Red Heart Super Saver Metallic Yarn — White 3-Pack, Worsted #4 Acrylic with Subtle Shimmer, Machine Washable

Red Heart Super Saver Metallic in white is a worsted-weight (#4) acrylic yarn with a subtle metallic shimmer, sold as a convenient three-ball pack for knitting, crocheting and general crafts.

This three-pack gives you reliable, machine-washable yarn with a faint sparkle woven through the strand so finished pieces have a bit of shine without dominating the look. The yarn retains the durability and ease-of-care Red Heart Super Saver is known for, while OEKO-TEX testing confirms it’s free from harmful substances. Use it for blankets, hats, amigurumi accents, trims, holiday projects, and any craft that benefits from both a classic worsted gauge and a touch of metallic flash.

How does this metallic yarn perform compared with standard acrylic Super Saver?

The Metallic version keeps the same base weight and construction as classic Super Saver but incorporates a fine metallic filament that adds shimmer. It behaves the same in tension and stitch definition, with only a slight change in drape due to the metallic element.

• Weight: #4 — Worsted, consistent with Super Saver gauge expectations.
• Care: Machine washable and dryable for easy maintenance.
• Durability: Acrylic base keeps it strong for frequent use and washing.
