Great for crochet projects
It is good to handle. It doesn't split when working. I use it for a granny square crochet blanket.

Product Description
Paintbox Yarns Simply DK is a 100% acrylic DK yarn, 276m (302yds) per ball, knitting to 22 stitches and 30 rows over 10cm on 4.00mm (US 6) needles; recommended crochet hook 4.00mm (F). Paintbox Yarns is our own brand, designed in house.
The palette is what sets it apart: brights, pastels and muted tones developed as one range, so shades chosen from opposite ends of it still sit together in a single project. That makes it a natural fit for striped and colourwork blankets, granny squares, amigurumi and children’s knits.
Acrylic keeps it machine washable and hard-wearing, and it takes a low tumble dry — worth having in anything made for a child.
Care: machine wash at 30°C, low heat tumble dry, cool iron, do not bleach.

Summarized by AI
Excellent quality with good twist
The quality of the yarn is excellent. Good twist is good and no knots.
Beautiful stitches and great color range
It is easy to use and crochets beautifully. I use it for making a blanket. About one third made. I love the way the stitches are defined and the huge range of colors meant I could choose those that matched decor.
Perfect color for monk clothing
I like the good price and good quality acrylic yarn. I like the colour and value. I will use it for hats and vests for monks. It's a perfect color for their clothing and matches their robes.
The Paintbox Yarns Simply DK 10 Ball Value Pack is not expensive, and it comes with 10 balls all at once. This is useful when you're making blankets. It is good for crochet squares and doesn't split too much.
Great yarn for my cardigan project
It was easy to order, it arrived quickly, and it was a good price. The yarn feels good and nice to use. I bought 10 of the same colour to make a longline arran style cardigan.
Great quality yarn for knitting
I like the consistent quality yarn with rich color. I'm using it for a cardigan. It is easy to knit. I'm not finished yet.
Great yarn for jumpers
I like the great colours, good quality, and excellent value for money. I use it for jumpers for my grandchildren and when I have time for myself. I like the lovely yarn to work with, and the jumpers are a work in progress.
Great yarn for cardigans
I'm using it for making cardigans for my greatgranddaughters. It knits up very well and is very economical. Sorry, given to recipients. They seem to be very happy.
Great value, and quality
It is easy to order, and it offers great value.
