Paintbox Yarns 100% Wool Worsted Superwash

Pros: This is a great basic wool. Lots of good colours, machine washable and a reasonable price. Cons: its a Lovecrafts brand which means you can only buy it from their website, the colours on the screen are really not a good representation of the true colour so a colour sample card is a must as far as I'm concerned.. but apparently 'its too costly as most people wouldn't be happy to pay a nominal charge for one'... I would pay a small charge happily.. or get a free one with an order over a certain amount of the yarn? surely you could work something out - couldn't you Lovecrafts??!

I purchased black and buttercup yellow Paint Box 100% worsted wool to knit gloves. The wool definitely produces a warm product. Black is difficult to see the pattern especially when you are moving stiches across each other and using a number of double pointed needles. I felt that the black wool split too easily which caused me further difficulty when knitting but the yellow didn't split. (strange but true!)
