The second yarn that is perfect for baby
projects is Red Heart’s Comfort Sport. My
first reaction was “holy moly that's a big ball.”
Out of all the yarns I'm reviewing here, this is
the biggest ball of the trio.
Most balls of yarn are 100g to 150g;
depending on the weight of the yarn the
actual yardage changes. Sometimes sock
yarn is sold in 50g balls so you get one sock
per ball. Taking that as an average, you'll
empathize with me when I say Comfort Sport
comes in a 350g ball, in a sport weight that
comes out to 1144yds or 1050m. You can
make a 20" x 30" baby blanket with just one
ball.
With this yarn it would not be hard to come
up with one-ball projects; they would be more
properly labeled 5-project-balls.
Colors Baby Blue, Baby Yellow, Baby Green and Binky Print
This yarn is also 100% acrylic and machine
washable so there are no worries about
lengthy washing instructions scaring off a
giftee from using a hand knit gift. The sport
weight is a light (3) yarn so it would lend itself
very well to detailed work. The yarn itself
doesn't have a lot of texture, the twist in the
yarn isn't highly visible.
Since I already talked about Red Heart's
Cutie Pie, I'm just going to link to the quick
overview I did: http://knitmuch.com/whatyou-should-know-about-red-heart-cutiepie-yarn/.

Next, let's see a comparison between the
three with ideal project suggestions and more
knitting fun.
