Review on Soft Yarn 🧶 in White by RED HEART by Denise Davis

I have a sweater that I once knitted for my son that I wanted to copy for one of his daughters. The old sweater has 17 stitches and 25 rows for 4 inches. I was looking for a yarn that was tight and the ribs of this yarn were 17 stitches and 23 rows written by 4 inches on 5mm needles. So I started knitting. It's a baby sweater so I didn't swatch it as it's already small enough to serve as a separate swatch. Well this is going nowhere as the stitches on my Addi 5mm needles are pretty loose and I usually use a different size needle to get a nicer hand on the fabric and to close stitches that would otherwise snag would. on children's fingers. but that's already 20 stitches and 24 rows by 4 inches, which makes the same number of stitches 2.4 inches narrower than the original, and at the same time too loosely knit. This yarn is MUCH closer to DK weight than worsted weight. And unlike some people who thought it wouldn't split, this yarn split at the beginning of the sentence. I am not happy with this yarn from Red Heart, a brand I usually trust and a brand whose other yarns I use often. I will not buy this "soft" brand again. I'm starting to knit a sweater with a different yarn.
