Red HeartSuper Saver Yarn, Lavender

Red Heart is my go-to brand for worsted weight. I crochet a dense-stitch hot pads with this yarn. I've used different colors and find them all standard in color (dye lots are a thing of the past). This Lavender shade is beautiful. The "Super Saver" skein is generously sized.

I don't understand the complaints of being rough. It's not cashmere but definitely soft enough for a scarf or blanket. If you want cashmere soft, spend more money

super scratchy. the most so of any in the super saver line I've tried so far. Couldn't stand to crochet with it as it was so just finished soaking it in water, vinegar and hair conditioner to soften. Waiting for it to dry now and hoping it worked. The color is much darker than it appears in the photo as well. It's not going to work for the project I intended it for so I'll find something else to do with it.I really wish that Red Heart would offer the same quality throughout this line. It's such a great price but you never know what you're going to get from one color to the next. Same are awesome (white), others are soft and pretty but split badly (Icelandic) and then there's the sandpaper rough ones like this lavender color. The thickness and thinness of the strands are all over the place too. They're all supposed to be a category 4 but it's not really much of a guide when one color seems twice as thick as another. I guess I just don't understand the fiber production process. Shouldn't it all be the same exact yarn just dyed different colors?

It looked nice with others
