Red Heart Super Saver Metallic Yarn — Light Grey 3-Pack, Worsted #4, Machine-Washable

Red Heart Super Saver Metallic Yarn in Light Grey (3-pack) is a worsted-weight, machine-washable acrylic yarn with subtle metallic sparkle designed for durable, everyday knitting and crocheting projects.

Bring a hint of shimmer to scarves, hats, blankets, and amigurumi without sacrificing the trusted durability of Red Heart Super Saver. This 3-pack provides multiple full balls of light grey metallic yarn so you can maintain colour and sheen consistency across larger projects. The Super Saver Metallic line keeps the same bulky-friendly gauge and easy-care performance as classic Super Saver, while a fine metallic strand is incorporated for a gentle sparkle that catches light without being overpowering.

How much yarn do I get in this 3-pack and what is the weight and length per ball?

Each ball in the solids line of Super Saver Metallic is a #4 worsted-weight yarn with generous yardage to cover many projects. The balls in this series are sized to match Super Saver’s common standards so you can plan yardage accurately when following patterns.

• Solid balls: 198 g (7 oz) and 333 m (364 yd) per ball.
• Multi-colour/prints: 141 g (5 oz) and 215 m (236 yd) per ball (not applicable to this solid light grey).
• This 3-pack contains three full solid balls in light grey for consistent dye lot and shine.

What fibre content and care instructions should I expect?

Super Saver Metallic is primarily acrylic with the additional metallic strand incorporated for effect. The yarn is intended for easy care and everyday use, making it suitable for garments and home items that will be washed and handled frequently.

• Content (solids/stripes/prints/variegates): 100% acrylic; flecks formula varies.
• Care: machine wash and dry for most crafted items — follow the product label for specific care icons.
• OEKO-TEX tested and free from commonly harmful substances, providing safer handling and finished items.

Which needles and hooks work best, and what gauge can I expect?

Red Heart Super Saver Metallic keeps the familiar worsted gauge so you can substitute it into patterns calling for #4 yarn. Use standard needles and hooks to achieve the recommended stitch tension for predictable results across garments and accessories.

• Knitting needles: 5 mm (U.S. 8) — gauge 17 sts and 23 rows = 4" x 4" (10 cm x 10 cm).
• Crochet hook: 5.5 mm (U.S. I-9) — gauge 12 sc and 15 rows = 4" x 4" (10 cm x 10 cm).
• Suitable for blankets, scarves, hats, sweaters, and amigurumi where worsted-weight yarn is specified.

How does the metallic finish affect stitch definition and finished look?

The metallic strand in Super Saver Metallic adds a subtle shine while preserving stitch clarity, so textured stitches and colorwork remain visible. The sparkle is integrated into the plied yarn rather than being a heavy metallic thread, reducing stiffness and keeping fabric drape comfortable.

• Delicate sparkle enhances textured stitches and trims without overwhelming patterns.
• Soft drape similar to regular acrylic Super Saver, comfortable for wearables.
• Good for both everyday items and projects that benefit from a refined shine, such as holiday accessories.

Who this yarn is for: crafters who want the reliability and wide colour selection of Red Heart Super Saver with a refined metallic accent. It’s ideal for knitters and crocheters making wearable accessories, blankets, and amigurumi who need machine-washable, worsted-weight yarn with consistent yardage across multiple balls. Choose the 3-pack of light grey when you want ample matching skeins for larger projects or several coordinated items with a touch of sparkle.
