We just added four new shades of Red Heart Super Saver and we wanted to see how they work up. Seems like there is still plenty of winter to come, so we decided to try two of the new colors for really easy cowls. They’re the perfect quick projects for staying inside and relaxing as you knit or crochet.
Butterfly combines wonderful colors that are taken from nature’s display found in the spring or summer garden. We see Butterfly used for fashion accessories, blankets, throws and ottomans. Or wing it and try it for whatever you’d like to make next. It’s shown here as the Rev Up the Color Cowl to crochet.
Lagoon is a rendition of colors that remind us of a dream vacation at the beach or a tropical lagoon. The vibrant shades work together for any season or reason. Wouldn’t it be a fun baby girl blanket, child’s sweater, or warm hat? See it here as the Warm Colorful Cowl to knit.
Panther Pink may be the grooviest of all the new Super Saver colors. Choose a romantic comedy to watch and make something cool to add to your wardrobe. Perhaps you know someone that would love having a new hat or cowl in this vibrant shade. It’s perfect for anyone who enjoys a delicious splash of color.
Neon Fleck probably looks subdued and a bit boring on your computer or tablet screen. But when you see it in person it is strewn with bits of neon green, neon pink and neon orange for an awesome take on a flecked tweed. Combine it with neon Super Saver shades like Blacklight, Glowworm, Pretty ‘n Pink and Flame.
I just happened to find 8 skiens of Butterfly at my local Wal-Mart. I’m using it to make a sweater and absolutely LOVE this color! Can’t wait to get more!!
Love em all now if Walmart will just expand their craft departments in their stores they lie say that they are stuck with what you send and you say you send what they order (<—makes more sense)
i hear you all on the wal mart-mine has 1/2 of a row
going to a bigger store today
wish meluck

When my local Walmart opened a few months ago, they had yarn by the boucoups, now they hardly have any. And it’s not just the Red Heart, it’s several other brands too.
I am going to have to order mine, these colors are luscious. Will be going through my patterns for projects.
Panther Pink is the custom yarn I would design for myself-thanks for bringing it to life!
How come it’s so hard to find these colors in local stores. Michaels carries such a limited selection of colors
Michaels seems to be slowly changing to its own brands. Same thing with paints. Thank goodness for the Internet.
Same with Hobby Lobby. Seems they have done away with Red Heart altogether.
I love these colors. For some reason my Walmart in GJ, CO had the NEW colors on clearance for only $2.00 each.
Lucky YOU..
Agreed! I found the Lagoon colorway on clearance at my local Walmart this winter, but hadn’t realized it was a new RHSS colorway until I saw this blog post. I hope these new colorways get added to the Multicolor Coordinate Chart PDF soon, if they aren’t there already; I make use of that chart a lot when picking out yarn for the granny-square afghans I so often make.
I LOVE flecked yarn and the idea of neon flecks. I cannot wait to knit with this new yarn color.
Red <3
I have seen and purchased all of these at my local walmart, all except the panther pink. Maybe they never had it or maybe it sold out very quickly lol. Will purchase some from your site. Very pretty, thank you red heart <3
Just bought some of this at my Walmart on clearance
I really love the new colors but would LOVE to see the older Fleck yarn colors brought back.
Love the new colors. My favorite is the Panther Pink. Can’t wait to get some!
Ohhhhh, that Panther Pink!
Simply LOVE these new colors, ALL of them. Trying to make up my mind which to order but I THINK, at this point, Panther Pink wins!!! Great, great colors, Red Heart!!!
That neon fleck is perfect! I was just wondering the other day if there was anything like this out there to buy.
WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Absolutely beautiful new colors. Can’t wait to get out to the store and buy some. Keep up the good work.
Leave it to the Redheart designers to continue to inspire us needle workers with new colors. You’ve set my imagination into full gear once again. Thank you. As a handicapped lady I keep busy with your yarns especially Super Saver which is hard to find in stores.
I’ve given up trying to get the colours I want from Wal-Mart or Michael’s. Since Target bought out Zeller’s I’ve ordered my yarn directly from Red Heart. Much easier to get enough skeins of the same dye-lot.
I love your yarn but our walmart has (maybe ) 20 colors is there a way you can get more variety to them?
How can I make the finished baby blanket softer with this yarn? Love the colors, but it’s too rough on a newborn. Suggestions? Thanks.
Just wash and dry the finished blanket.
Steam it, but be careful not to touch the iron directly to the yarn. I have steamed several items and it always makes the yarn super soft.
I really love the new colors along with everyone else. This is just a hint for folks whose local Walmarts do not carry the colors. Walmart carries many many more brands and colors of yarn on their website than they do in any of the stores near me, even in Austin! And you can usually get “site-to-store” delivery at no charge.
When you order online so you get the same lot numbers in the multicolors?
Hi Vickie, Thank you for your question! Unfortunately we are unable to guarantee lot numbers in our online orders.
Your Wal-Mart gets what the corporate office says they can have. It is the same for all the stores and all departments. The corporate office will even control the temperature of the local stores. Makes no sense to me. So I never depend on my local Wal-Mart for my yarn. I order it online from one of 4 sources that I can trust. It just depends on how fast I need the yarn. And yes, Red Heart is one of the sources.
I just wish that when Red Heart (and all yarn makers!) would show a swatch of knit and crochet for the variegated yarns… I might not like the colors but then LOVE the pattern that they make when stitched up. I say a swatch for both because the colors act differently when knit and crocheted. Great brights!
every new color I get, I make a two round granny square and place it in a snack bag with the label. when I get ready to make something new I can lay the squares out to see what looks best together. then I keep the squares in a clear tote with lid til next time.
Great idea Barb! Thanks :)
i hear you on wal mart
mine has 1/2 a row and it never seems to change

I hate shopping at Walmart. So I don’t! I’d rather drive up to 100 miles to a JoAnns than go to Walmart. By the way did I say I hate shopping at Walmart!
Excited about new yarns, sad that it is out of stock at this time. I will have to keep an eye on them!!
Interesting new colors, I have always been addicted to the wildest mixed up color yarns. Right now, that neon fleck is yelling at me. It will be perfect for a “walkies” sweater for my Service Dog, MacTaggart. Not only pretty, but functional, too. Great for after-dark outside trips to be seen by cars driving nearby.

I love Red Heart yarn, it’s my go to yarn for almost all my projects. Quite a few years ago I started a project using their blueberry pie. It’s a varigated with blues and purples. When I started to run out, I went to try to purchase more. I found one or two left here and there and asked friends a family to be on the lookout! I finally found out that it had been discontinued. We had no advance notice, it just disappeared from the store shelves. I think they should give us some kind of warning when a particular color will no longer be available. A simple sign on the bin saying this color will no longer be available after a certain dadt. It certainly would have saved me alot of heartache.
Are you discontinuing the DK Sage and Med Thyme. I started a afghan with dk sage, went to Walmart and Michaels and could not find any also the same with med thyme. I am so frustrated after spending hrs on these 2 projects, Just would like to know where and if I can still get them
Hi Linda, Thank you for your question! Dark Sage has been discontinued. Medium Thyme is not discontinued and can be purchased from RedHeart.com. http://www.redheart.com/yarn/super-saver-economy?variantPage=3
