Is one skein enough for a shawl?

Yes for most shawls. A single 10 oz skein carries a light shawl, and larger wraps may need a second.

How many skeins for a throw blanket?

About four skeins make a show-stopping throw in a simple stitch pattern. Size and gauge change that count.

Is it machine washable?

Yes. It is 100% acrylic and can be machine washed and dried on low, which suits everyday blankets and hats.

It is worsted weight, so it works with most standard worsted patterns and a range of hook and needle sizes.

Does the color change mid-skein?

Yes. The ombre runs through the skein from light to dark and back, so the gradient appears as you work.

Is it good for beginners?

Yes. The smooth worsted yarn is easy to see and forgiving to rip back, and the ombre hides small stitch unevenness.

Our take on the Red Heart Super Saver Ombre Worsted Acrylic Yarn

Red Heart Super Saver Ombre is a worsted-weight 100% acrylic yarn that fades from light to dark and back within a single skein, so gradient projects need no color changes. It is the same durable, machine-washable Super Saver base, now in long self-striping colorways. It suits shawls, blankets and hats where you want a gradient without joining skeins. Against hand-dyed gradient yarns it is far easier on the wallet and easier to care for, but the acrylic is coarser and the color repeats are fixed, so you cannot control where the shades fall.
