If you enjoy knitting or crocheting, you are probably already familiar with the Red Heart line of fine yarns – chances are that your great-grandmother was! The company's name has always been synonymous with quality, known for its huge selection of colors, styles and textures, and always a fine hand. Red Heart baby yarn is among the finest, producing a delicate weave that drapes nicely and washes quite well – you won't, for example, find pilling or color fade a problem with these exceptional yarns. The gifts you make will be truly treasured by the recipient.
Now, even if you have never crocheted or knitted before, you're up to learning with Red Heart baby yarn's downloadable instruction booklets (in .pdf format), 'Crochet Made Easy' and 'Knitting Made Easy'.

While you're at their website, browse around and see the fantastic collection of lovely yarns, in varying weights, textures, colors and variegated colors with which you can create fabulous, unique works of art. There are several groups from which to choose – the Red Heart Baby yarn line consists of eight different yarns in many colors, all suitable for making baby gifts.

You'll also find more than 800 free patterns! Think of the possibilities! You can make booties, hats, sweater vests, slippers for kids, baby bags and, of course, blankets.
While you can order directly from the Red Heart website, they also provide a 'store locator'.
