    Red Heart Super Saver is my favorite! They have temporarily changed the manufacturing over to Turkey, and its softer now. But I prefer the old scratchy kind lol! Nothing compares to the feel of it when it’s made into an afghan.
    Also, I’ve heard from friends that the Big Twist can bleed color. Something to consider.

      Interesting Crystal. I've used the following and my favorite to least is: JoAnns Big Twist, Hobby Lobby I love It, then Walmart brand because I buy the basic colors usually at Christmas and I go cheap...lol. I really don't see many pastel greens to dark greens or lime greens (usually a light sagey green and a dark green but that's it on greens...2 color choices and that's it ...smh),l. Same with browns.... beige to brown tones or pastel yellows to deep ochres and golds. Color choices just aren't there for autumn colors. grrrr. Blues never turn me on. They're too wimpy in color...I only like intense aquas.

    Red heart is my last choice also. It never really softens up. That's all we used to have in our area for many years so we had no choice. I've not tried most of your collection except hobby lobbey yarn. I've always tried to find something else. That's why I love watching you because you have really opened up the yarn world to me. Who would have thought I'd be ordering yarn from England. I'm loving it. I quilt and sew more than anything else and any handwork, tatting, needlepoint, cross stitch, embroidery, black work, bobbin lace. My grandmother and aunts taught it all to me. I definitely fall into the Fiber Artist category. Thanks for opening up my world of crochet and knitting. It got me through this covid time. Now I want to try basics..

    I love Big Twist especially the sparkle ones. I'm going to go check online for basic, I'd like to give it a try.

    I have learned so much from you Crystal, about Yarn. I learned To crochet from my mom Way back in the late 50s and 60s. I remember it seems all of the yarn she could get to use seemed to be course, and not soft. It seems there was some soft yards but now there are so many that are so soft to work with. When I started crocheting again after a lot of years I found that I prefer the really soft yarn. I can’t seem to want to make very many things out of the not so soft yarn.

    100% agree! You know your yarn Crystal. Currently working with Premier Premium Acrylic worsted. A dream to work with. So soft. Great stitch definition too and priced right.

    Haven't tried them all but 100% agree about Red Heart being so stiff.. I've been crocheting for over 45 years and i can't remember last time I used Red Heart I just won't. Love your videos!!

    What a great video! As far as I know, I've only used red heart and big twist. I found big twist a lot softer! I used a lot of red heart for a blanket I made and it was definitely chafing my fingers. I do love the red heart ombre though such a nice color transition

    I'm with you on the number one yarn tonight, I also have a lot of the Premier Basix yarn, I do like the Red Heart for making baskets because of the stiffness. Enjoy tonight. Thanks again.

    I agree with your assessment. I do love the Big twist. I like their assortment of TYPES/STYLES of yarns too. I have never ever cared for the RedHeart. Back in the 90's I wasn't a fan but that was really the only stuff around. thanks so much for your share!! I love your reviews!!

    Premier is my favorite for the price, but I love the way "I love this yarn" feels to crochet with.
