Overview
A 12-color kit of Red Heart's #4 medium worsted weight acrylic yarn, 93 yards and 50g (1.7 oz) per color, sized for amigurumi and other small crochet or knit projects.
This is a color-variety kit rather than a single large skein, so it suits projects that need several colors in modest amounts, like amigurumi figures, rather than one garment in one color. Red Heart pairs it with a QR code linking to patterns, a nod toward beginners who want a project to start with rather than just yarn.
- 12 colors, 93 yards / 50g each
- #4 medium worsted weight acrylic
- Works with 5mm needles or 5.5mm hook
- Machine washable and dryable
Who it's for
Fits crocheters and knitters working small, multi-color projects such as amigurumi, or anyone wanting a broad color palette to test swatches. Not the pick for a single large project like a sweater needing one color in bulk.
