Red Heart All in One Granny Square Aran - Lily PAD Yarn - 3 Pack of 250g/8.8oz - 100% Acrylic - #4 Worsted (Medium) - 381m/417Yards - for Knitting, Crochet and Amigurumi

I'm new to crocheting and this was only my second real project. After acquiring this yarn, I read and watched enough reviews of the granny square yarn from people who apparently know what that they're doing that I decided it was probably going to end in frustration if I tried to use it "properly." The reviews were pretty consistent about saying that there's usually a lot of frogging and re-working involved to get the colors to end exactly as they're supposed to when you're trying to use it for making granny squares. So, I just used it to make an simple double-crochet afghan. And I have to admit that I was a little disappointed to learn, as I used the yarn, that the five colors repeat in exactly the same pattern, with the same amount of each throughout. I had hoped that there'd be some variation so that if you were using it for granny squares, the resulting squares wouldn't have to be all identical. But whatever.As for using the yarn as I did for my project: I liked it. I LOVE the colors (actually had a hard time choosing which colorway to get because I think most of them are gorgeous). I found the yarn easy to handle, very little splitting (taking into account that I don't really know what I'm doing yet), makes a nice, fairly soft, stretchy stitch. I would buy it again. My understanding is that acrylic isn't super-soft and I'd say this is NOT super-soft -- probably wouldn't want to wear it as a sweater against my bare skin -- but it's actually pretty nice for an afghan.I did notice that some colors within the colorway some of the colors were consistently more or less bulky or thin than others. I have no idea how the stuff is put together, but it seemed like there were points where I could even see where one color had been attached to the other. I didn't see this as a problem -- changing colors is going to result in joins and they're not always invisible. I'm learning to crochet as a way to relax and just enjoy creating stuff, so I'm not so serious about it that an occasional imperfection in the yarn is going to ruin my project. I actually find a bit of variability and imperfection to add interest to the project.Anyway, as a beginner, I really find no fault with this yarn, for the purposes that I used it for. I very much like the afghan that I made, as does my cat -- had to pry it out from under her, in fact, in order to take the photos (please excuse the cat hair). I doubt that if I do get into making granny squares that I would purchase this yarn for that purpose. I think I'd rather have the control of making a variety of variations on a given color theme, rather than a whole bunch of absolutely identical squares. But I would purchase this yarn again (as well as other "styles" of Red Heart's product line) with no reservations.

The yarn was absolutely perfect. I was in the middle of a project and realized I needed more, but when I went back to the store—nothing. The color was completely gone. I checked two other locations and spent over a week searching online.Finally, I came across it on a yarn website, but the price was ridiculously high. Still, I was grateful because I finally had the name of the color! I searched it on Amazon and—bam! Found it. And even better—I got three skeins for the price of two.The only downside was the delivery. It came in a clear plastic bag, which was fine, but the driver left it right on the ground in front of the door. It would’ve been nice if they had placed it on the stool that’s literally right there

Since Joann Fabrics closed I have been unable to find more of this yarn to finish my project. Luckily, I found it here on Amazon and I was very pleased that it matched very well to what I was already using.

The Super saver may not be the softest yarn but you get a lot for your money. Its longevity speaks for itself. It has been around for as long as I have been alive. And we are still using it .

I love gradient/variegated yarn, and these color palettes are great. The color changes are in a different order than pictured, but that didn't bother me; it turned out beautifully for a C2C baby blanket! Only downside was that it wasn't as soft as I'd hoped. It improved after 1 washing, though, so there's still hope for that snuggly feel! Will definitely buy in other colors again!

I used this yarn to crochet a throw for my sister, and it turned out beautifully! The yarn is soft, easy to work with, and has great stitch definition. It made my project look polished and cozy. I’ll definitely be buying more for future gifts!

I love this yarn. I have never found any knots or thin places in it and the price is amazing compared to Walmart or any craft stores

I recently used this incredible yarn to create a stunning crochet ruffle skirt, and I couldn't be happier with the results! The quality is exceptional, and I absolutely love how it turned out. I can’t wait to wear it! When I tried it on for sizing, it felt so comfortable—definitely no itching. Given its quality, the price is truly fantastic. The size matched the picture perfectly, and it worked beautifully for my project. I’m thrilled!
