Red Heart Super Saver Jumbo Yarn, Buff

Top was broken-can still use

Exactly what I was looking for! Delivered the next day.

Love these jumbo skeins of yarn and the color was perfect for the project I was working on.

It was exactly what I needed to complete a project that was half way done.

I was hoping that the yarn would be the beautiful wine color shown in the photo... but... the color name is "cherry" red. So, I was just hoping. They need to make the primary photo showing the orange/red it actually is. I am using it to crochet over plastic hangers (helps to keep clothes on the hangers) and so it's not like I'm knitting a sweater or something. Still, the color matters. I received the "jumbo" skein. While the color is called "cherry red", it really it is an orangey red. Eh. If they had replaced the photo with the cherry red and not the wine colored skein, I would have rated 5 star even though it's not exactly what I wanted because they would have honestly represented the color. I rolled the dice - HOPING I would get the color portrayed at the main photo. Its acrylic yarn good for craft and some knitting or crocheting projects.

No dislikes with Red Heart yarn

.. but this particular skein is very lacking, in that it is not woven as it should be. May be a ‘knock off’?IDK

Red Heart has had my heart since my grammy introduced me to crocheting my first granny square afghan at age 7! That's the only brand she ever used. It is a sturdy yarn that one will probably out grow if a sweater or knit item to wear and still be color fast. I have one of my grammy's afghans she made before I was born, I am 67-years-old, and it is still in shape and not faded! I LOVE the Jumbo skein as can make my knit trinity shawls to at least 55" with a solid color on #11 needles with 63-stitches and only have the beginning and ending tails to tag. VERY few knots found in Red Heart. I have completed 9 shawls since March (about 5 months, each with a solid color Red Heart) and NO KNOTS!!!! HIghly recommend. Prices seem high for most of the colors here, but the $6.44 free prime shipping is cheaper than our local Wal-Mart at $6.49, if they even have stock on their shelves. (I detest Wal-mart, anyway--and even more so now with Covid.) To find this on Amazon and no shipping is AWESOME. Our nearest Wal-Mart is 25-miles away, so add gas and time to higher price than Amazon, for the $6.44 colors, who delivers right to one's door!

I bought buff based on the picture, forgetting that colours on the computer are not accurate because of the different lighting. It's too dark for the project I have in mind but I'll definitely use it for other projects. For reference, the colour is more of a light tan or sand than a slightly beige, off-white.

It was the right colour of yarn was very about it but the price was too high couldn’t find it anywhere else so I still did buy it
