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
Lovely Cotton Yarn in Great Colour Options
I'm using it for making romper suits for my daughter’s twin girls. I was looking for a particular color in a cotton DK yarn. I was very happy with the yarn.
Great yarn for summer and beyond
I'm using it for a cardigan for myself. I wanted something in pink, and I've used Paintbox cotton before, so I know it's a good yarn - and not just for summer! If a knitted cotton garment is looked after properly - washed as on the ball band - and it’s stored properly, then it keeps its shape. It’s on hold atm as I’m doing some test knitting.
Great feel and durability
I love this yarn for the feel and drape after it’s worked up. I use it often for baby blankets. It holds up well with repeated washing.
Great cotton yarn for hats
I like the fact it was cotton and not acrylic. I'm using it for a hat. Sadly not started yet.
Lovecraft doesn't disappoint.
LoveCrafts never disappoints! The shipping is quick, and my favorite amigurumi yarn, Paintbox Cotton DK, is a quality yarn with predictable colors skein to skein. I love to make doll amigurumi. Paintbox has a couple of colors that help make both Caucasian and darker hued skin. Also, banana cream makes a perfect blonde hair. There are so many colors to choose from for making clothes for the dolls.
