Our take on the Red Heart Super Saver Acrylic Yarn for Knitting & Crocheting

Red Heart Super Saver is a worsted-weight (category 4) acrylic yarn sold in large skeins, and it has been the standard beginner and budget yarn in the US for decades. Solids are 100% acrylic with 364 yards per skein; multis and flecks are shorter at 236 yards, and flecks add 4% other fibers. It works on US 8 knitting needles or a 5.5 mm hook at about 17 stitches and 23 rows per 4 inches. It is machine washable and dryable, which makes it practical for blankets, afghans and kids' items. The trade-off is hand: it is coarser and stiffer than softer acrylics and cotton blends, and colors in the multi and fleck lines can vary between dye lots.

What reviewers say

Knitters and crocheters treat Super Saver as a dependable workhorse: cheap, plentiful and easy to wash. Many find it scratchy next to skin and stiffer than premium acrylics, so it is favored for blankets and practice rather than wearables.

Questions and answers

Is Super Saver good for beginners?
Yes. It is a standard worsted weight that works on common needles and hooks, and its low cost makes it forgiving for practice swatches and first blankets.
How does it compare with softer acrylic yarns?
It is stiffer and coarser than premium acrylics and cotton blends. That makes it better for blankets and home items than for soft wearables.
Can I machine wash and dry items made with it?
Yes. The label calls for machine wash and tumble dry, no bleach and no ironing. It is also dry cleanable.
Why do multis and flecks have less yardage?
Multis and flecks come in 5 oz skeins with 236 yards, while solids come in 7 oz skeins with 364 yards. Plan yardage by the specific color line.
Will two skeins of the same color match?
Solids are not dyelotted, but multis and flecks are, and matching is not guaranteed. Buy enough for a project in one order when you can.
What hook and needle size does it use?
The label suggests US 8 (5 mm) knitting needles or a 5.5 mm (I-9) crochet hook, at about 17 stitches and 23 rows per 4 inches.
