Red Heart Super Saver Yarn 1000g vs Super Saver Yarn Solid Colors E300B

Both are the same yarn: Red Heart Super Saver in worsted acrylic, same gauge (17 stitches and 23 rows per 4 inches on US 8 needles) and same no-dye-lot solids. The real choice is skein size. The 1000g skein suits blankets, sweaters and long projects where you want fewer joins and one matching batch. The 198g skein suits small projects, trying a color, or adding a shade to a project already started. Owners consistently call it durable and machine-washable; the common complaint is that it feels stiff and scratchy until washed.

• Choose the 1000g Super Saver if you are making a blanket, afghan or garment and want one large, continuous skein with fewer ends to weave in.
• Choose the 198g Super Saver E300B if you want a single ball for a hat, scarf or small project, or need to top up a color you already started.
