This week I've been playing with a new yarn - Red Heart Bunches of Hugs! It's so cute and soft and is working up into a beautiful pattern. So I just have to share - by giving away 5 balls of it on Moogly!
Disclaimer: This giveaway was sponsored by Red Heart Yarns.
Red Heart Bunches of Hugs is 100% Acrylic, Medium or Worsted weight yarn - that would be a 10-12 ply in the UK. And in addition to being soft, cozy, and coming in a gorgeous selection of colors... it comes in some really really big balls!
Each ball of Red Heart Bunches of Hugs weight 14oz, or nearly 400 grams (the Prints are 10 oz and 284 grams). That's 948 yards in the solids, and 678 yards in the prints! This means fewer ends to weave in on your large projects - love that!
Red Heart Bunches of Hugs is available in 18 colors - a series of coordinating prints and solids. I love that there are lots of baby friendly colors, but several that are sophisticated enough for adult garments too!
And one of the other exciting things about Bunches of Hugs is that it is Oeko-Tex certified. I just learned about this designation myself, and I think it's a fantastic thing! This means you can totally trust Red Heart Bunches of Hugs to be free from harmful chemicals (including the legal ones), and safe for use with babies - even worn right up against the skin. ♥
I'm just now playing with this yarn myself, but so far I'm loving it - Click Here to watch my video review! Here's a sneak peek of the pattern too... Click Here for the Bunches of Bobbles Blanket! It calls for one ball each of 3 colors - I'm using Rain, Capri, and Magical, but of course, you can use your favorites!

i love the colors shown. I have a retired friend that crochets lap throws for Dialysis patients, and I would love so much to be able to give her this yarn. She spends many hours a day helping patients, and it would be wonderful for her to be given something in return for the love she shows to ill people.
Rita
I love the colors of this new yarn! I have one month old twin grandson & granddaughter I hope to knit or crochet for and these new yarns would be perfect.

Do you know if it works for the planned pooling technique? Using granny stitch? Looks like have long color changes.

There are so many useful things I could create for my senior citizen friends!!! I love the holidays as well. This yarn looks so really delicious!!! Good luck to all the entrants too!!!
Tina
Thank You Tamara for another great giveaway! Your generosity knows no bounds!!
The yarn looks fantastic and I love the coordination factor. I was wondering the same thing as Nina,
would it be good for color pooling. I have to admit that I have never tried color pooling but it's on "the list"
of things to learn! 😉
Linda Riley
This yarn looks really nice. I am looking forward to your new pattern using color coordinated yarns. I didn't know about the new designation either but what a joy for babies and their moms.
