Yarn Review! Red Heart Its a Wrap AND Its a Wrap Rainbow
Thursday, June 7, 2018
I did a yarn review on Red Hearts new yarn cakes "Its a Wrap" and "Its a Wrap Rainbow"
Both are very pretty. Let's discuss the differences really quick.
 |
| Its A Wrap |
"Its a Wrap" has super cute movie-related names and a nice strong contrast between the three colors in each cake. No gradient at all. It is bold, clean and modern. In store, you will find it in the crochet thread area of your local Michaels. There are 7 beautiful colorways! 
and they are running $9.99 in store and at RedHeart.com. Its a bit less if you use this link and buy it at Amazon.

| It's A Wrap Rainbow |
"It's a Wrap Rainbow" is a polar opposite. Colors are bright and tropical. It romantically melts one color into the next. The yarn is made of 4 untwisted stands and the colors change by altering the color of each strand independently. This is a bit more work because you need to put in the effort to be certain that you pull up all 4 of these strands each time you pull up a loop. But the effect is nearly "optical illusion" addictive and I cannot get enough. It's lovely and the fabric you create is so light and perfect for the summertime. I have a few of the pricier cakes of this type from Etsy and I share a comparison in the video review above. (Watch Here!)
The Price is 11.99 at Joann's or on RedHeart.com or you can purchase here on Amazon.
Thanks for visiting with me. If you have any questions or a request for a yarn that you would like to see reviewed please let me know in the comments! Take care!
