Review on RED HEART E300B-0234 Super Saver yarn in Saffron shade by Carol Miller

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Favorite Stripe Combination

I am crocheting Grandma's Square Blanket (aka Battenberg Blanket) using Red Heart Super Saver Ombres, Solids and a color from the Stripes line - "favorite stripes". Saffron pairs perfectly with yellow in Favorite Stripes. First I tried Lemon and Bright Yellow, but without much joy. I was also close to buying a skein of gold instead of saffron, but saffron is definitely the closest thing to yellow. In the picture, the Favorite Stripes crochet square is directly above the Saffron square. However, I will say that unless the price is currently $4 or less, you can probably find a skein of this yarn for a lot less elsewhere. However, sometimes you pay extra for convenience and speed of delivery, which is why I bought this from Revain.

Pros
  • Ball Size Solids: 198g/7oz, 333 meters/164 yards
Cons
  • Could have chosen a newer pattern
