart. Besides, I have a lot of it! Such fun to see how things are made.
