Thick and soft for a cozy blanket
It’s very thick and soft. I use it for a blanket for my granddaughter. It’s very good.

Product Description
Paintbox Yarns Simply Chunky is a 100% acrylic chunky, made for the projects you want finished this week: blankets, scarves, hats and easy jumpers. Paintbox Yarns is our own brand, designed in house.
On 6.00mm needles the fabric builds up quickly without going stiff, so larger projects like blankets and jumpers work up in a fraction of the time a DK would take. It crochets up well, with good stitch definition, and does not split in use. It stays soft after washing, and being acrylic it takes a machine wash and a low tumble dry, which matters for the blankets and kids' knits that actually get used.
Ideal for colourful stripes, granny squares, chunky colourwork and quick gifts. The shades are developed as a coordinated palette rather than one-offs, so colours can be planned across a project and matched with confidence. The yarn is OEKO-TEX certified.
Specifications: 100g balls, 136m (149yds). Tension 14 stitches and 20 rows to 10cm on 6.00mm (US 10) needles; 6.00mm (J) crochet hook. Machine wash at 30°C, tumble dry on low, cool iron, do not bleach. Made in Turkey.
What makers tell us: Across 4,900+ reviews averaging 4.8 stars, it is one of the most reviewed yarns in the Paintbox range.

Customer Reviews
I like the colour, quality, and value for money. I'm ready for my winter knitting and crocheting.
I like the quality and customer service. I'm using it for making 3 hats with sheep on.
Great value for throws
I'm using it for throws. I like the value for money and have used other Paintbox yarns. It's perfect for this project. I will use it again.
I like the brilliant choice of colours. It is pleasant to handle, has no knots, and is very reasonably priced. I'm using it for a baby blanket. This yarn washes well and holds its shape. I think it's quite important for people to know that this yarn can feel quite stiff but will soften and drape well once blocked.
I appreciate the very prompt service and delivery. The wool is lovely to knit with, and it has great colours. I'm using it for the Hanna Cardigan pattern from Debbie Bliss, and it is knitting up very well.
Perfect for Christmas hats
This is exactly what I wanted. I'm using it for Christmas hats. It works really well. They are sold on a heritage railway, during Santa trains.
My go to yarn! It is great quality and lovely to crochet or knit with. Thanks Lovecrafts!
Winter blanket
I have used it before in quite a few projects, including a cardigan and many blankets, so I know exactly what I wanted and what I was getting. It is super quick to work up and perfect for winter projects.
Value for your money.
Love this wool, easy to work with and makes beautiful baby blankets / clothes.
