    Making my FIRST Scarf !!!

    Hi, Yawl!

    I am working on a scarf for me, I love these colours but I am not too sure about the yarn itself. It is Red heart super saver called Banana Berry. It feels really stiff to me. I wonder how it washes, I think I'll do a good size swatch and wash it and see how I like it. It feels stiff to me, but I crocheted it pretty tight.

    Who has experience with this?

    here are a couple of pics:

    Happy Crafting,
    Landon

    I heard if you spray your projects with Downy They will soften up. You can try it and see. Good luck On your scarf. I love those colors, have a few skeins of that myself.

    Wash it in fabric softener and it will be soft, at least that is my experience. I like those colors as well!

    I haven't used that one, but I do find that the red heart brand can be stiff.... The color is great!! I love it!! It will make many great things I think.

    Use Red Heart Super Saver a lot. It will definitely soften once you wash and dry your project a time or two. Love the color you are using for your scarf!
