Great yarn for Christmas socks

I love the colours and wool quality. It is mostly brilliant. There is a very occasional knot, but otherwise it is lovely. I would like a Paintbox plain sock yarn to mop up the leftover patterned yarn, but you don't sell the plain Paintbox sock yarn.
I love the lovely colour range within each ball of yarn. I'm using these to crochet a winter scarf, which uses up to 20x50 g scrap yarn between the socks yarns. I'll probably complete the set with mittens/gloves. I will buy again.
Great value for money. Delivery was good. I liked the effect made by the yarn- the fair isle design was amazing
Excellent quality and lovely pattern when knitted. I knit socks and fingerless mitts
I have tried other sock yarns but find this product the best! I always use the patterns provided by Paintbox free on the site. It washes well and the socks are comfortable to wear.
Have used this yarn for years and to buy it at a bargain price is very satisfying
