Hello! So I am gonna start my dress soon, probably next week. For those who donāt know, itās this one.
However, I have a problem.
The only yarn I have is a 100% acrylic, red heart super saver, #4 worsted. I have no idea what that means tho 
.
I want to wear the dress during the summer, but I fear it might be to hot. To anyone who has made a wearable, any tips? Is this ok or do I need to get a thinner yarn? Let me know!

Red heart is pretty itchy. Donāt know how else I can help tho.
Iāve never made any wearables but your gonna want to make it out of a comfortable yarn, not sure if it will be hot tho
i have no idea but im gonna comment to boost this post :)
I would 100% suggest mixing mohair yarn with a skinnier acrylic yarn so itās more airy and soft!
I love TCDDIY!! iāve never crocheted a dress before tho
mmmā¦so use whatever weight the pattern calls for, but iād go for a cotton or cotton/acrylic mix.
i use some sport weight (could be considered dk i guess) yarn for my wearables. like this panel of the top iām working on is said yarn.
and this top is the same yarn, different color gradient:
i use this specific yarn for a lot because i love itā¦but unless you want to do some math and figure out the pattern if the yarn weight is mismatched, i would find a cotton or cotton acrylic mix. if youāre ordering online, read reviews!
hope this helps! if you need any more help, feel free to @ me!
also the red heart super saver yarn is great for stuff that you need cheap yarn and lots of itā¦.as long as it doesnāt go on your body lol. itās sooooo itchy.
I would recommend like a 4 ply cotton yarn so itās not too thick. I like the Hobbii Friends 8/4 cotton yarn for wearables.
garments made out of red heart (for me) tend to be kind of heavy, so maybe during the fall with like a white shirt inside? or perhaps iād suggest a diff yarn! good luck
for summer clothes it would be better some cotton, silk, viscose or bamboo yarn. or a mix of those. I wouldnāt choose acrylic tbf 
I have never ctocheyed a dress, but I am making a pair of socks for my mom out of 100% cotton yarn (brand: āI LOVE This Yarnā, in my case it is āI LOVE This Cottonā but the same thing).
so cutttteeeee im sure its gonna be perfect!
Yes size 4 is perfect
I made a dress in red heart too and it isnāt hot so youāll be fine
But if your going for a drappier dress(tho it should be a lil crappy)
Use fingering or sport<3
Good luckkkk <3
Size 4 would work fine. If you want to use red heart it can be itchy, so you may want to line the inside of the dress with a soft fabric or something
I should do that!
