Red Heart Soft Essentials

Over the weekend I was at my local Michael’s store to help introduce the brand new exclusive Red Heart yarn at their store. This new yarn is Red Heart Soft Essentials. Red Heart Soft Essentials has everything that you already love about Red Heart soft but is now a bulky (5) weight. I can’t wait for you to see the new patterns that have been designed with this yarn. *This post may contain affiliate links*
