This is $10+ for just 1?!! Why? Is it 14k gold?

Yes, that appears to be the current price. You can buy it from the Mary Maxim site for $3.99 plus $5.50 shipping (if you buy about 25 skeins it's $4.74 per skein with shipping.) :-)

How soft is this yarn? Is it soft like the red heart with love?

This yarn is very soft and cushy, made a beautiful shawl for my daughter to use at a wedding. Looked beautiful. Do no know if it is as soft as red heart with love as I have never used that brand.

i want to make a beanie hat for summer wear , is thi too heavy?

It’s not particularly heavy, so it would likely depend on how tightly your stitches will be placed, and whether you’re knitting or crocheting.

I used this yarn as part of a tree skirt. It was not scratchy and made it beautiful.
