A blanket project
I use the paintbox chunky for the granny squares and the red heart super saver for joining and the borders. These yarns work well for my design. I now have enough for four blankets.

Yarn is yarn is yarn, right? Nope. I don't have a lot of money, so Red Heart Super Saver is my go-to. Most of my yarn in my stash is over 10 years old. I've got Red Heart yarn in my box so old that it has dye lot numbers. I was shocked at the elasticity of the new yarn, and one skein of the new yarn knits more volume for less yarn than that old stuff in my box.The yarn is so vastly different I am wondering if Red Heart changed the way they make the yarn.
I needed my order quickly for a project I was working on and Lovecraft came through for me. I love this yarn and I love fast shipping!
Can't go wrong with this brand. Red Heart is just the classic to have in your stash. Lovecraft has very good pricing and a full stock.
I bought this yarn to make pom poms and after searching for a while for a good yarn I finally found one with this!
I found the yarn high quality as you would expect from Red Heart. It came out of the skein easily and smoothly. The color was just as pictured in the website.
I already knew the quality of Red Heart Super Saver yarn and I needed a small quantity of it for a loom along blanket project that I am a part of, but couldn't obtain at my local store. I went by a previous experience with love crafts and decided to order through love craft. I was not disappointed. I received my well known yarn in a very prompt time.
Red Heart is a crafters staple. It has greatly improved and evolved over the years. These skeins seem to last forever.
Same old go-to yarn. Had to buy this as a substitute for paintbox and even though it's not at all as soft, the color is working ok. When I wash the final project, the yarn will soften
Great yarn to work with and color was great
