Red Heart Unforgettable Echo yarn 3-pack is a roving-style, 100% acrylic, medium-weight yarn that delivers soft, blended colour transitions and is machine washable and dryable.

This three-pack of Red Heart Unforgettable in the Echo colorway combines a striking gradient palette with a plush, velvety feel that’s friendly to skin and easy to care for.

The yarn’s durability and machine-washable finish mean finished projects keep their loft and appearance with simple home laundering.

What makes this yarn feel so soft and look like blended pastels?

Can I wash finished items made with Unforgettable Echo, and how will they hold up?
