Red Heart Comfort Yarn-White & Opal Shimmer

I purchases this yarn for three reasons. 1. It was on sale. 2. It comes in a 12 ounce skein. I3. There are many wonderful colors to choose from. I repurchased it because it is luxurious and easy to crochet. Four skeins made a 60" square afghan that looks great and is great for friends and family gifts, and the community service quilts that I donate to the LA County hospital through St Camillus Church. At such an affordable price I an able to donate twice as much! Thank you, Yarnspirations!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received my Red Heart comfort yarn last week, it is gorgeous! I bought the white yarn with the sparkle for Christmas, I got 4 balls, the yardage is a nice amount, I am sure I can make a beautiful blanket, a few shawls, or other projects that will be fun for the holidays. It looks like sparkling snow. It is so nice and soft I can't wait to work with it :) it feels very nice in my hands. I wish I purchased more of it! I am so happy it is soft; it is hard to work on projects with rough yarn. I am delighted at the softness and I am sure my fingers will agree :) It's so beautiful for such a great price! Thank you Yarnspirations for the inspiration to make lots of nice things, I will have to purchase more of this!

I ordered this yarn in both solid and ombre colors. I make prayer shawls for my church and I like to make them with solids, a combination of solids, ombres and a mix of solids and ombres. I am going to have so much fun deciding which combinations to use. The yarn is soft and does not split abd works ip beautifully. Wxcellent selection of colors.

i like the softness, color, the quality and love working with this yarn. im very satisfied.

Needed extra yarn to finish a project and could not find it in stores but Walmart.ca was able to get me what I needed at the store price. Thank you Walmart.ca.

I love all red heart yarn. I have used other yarn from other companies but I always find myself returning to red heart yarn. That is the one I started with when I started crocheting way over thirty years ago.

Beautiful yarn but wish you kept more in our local stores. Sadly I had to return as it was the wrong yellow I needed to match some I already had. Even some of the basic colors would be a pleasure just to go bet downtown without the wait. Many of us all have felt the same after talking to friends

I crochet baby blankets for donation so I am always looking for economical yarns. Red Heart Comfort filled that need. As with some Red Heart yarns, this was typically rough. It felt scratchy going through my fingers and a bit 'stiff'. When my project was finished, I ran it through a gentle cycle and dried it on low. This resulted in a blanket I felt was acceptable for donation.

The good thing about this yarn is that it's reasonably priced. I crochet afghans for homeless people so I go through a great deal of yarn. And the afghans need to be durable because they get washed every single day. Red Heart Comfort is great for that. I find it easy to work with, too. Worsted weight yarns are actually different thicknesses--they vary slightly but they do vary--and this yarn is nicely thick. What I *don't* like is that it tangles easily when you pull one of the ends from the centre of the ball. About seven out of ten balls get knotted up and you spend far too long untangling and unknotting them and then you think, "I will never, ever buy this yarn again!" And then I do, of course, because it's such good value. In other words, seven out of ten balls are a frustrating experience.

I bought this yarn in "Gravel pirnt" and I really liked the colors but the yarn itself was really unpleasant to the touch. It might have been good for a dishcloth or scrubber of some kind, but I expected yarn called "comfort" to be nice and soft. Red Heart Super Saver is softer, and that's saying something.
