Super Saver Chunky:
Super Saver has been the anchor of the Red Heart brand of yarn for years. Over the past year Red Heart has come out with a few new additions to the Super Saver family. Super Saver Chunky is the newest neighbor on the block.
Super Saver Chunky is a bulky weight (#5) acrylic yarn. It gives you everything that you have come to know and love about Super Saver but now in a bulky weight. This chunky yarn is great for creating quick projects with its thicker weight.
Made from 100% acrylic, it is machine wash and dryable and because it’s Super Saver you know it will look great wash after wash for years to come! You will find 19 different colors of Super Saver Chunky to choose from. Without dye lots you know you will always have a color match no matter when you pick up your supply of yarn.
As with all Super Saver yarns, this product holds the OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 certification.

Hi Marly! I just received my Red Heart Super Saver Chunky in Flamingo colorway yesterday and can’t wait to start the bag—only I’m making four bags for our girls trip in Vegas and what better color to pick than Flamingo! and I love the pattern of the bag. I believe I will line it with cotton as it will be used as a carryon for the trip home for my out-of-state friends. Thank you for the lovely pattern!
