Sage Green Top
I loved the colour and the feel of it. There’s something about crocheting with cotton. I made myself a patterned top. It looks good, I just need to block it to improve it even more.

Product Description
Paintbox Yarns Cotton DK is a 100% cotton double knit with the crisp, dry handle that makes every stitch read clearly. Paintbox Yarns is our own brand, designed in house.
Ideal for colourful stripes, intarsia, fair isle or knitted toys. Cotton has no memory and no halo, so nothing blurs: single crochet sits square, cables and textured knits keep their edges, and colourwork stays sharp instead of softening at the joins. It is a standard choice for amigurumi and toys, where a tight fabric with no fuzz is the whole point, and equally for summer tops, market bags, dishcloths and baby blankets that need to survive a hot wash.
The palette is built to be mixed. Shades are developed as a coordinated range rather than a set of one-offs, so stripes, granny squares and intarsia can be planned across the whole collection without hunting for matches.
Specifications: 50g balls, 125m (137yds). Tension 22 stitches and 30 rows to 10cm on 4.00mm (US 6) needles; 4.00mm (F) crochet hook. Machine wash at 40°C, do not tumble dry, warm iron, do not bleach. Made in Bulgaria.

Customer Reviews
Not impressed
It was my first time using this yarn and I was not impressed. It is very thin, too stretchy, and knits up inconsistently. The increases on the ends of the rows caused holes even though I tried two different increasing methods, undoing my work both times to try to see if I could solve the issue. I would not buy this yarn again and I do not recommend it for sweaters. I am using it for a child’s sweater and the pattern was made with a cotton DK.
Hello! Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that the yarn wasn’t quite suitable for your project. From the information provided, the holes at the increases may not necessarily be related to an issue with the yarn itself, as the way and location of the increases are worked can also affect this. That said, we completely understand that this yarn may not have been the right fit for your sweater, and we’re sorry it didn’t meet your expectations. If you could please email us at hello@lovecrafts.com with your order details, the pattern name, and the increase instructions you’re following, we’d be happy to take a closer look and see if we can help.
Wonderful Soft Yarn
Extremely soft and easy to use for my crochet project, I'm so happy. I just kept squishing my project as I was working on it because I love how this yarn feels! I will absolutely get more the next time I need a cotton dk. I used it to make this sweater, and I'm going to make another one for my spouse.
Return process was smooth. Good speedy customer care!
I have purchased the pure cotton Paintbox to knit new born baby clothes, plus some for myself (not yet knitted mine). Its lovely and soft, perfect for a newborns delicate skin. Nice stich definition, so if you make errors it will show. Its nice and smooth to knit with. A super selection of colours. I am currently knitting a full baby pram set in 'Jewel.' The pattern is 49 years old, I did this set for my first born in pale blue. And my second born son also wore it. A lovely set. Current one is...
Excellent yarn for amigurumi and small pieces - the yarn does not split and is the perfect thickness for detailed projects. Plus it comes in so many different colours.
I've been using various colours of this paintbox DK yarn for a large project recently, they're all fantastic. I always seem to create lots of fluff when working with cotton yarns but its minimal with this one, it knits up really nicely and the colours are true to what you order.
I've been loving using this DK cotton yarn recently - I'm currently working on a big and rather laborious project, so I'm going through a lot of yarn. Painbox yarns are always super sturdy and well spun, and the selection of colours is amazing.
Happy with yarn purchases
Perfect 100% cotton for Berry Baby Hat by Michele Sabatier. I donate about 70 of these hats to our Hospital Summer Market each year. And they sell!!
Delighted and will reorder in future
Same yarn with discount for bulk buy. Delivery safe and sound. What's not to love ! The yarn is soft but strong. It has withstood several crotcheting and undoing and recrocheting as I am learning to follow patterns!
Fantastic selection and good value
Fantastic value, lovely lightweight cotton DK yarn. It's knitting up very nicely and tension is true to the pattern I'm following.
