  9. Hi debi what wonderful colours on the blanket. I have a question before I buy some red heart online somewhere how easy is it to work with and is it soft.

    1. Thanks Rob. Red Heart Super Saver is easy to work with. It is a worsted weight, 4-ply acrylic that is washable and dryable and it has a great range of colors. Some of the colors will be soft and some of the colors will not be soft. When I'm done crocheting something and it is stiff and scratchy - I just run it through the dryer with a damp towel and it will come out soft as butter. It's also a very economical yarn - it's around $2.99 for a 7 ounce solid color skein or a 5 ounce variegated skein. :)
