Cozy Yarn for Comfy Crafts

When I tried this yarn, I was immediately impressed with how soft and easy to work with it was. The light heather color added a nice depth to my project and the finished product had a nice drape. The only downside was that it did tend to split a bit when working with smaller needles, but overall it was a great choice.

Pros
  • Soft texture, beautiful color
Cons
  • Splits when using small needles

Red Heart Soft Light Gray

I had plenty of this yarn to knit an XL sweater for men. I use smaller needles than the gauge requires as it is acrylic and I don't want the sweater to stretch and/or show through on my husband. The yarn results in a soft, warm fabric. I didn't split the yarn at all and as far as I can tell there are very few knots/frays (I'm on my fourth skein on my sweater). Will definitely be buying it in other colors for other projects.

Pros
  • Has an elegant drape perfect for fashionable looks
Cons
  • Thin

Not all Red Heart soft yarns are created equal

I have ordered several colors but most are in 50z balls. Heather Gray weighs only 4 ounces (look carefully at the label in the photo) and although it is labeled as 'soft' yarn and has 4 layers, like skeins of 5 ounces, the overall weight is much lighter than that of 50 ounces. So if you are planning to use this yarn in combination with other yarns, remember that it is much looser to crochet/knit and has a lower density and weight. Changing to a different hook or needle size solves this problem,

Pros
  • Available in Light Heather Gray
Cons
  • Crumpled
