When I'm sad or hurting really bad, I watch your videos. They cheer me up.
Hi Reta, that is so sweet :) I hope you're feeling happy right now!
Thank you for the clarification Jayda! I love when you do these video's because crochet is a learning curve for me and I like to have this knowledgeable information when shopping for yarns and tools. X
Hi Cynthia! We're happy to be helpful where we can :)
That pink caught my eye immediately. 💖💖💗💗💕💕😍😍
it's SUCH a nice pink colour!!
Exactly, I love it 😍😍😍
Thank you for explaining that both yarns are interchangeable. I'm one to go nuts trying to find any differences while I'm shopping! Doesn't work well! I'm looking forward to using the new yarn! Blankets here I come! Have a great day from a gal down South in Mississippi!
Thank you so much! I bought 20+ Comfort skeins direct from RH last year and I have always wondered about the stitch guide and softness compared to the SS branded. I also have lots of Caron yarns in #4 as well and have been concerned with mixing it with the comfort due to the gauge being odd. I will definitely do the swatch idea to compare them.
Thank for explaining the similarities differences with the Redheart yarn Jada.
Wow I loved this video. Last year I had purchased 20 some skeins of the comfort yarn when Red Heart had a 30% off sale (last year they sold directly from their site which was far better then the now combined site) and had been wondering about the size gauge they have on the label as the yarn feels just like the super saver yarn I have in stock. When looking at patterns I had often worried that if I use the comfort yarn instead of the super saver that the project suggests, if the project will come out looking too tight or smaller then indicated. I have been crocheting for years and rarely can I get a full afghan to come out to be the size indicated. Yes, I adjust hook sizes, I adjust tension, the project comes out not needing blocking, the stitches all look the same, (no variances within the project) and yet the projects are always a few inches off on large projects. Small projects like the beautiful sweater I made for my Pomeranian came out just right. Go figure. I had been thinking it was the comfort yarn that causes the size issues lately. So glad to know it's just me lol
Jayda, thanks for taking the time to point out the differences of the skeins, etc...always worth listening to.....to learn something new.
I have never seen or heard of Red Heart Comfort in any stores near me before, but thank you for this video I love hearing about different yarns
I'm beginning to think the Comfort might be carried in specific stores! Our local Walmart carries it, and someone else mentioned that she found it on line and in store at Joann's (which is an American chain) but different stores might carry different products!
I'm in the USA I know my Walmart doesn't have it, but when I go out of town next time I will check at Joann's Thank you
Yay another comparison video! I love the idea of comparing the yarns to know which would be better for which project
There are so many choices out there!
Thank you so very much Jadainstitches,, lol... I learned 2 things from this video, first the Comfort Saver,, & 2ndly, so HAPPY they work together, 😀😀😀 Have Happy Crocheting week lol 😀😀😀💖💖
Hi Amanda! We're so glad we could be helpful :)
These comparisons are incredibly helpful. Thank you!
Hi Liana, we're glad we could be helpful!
I've never seen comfort in the stores near me but I have wondered if the comfort is a better choice. Thank you for the info & I love that bright sun behind you! 🌞🌞🌞
Hi De! Thank you for watching :) It was such a nice sunny afternoon (made the room nice and warm too!)
I miss this video😰 Thank you! I have those at my wal-mart near me.They just receive new baby pop yarn from bernat. 😍
I love the super saver better it's softer and the red heart comfort is not as soft but you get more for your money. Have you see the red heart pooling yarn❤ so beautiful. Happy Canada day to you and your husband. 🍁
Does Comfort soften with washing, in your experience? TIA.
Interesting. I made a project with Red Heart Comfort once and I thought it felt a bit thicker than Super Saver to me. But it could have just been that colour or that particular ball.
There is DEFINITELY variation of thickness between balls of the same brand, especially colour. I find the Spring Green by Red Heart, for example, is really thin compared to all the other super saver colours!
Loving these informational videos of different yarn! Thanks Jayda!
Thank you for watching!
I'm from Yemen. Huge fan of your tuts. and projects. Unfortunately, we don't have these kinds of yarn around here. Great video, quite relaxing& super entertaining. Good luck.
Hello from Canada, and thank you for watching!
Thank you. I love Red Heart Super Saver too. I haven't tried Red Heart Comfort yet.
They're a handy way to buy a lot of one coloured yarn at once :)
Hi Jaida, the video was very helpful, I also wanted to learn about super saver, never used it before . Thanks for the information,you sure did the homework for us, God bless.😁💙
Many thanks for your quick response
Have an awesome day 😀
Is the comfort softer than super saver.
Hi Sandie, I don't feel any difference between these two yarns, they're pretty much identical!
I also have never seen comfort here in the USA, but very interesting, you teach us very useful tips all the time, Thank you Jayda 😊
Hi Nancy, Anne (below) just mentioned that she found some on line and in store at Joann's :) I have also seen them on Amazon, but they're typically cheaper at Walmart!
While I realize this is an older video, what I'm wanting to know is if the Comfort softens up in the wash like the Super Saver. Thanks! Love your videos!
Hi Donna, I have added a little hair conditioner to my washing in the past to help soften up the yarns, but after a few washes I don't notice much of a difference in texture between the 2 :)
@@JaydaInStitches thanks Jayda!
I have never seen Comfort in any stores in my area. I see the super saver and Red Heart with Love which is softer in comparison.
Hi Terry, I haven't come across the "With Love" yet, but I tend to find both the Super Saver and Comfort at our local Walmart :)
I have just purchased Redheart comfort in a huge ball is 1700m. Or 1859 yards they were in our local Walmart. We live in Ontario Canada.
Thank you Jayda. Very informative about yarn.
As always very helpful
Glad to hear!
Thanks Jayda ! That's great to know., you always have great tips 👍 have an awesome day☀️
your crochet friend Sue💕
Thank you Sue :) You have an awesome day too!
thanks so much i love hearing your thoughts on these 2 i love them both
Hi! We're happy to be helpful if we can :)
I have never used the comfort .... it looks very cozy. I own the pretty in pink and it is always a big hit when I use it for gifts.
Hi Lori! I love that pink colour it is just so....Pink! The Comfort doesn't feel any different than the super saver, and I figured it might be a bit thicker (because sometimes it seems to be), but ultimately, it's really not that different!
Thank you! Super helpful!!
Glad it was helpful!
Hi 👋. Thank you some much for your information and your time. I appreciate
Hi, thank you for watching :)
Thank You 😊 that helped in my newest project.
Hi Rinny, that's great! Thank you for watching :)
Thank you for testing it out!! I was wondering that myself!!
i live in NY state.. Walmart online has Red Heart Comfort yarn in many beautiful colors.. price range $6.69 to $9.96 for the 867 yds.
Thank you for sharing!
Thank you I have never seen the comfort yarn but your video was very informative
Hi SueAnn, thank you for watching :)
I love your shirt lol 😂 that’s so cute. See you Friday!
Thank you Kristy :)
That's quite odd that they'd yield very different results when worked up since they're seemingly identical. I personally haven't found the Red Heart Comfort in any of the craft stores in my area or at any of my local Wal-Marts. I'll have to buy it online and see for myself. You're right about the variegated yarns being much smaller in skein size. The Red Heart variegated yarns come in skeins of about 236 yards and the regular Red Heart Super Saver comes in about 364 yard skeins. But this is very informative 😀
Hi Jonathan, I have to admit, I expected there to be a difference since often the Comfort appears a little thicker than the average super saver, but I tried it against a few super savers and they always work up nearly identical!
Thanks
Thank you , Jayda😊
Very helpful information. Thank you... love your channel. ❤👍😉
Hi Patty, thank you for watching!
Hmmm what a curiosity. Same materials, same weight, same everything.....but different stitch gauges??? Is this to maybe sell more product perhaps? Or is comfort maybe softer to the feel? Sometimes super saver can be scratchy. Thanks for doing that experiment for us!
Hi! I know, odd, right? And no, there isn't a feel difference between them either....I think it's mainly colourways and skein size :)
Question: I find I can never match the gauge swatch size for any project. I try using different hook sizes, tightening or loosening my tension, etc. I end up always missing the count. Not enough stitches, I go up in hook size, now too wide, I go back in hook size and loosen stitches. Then once I hit the mark there, the height doesn't work, So, as I adjust the hook or tension to get the width right the height doesn't work. If hit the height the width doesn't work.
I'm not new to crocheting and I have no trouble working up intricate stitch afghans and having them come out looking perfect, but they never match up in size. Any suggestions? Is this normal? I would love to make a sweater but afraid it will come out all wonky.
(I'm not new to crocheting and I have no trouble working up intricate stitch afghans and having them come out looking perfect, but they never match up in size. For afghans, slight size differences haven't been a problem. I just would love to make something like a sweater where hitting gauge is a big deal)
Hi! I have often found that my samplers don't match up with the gauge suggested - if it's close I go for it! A lot of the time it has to do with the yarn specified, matching yarn weight can often be the biggest issue. If I'm making a sweater and my gauge is close, I'll err on the side of a slightly bigger hook or slightly thicker yarn just to be safe - better it's a bit big than too small!
You did an excellent job of explaining...as usual but what I was waiting for was the meaning of 'Comfort'' vs 'Super Savor' in terms of why 'Comfort'...is it softer? (I can't stand knitting with 'SS' or Hobby Lobby's 'I Love This Cotton' anymore) Thanx :)
Hi Kathy, that's the funny thing, these really are practically identical, there is no real feel difference between them!
I never saw RH comfort here in the US. Where did you get it? I am sure it is online. Also, is there any difference on how they feel after you work up some stitches? Thanks so much.
Hi Stacy, I typically find the Comfort at Walmart and I've seen it carried on Amazon (although it tends to be cheaper at Walmart). There is no feel difference between these two yarns :)
Jayda InStitches thanks so much. Walmart definitely has great prices.
Hi Jayda,
Is the “comfort” and “jumbo” the same in feel, softness etc.? Thanks this was a great video. I’ve never seen “comfort” in any of the stores.
Thanks for the test that was really good.
Hi Nancy-Jo, I'd say the Comfort feels nearly identical to the Super Saver, only it can be just a tad thicker in some cases (both Comfort and Super Saver weights seem to vary a little from colour to colour).
Thank you for answering that question I was wondering the same thing I got both supersaver and comfort in black and I was wondering if you can interchange them as they feel exactly the same
ty
I was hoping you’d address the feeling, the softness. Are they both fuzzy? Is one smoother?
Hi Teresa, they're very similar. There can be a little variation between colours (I believe dyes can have an effect on the softness or smoothness of some yarn) but generally they are the same. On occasion, the Comfort is just a little thicker than the Super Saver.
What a great video! I've nver heart of Red Heart Comfort. I guess I've been living under a rock, lol! Is the texture the same? I would think that Comfort would be softer than Super Saver. Also, where do you get the Comfort yarn?
Hi! We usually find the Comfort at walmart, I wouldn't say it's softer, but it's definitely a little thicker than the super saver :)
Found these on Amazon prices range from 7.99 up to like 18 dollars worth it for that much yarn
Good info, Jada!
thank you god bless you what you do
Thank you so much Lucy 😊
I like the comfort ones, because GIANT BALL OF YARN. Lasts me awhile haha.
LOL Yes!
Thanks Jayda for sharing the information. Can you do a video about cotton yarn too. I was just wondering that there are so many tutorials of granny squares and Afghan using acrylic yarn, but not much with COTTON? Any special reason? I know cotton is a bit pricey, but does it feel make the project different to what it was supposed to be? Sorry i m still learning about yarn 😅 any information from a pro will be helpful, thanks
Hi Bee, thank you for the suggestion :) I know around where I live, cotton is available in very limited quantities, colours and styles. For the most part, it's best used for dishcloths, and not fancy blankets or clothing. It can be a little more expensive than acrylic, but what's available just isn't as nice as what is available in acrylic. I'm sure it changes from place to place, but I have a feeling that might be a big reason why for most of us crocheters :)
Does one feel softer than the other?
Hi Pat, no! They feel exactly the same!
Can you tell me if the Super Saver Jumbo skein of yarn makes for a pretty long scarf?
HI Patrice, it's nearly 450 gram, so depending on the stitch pattern and how wide you want to make your scarf, it could make a VERY long one!
Thanks Jayda for this piece of information. I need your help; I made granny squares from 2 different Heart Super Saver colors .Upon joining them one turned to be a bit bigger although I made the exact number of rows , used the same hook size and both are supposed to be the same brand & same weight 🤔
Hi Laila, there are often some differences between yarns of the same brand and product line! It can be a little irritating, but not a total disaster :) You can lightly steam block the smaller square to loosen up the stitches and it will be more in line with the sizing of the other ones :)
1st!!! love this channel yet I can't crochet for toffee xx
# TheSweetLife watch this channel and you will be able to crochet in no time. Jayda is an amazing teacher and she has basic stitch videos for beginners! 😄
Kathleen Vassallo that's for sure👍
Kathleen Vassallo yes I'll try that I've watched a few videos and I'm going to try the Jaco lantern (hope I spelled that right)
# TheSweetLife I have never watched that channel. Just don't give up. I would say the toughest part of crocheting is learning how to hold everything in two hands and feed yourself yarn fluidly so your tension is consistent. All that is just practice. I've been crocheting for twenty years but only started expanding my knowledge from watching Jayda. Being able to SEE someone do the stitches helps so much!
Kathleen Vassallo thank you so much for the tips!!!
👍 Good information!!! Greetings from Arizona! 🙌💞
Hello from Canada, Elizabeth!
Very helpful info. TFS.
Interesting.. What about Red Heart Love.. I just purchased my first skein if the Love..
Hi Sandy, I haven't come across Love yet, I might have to do some hunting to find some :)
Hi Jayda,love ur videos. Always learn something new. On the Love yarn from Red heart. I bought some on their website one year. And its kinda thick yarn. I only bought it bc it was 25 0/0 off. But,didnt really care for it. Lily Baker
I'm so distracted by the cute shirt you're wearing, where did you get that, if you don't mind asking, thanks a milly😊
* giggle * Thank you Carmen :) I picked that up ages ago at ... Bluenotes, I think?!
Jayda InStitches is Bluenote a clothing store? I'm really interested, I love cute Tees like that
Hi Jayda, thank you for the info. I find RH Super Saver too harsh for scarfs. Does it get soft after washing it? I bought some, but returned it.
Hi Bertha, I've found that hand rinsing a finished item in water with some hair conditioner softens the yarn and makes it a little more comfortable. Yarn also gets softer after a wash or two :)
Jayda InStitches: Thank you so much for your quick reply!
thank you
interesting experiment results. I believe two different people came up with the measurements and their tensions were varied.
Hi Melissa, absolutely. We all have different stitch tension, and one will often find small variances between yarns of the same product line too! If gauge is very important to a project, then working up swatches is always advisable!
when would it be important?
When making anything that was size specific, like clothing or if you're mixing the yarns and you don't want ANY variation in stitch sizing :)
Question, is the comfort RH yarn softer than the super saver??
HI Juanita, I don't feel any difference between these two yarns, they're pretty much identical!
Hi Jayda! I was wondering if you could make a video talking about how to determine how much yarn you need to fulfill a certain project. I've run into a few situations where I've purchased too much yarn or too little because I was essentially guestimating. I know it have something to do with guage, but I'm a little unclear about how exactly you use the gauge.
Also, I find that there are fundamental differences between the way Super Saver, Comfort and Soft Red Heard yarns feel. Is there a particular reason for this?
Thank you so much! Lots of love xoxo
Hi Ioanna, thank you for the suggestion :) I haven't encountered the Red Heart "soft" or Love yarn yet, but I do buy a lot of the super saver and comfort and to me, there is no real feel difference between the super saver and the comfort. On occasion, I feel like the comfort is a bit thicker than the super saver, but mostly they appear and feel to be the same! There can always be small variances between yarns inside the same product, so that might account for some of your experiences :)
I am working on a project doing half double crochet and can I used red heart Arylic yarn? Blair
Hi! If a project calls for a specific yarn, it's best to try and match it (fiber and weight category) as best as possible 😊
@@JaydaInStitches thanks you 😀
Jayda! I tend to use Red Heart Super Saver most of the time. I have a question for you? Have you been in a Wal-mart lately I was in there the other day and found that wal-mart has there own yarn it is called mainstays basic yarn.Was wondering if you have try it and what you thought of it. Thanks Diane
Hi Diane, I haven't seen that product yet! Maybe we'll get some here soon and I'll give it a try!
do you like 100% have to use the recommended crochet needle for this because i got a 6.5 crochet needle but since im new to this i didnt look at the recommended size i got the needle before the yarn
Hi Ashlynn, the hook suggested on the label of ANY yarn is just there for you to try the gauge (also included on the label), You use whatever hook works best for YOUR tension, or the pattern you're working on 😊
@@JaydaInStitches okie thank you so much for the information!!!
lm looking for numbers 5 yarn
Hai Mam.This is Nivedha from India.Where can I get these types of yarn at low price?
Hi Nivedha, Thank you for watching :) I'm not sure what your options for yarn shopping in India are, but if you can shop on line at Amazon, you might want to give that a try :)
How do you arrange your crochet hooks?
I keep them handy where I can see them mostly, and usually in vintage cream and sugars :)
Thanks for the info.
Hi Lily! Happy to be helpful :)
I feel the comfort feels softer than the super saver. But not enough where you can't use both together on a project.
In Canada, we find the Super Saver and the Comfort at Walmart. I don't really a difference in softness between the two. We find the With Love at fabric stores (in Alberta anyway) therefore it's rather expensive and the Soft at Michael's. Our colour choices are limited too. So far, i've only seen 2 of the new ombre SS at Walmart and would love to get my hand on the Lions Brand Mandala but Walmart Canada does not carry them. Ahh, the woes of the Canadian crocheters!! Lol
Both pill after washing.
You are adorable 💓
Please make a squid crochet video
Hi Lucy, you might want to check our our Baby Squid pattern we have over in our Etsy shop (link is in the description box). Thank you for watching and for the suggestion :)
It didn't let me download it
And then there is Red Heart Soft yarn, also a 4 weight. Decisions, decisions..
LOL, so many yarns, so little time!
Super ssbrr
I learnt to crochet with Jayden in Stitches on UTube, excellent tutorials, I recommend her channel, try it.....
Hi Karol! Thank you so much for watching :)
Karol Jelbert
About QUALITY?..
Hi Lida, this is standard acrylic yarn, it's good for blankets and hats, scarves, mitts etc. It's warm and durable :)
I thought she said “stitch god” at one point
