[NFB-Krafters-Korner] yarn

[Ericka]

That makes a lot of sense. I don’t like buying anything online. Clothes need to be checked for size, fabric feel etc.  A size 14 isn’t always a size 14 you know!!!

Probably red heart is worse than some others about consistency, but it can happen with other brands, as well. When using wool, you can probably block things to make them fit if the difference is not too extreme. With acrylic, you just have to plan to compensate. I wonder how some people avoid trouble if they do not buy yarn for an entire project at the same time, so that they know if it is all what is wanted. That is another reason I prefer to buy in stores instead of online unless I really know the yarn.
