Red Heart Yarn Revisited

The "with love" is a lot better. It is soft and I loved working with it.

Thanks Twinfaye, I haven't worked with it yet. A friend of mine has and she had problems with it splitting a lot on her, how did it work for you?

No, it didn't split on me. I made 2 afghans with it back to back and it worked fine. The problem with it is that no store close to me carries it. Have to go to Cookeville (45 miles) and I can't go very often.

I was going to say that Red Heart has a new yarn out too! I use Red Heart because of its price and durability!
We really do help here-now we are psychiatrists-we cure phobias-right BarbySue?!!!

Yep. Curing my phobia of Red Heart yarn as we speak! LOL

Red Heart has a new cotton yarn blend out but the only place I can find a LIMITED amount of it is ebay. It is called TLC Cotton Plus.

Just finished my last two pajama bags made with Red Heart Super Saver Yarn. After completing them, I did a quick wash with laundry detergent, let them soak in fabric softner for about an hour, rinsed, spun them out in the washer on gentle cycle and then put them in a pillowcase with a fabric softner sheet. They are as soft as baby yarn now & smell so good. I know it is a lot of extra work to get rid of the stiffness but it worked great on the finished projects (having already started them when this posting began). Hope this is helpful.
