Red Heart Scrubby Smoothie, Caribbean Yarn

Color: •Brite Pink- closely resembles Caron's Simply Soft 'watermelon' color. Vibrant & pretty (not neon)•Tan- I was hoping more khaki but still nice (similar to Red Hearts acrylic 'buff/beige' shade but has very very slight peach hue to it)Softness: much softer than Lily's cotton yarn & a bit more pliable (perhaps bc it's made in China & Lily's cotton is grown in U.S.?)Thickness/density: Med 4-ply & recommends 5.5mm/I-9 hook (note: thickness seems a bit it's thinner than Lily or Peaches & Creme which recommends a 5mm/H-8?)Weight: says 3.5 oz/100g /153yds (note: ball is smaller than a ball of Lily or Peaches & Creme 2.5oz/70.9g/120yds as seen in the picture)Softness: softer than Lily (in the middle between Lily & Premier cotton blend yarn)Nice to work & more pliable than Lily. Soft enough for blankets or worn projects but I prefer Lily for durable projects that may require more structure (i.e., amigurumi or dish cloths)

I'm new to crocheting and this yarn was very challenging for me to use. I kept catching the crochet needle in between the strands. I finally gave up and tried other yarns. Now that I've been at it longer, I will give it another shot.

(I'm trying to write a review for every product I buy, as a way to pay it forward for how helpful I find everyone's comments and ratings. Some reviews are easier than others)Red Heart has a bit of a reputation for low-quality, low-priced yarn, and it's not entirely unearned. However, this is absolutely beautiful, soft and as brightly colored as pictured; a lot of RH (especially super saver) has a tendency to be scratchy or unravel, but this held together beautifully.

I definitely forgot to read how much was in a ball but it ended up being perfect for a few washcloths! Great feel and lovely to work with. 10/10 will buy again

This yarn is 100% cotton, soft, and twisted nicely. I like this yarn much better than Lily Sugar & Cream. Scrubby Smoothie yarn twist does not separate when knitting like Sugar and Cream does. It is softer but still gives good texture to the knitting stitches. Usually have to buy this yarn online as it is not available at a retailer in my area. Usually not a good price on Amazon but this one was at the time of purchase. I will buy more whenever the price is reasonable.

I got this brand and tried to learn to crochet... I got it down after a bit. But, I'm reviewing in third person .. See I'm new so I don't know what's good or bad, but someone helped me and she is an old hand at crochet. Her input is this it isn't very forgiving there isn't much give in the threads so when you get a tight stitch there isn't enough give when you have to stitch into that same stitch later. But, overall it feels nice to me and the finished product feels good and looks good. SO I'm happy with it I've also tried other mixes of red heart and have been told they are better. SO the brand is good, my choice of composition and project were bad for a first timer.(Great color for a baby YodA)

Scrubbie smoothies name is misleading. I would like a scrubbie that is not smooth. Seems quite the opposite in labeling. I wanted a scrubbie yarn.

This yarn is so nice and soft. I am using it for wash clothes and makeup removers. Soft enough for baby blankets and clothes.

Loved the Christmas colours,could not find them anywhere local.The wool came ahead of time too which was excellent.

This knits up nicely but it is very expensive in these colours...not sure I would buy again for that reason...

Algodón!!!

Perfect for Christmas!
