Overview
Red Heart Super Saver is a 100 percent acrylic worsted-weight yarn, sold here in a solid blue, with about 364 yards per skein. It's sized for a standard 5mm knitting needle or 5.5mm crochet hook.
This is Red Heart's long-running budget yarn line, a medium (worsted, category 4) weight acrylic meant for everyday knitting and crochet rather than a specialty fiber blend. Acrylic construction makes it machine washable and durable for items that see regular use, like blankets, hats, and amigurumi, though it won't have the drape or warmth-to-weight ratio of a wool or wool-blend yarn.

Who it's for
Knitters and crocheters working on blankets, hats, or toys who want an affordable, washable acrylic will find this a straightforward pick. Natural-fiber projects or ones needing a lighter drape call for a different yarn.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Machine washable acrylic construction
- Standard worsted weight matches most 5mm/5.5mm patterns
- Affordable for large projects like blankets
- Not a natural fiber, so less warmth-to-weight than wool
- No reviews available yet for this specific listing
Performance notes
As a medium worsted weight, it works up at a typical gauge for a 5mm needle or 5.5mm hook, matching most patterns written for worsted weight yarn. Acrylic fiber means it holds up to machine washing and resists felting, which suits it to kids' items, blankets, and other pieces that need regular laundering.
