Paintbox Yarns Ombre Aran Wool Touch

Reviewers describe a beautiful range of ombre shades that blend gradually from one tone to the next. One reviewer's grandson chose a mix of red tones, including red, burgundy and maroon, and that reviewer found the colour gorgeous once knitted up. Several buyers say they bought more than one colour and found the shading far more interesting than a solid.

Customers say it is lovely and soft to work with, with a woolly feel. One crocheter says it passes smoothly through the fingers and doesn't split or tangle. Knitters describe it as light and easy to knit up.

Reviewers report making jumpers, hooded jumpers, hats, hooded scarves, shawls, ear warmers, a baby's hoodie and a dog snood. One reviewer has made several jumpers and hats, and another is knitting a dog jumper in the same ombre shades.

Reviewers say the colour change looks great as you knit or crochet. One describes the flecks aligning well as a shawl grew, and another says the subtle colour changes make a scarf especially appealing. Many buyers say the mixed shades work out really well in finished items.

One reviewer describes an unbelievably soft feel that makes the yarn well suited to items worn next to the skin. That reviewer made a hooded scarf for a daughter, who loved it. Others say it is soft and warm, which makes it a good fit for winter wear.
