I have been knitting with Red Heart Yarn for many years, I make the scarfs for the Special Olympics. Also make hats for the Hats for the homeless as well as Head Start Children that can't afford to have them. The yarn always does up nicely so don't have to worry about the project I make. They also make good baby gifts and afagans so you can see I realy like to use it.

I love Red Heart!

I love Red Heart Yarn! Happy 75th Birthday! I have been using it since I was a little girl. I love the old colors, and all of the new colors! I just go nuts whenever I am in a store and look at all the yarns by Red Heart. SOmehow it is comforting to know that Red HEart has been around since I was little, and still is going strong! Great prices, too! Keep it coming, Red Heart! I love ya!
