Red Heart Super Saver Bitty Stripes Crayon Box Yarn - 2 Pack of 10oz/283g - 100% Acrylic - #4 Worsted (Medium) - 515 Yards - Knitting/Crochet

I’ve been crocheting for decades. This yarn is a bit on the rough side coming off the skein, but it softens noticeably after being washed. It goes through washer/dryer cycles beautifully and just gets better with time. It’s a breeze to crochet with, uniform in width, absolutely does not split. Just four skeins worked up into a gorgeous afghan and I was using a pretty solid stitch. The yarn colors and color changes along the skein are superb making it fun to use. The only drawback I noticed was that one of the skeins did have several knots which are always annoying to have to deal with. Overall, though, still consider Bitty Stripes to be a VERY budget-friendly winner that would be appreciated by even the least experienced crocheter. I’ll definitely buy it again.

Like most fiber enthusiasts, i had my run with Red Heart as a new crocheter. Sorry Red Heart but this was a huge "loose." I hated the feel of the scratchy yarn and as a left handed crocheter in a right handed world, I would not pick up the hobby again for decades. BITTY STRIPES FOR THE WIN!!! I actually watch a swatch video on you tube for this yarn. I had also heard some techniques for softening the fibers once the project is complete, not the least of which is just plain washing and drying. This works!.... and the yarn becomes very lovely to wear. CROCHETERS UNITE! This yarn was meant for you! Any crocheter knows that most variegated yarns are meant for knitted patterns and when you crochet them you get weird splotchy patterns. Red Heart Bitty Stripes knocked it out the park in a huge way with this! I have a Prineville on my knitting needles which looks nice, but the crochet sweater i am finishing is stunning! CROCHETERS this yarn is for us! The stripes crochet beautifully in every stitch ive tried. It works up best in medium-small chain lengths with the larger chain becoming more blotchy imho. The price is affordable especially if you can find it at your big box stores, which i could not. Why?... because every time they got it in stock, it sells out quickly, for good reason. I ordered a many of the two skein sets as I could afford and I am enjoying the beautiful colorways, great stitch definition, and easy care instructions. If this yarn has the durability super saver is known for, I relinquish my view to never use super saver and I will be buying more Bitty Stripes.q

This yarn surprised me. it was fairly soft but much softer after a first wash. Easy to use as it did not split. The color changes were different than most and added interest to my project.

Love the Bitty Stripe yarn. Much better price through Amazon than any place I have found the yarn. This yarn has become my favorite if not my most favorite yarn to use. The color way works up beautifully. Not the softest but very nice to work with. No splitting and the value can't be beat. The number of yards you receive is a great value.

The yarn is so good and just the right thickness. It held together really well and was overall a great buy! Its a beautiful color and I really enjoyed crocheting with it.

You get a good amount of yardage for the price, but the yarn is pretty scratchy and stiff, even for an acrylic. I'm just starting to learn to Tunisian crochet, so I wanted to see if I could stick with making a large blanket before investing more in tools and higher quality yarn (you'll need a lot of yarn for a large blanket!). This has been good to learn with, frogs pretty easily and no splitting issues. Just really stiff/scratchy (probably what makes the frogging easy). Also, at first, I thought the colors wouldn't look great for the blanket (the colors aren't solid, have visible white spots *on purpose*, but it does almost look like like an incomplete dye job). However, I love the way it looks so far. And as I've realized I needed more skeins, and placed additional orders for this same colored yarn, the dye matching doesn't matter at all. No factory knots found in 4 large skeins so far so that's great too (I've had issues with the few more expensive yarns I've used for other things). Even if I can't get it to soften up, this will make a good couch blanket at least! Edit to add: Prices have changed since I last purchased. Not sure I'd pay $10 per skein, it's pretty stiff. I got them at about $15/$16 for two which felt high enough. No stars removed from original review as I did not pay the higher price. Just saying!

A friend picked out this yarn for me to make a blanket for her. It is great, the super saver size is perfect to not order too much or too little. It is easy to knit with, machine washable and light weight. Super fun color and functional.

This is beautiful yarn! Love the colors!
