If you have ever wanted the cool, breathable feel of cotton without the stiffness, Paintbox Yarns Cotton Mix DK is well worth a look. Reviewers describe it as a lovely yarn to knit and crochet with, and many say it feels soft and smooth in the hand from the first stitch.
Customers say it is easy to work with and crochets with ease, which makes it a pleasant choice for longer projects. One reviewer found it light like a cotton but comfortable to knit with like an acrylic, which is exactly the balance many cotton lovers are looking for.
Buyers consistently praise the brilliant colours, and several describe the shades as bright and lovely in person. One reviewer said the colours matched their swatch closely, which is reassuring when you are choosing a palette for a bold project.
Reviewers note that the stitches show up clearly, with one knitter who works mainly in cables saying the stitch definition is great. Customers also say it knits up nicely and holds a good drape, which makes it a dependable choice for summer tops, cardigans and hats.
One reviewer knitted a summer jumper and was pleased with the result, while another said a crocheted summer hat worked out perfectly.
This yarn is a favourite for amigurumi, with reviewers saying it shows nice detail and is easier to pull through than pure cotton. It also suits baby blankets, charity knits and teddy bears, and one knitter planned to use leftover yarn to make a matching bear.
It is very easy to work with, very soft, and the drape is working out the way I had hoped. I am crocheting a sweater. I am still in the early stages of the project.
This is one of the best yarns I’ve ever used. It’s exactly as advertised and looks and feels even better! I had been told by so many to try it. I especially like that it seems to contain more yarn than most companies do on a skein. I will for sure be ordering again.
The committee is beautiful, the yarn is soft. The only small thing is that when you knit the yarn tends to split and it's easy to catch threads off not careful.
The package came quickly and was well wrapped, the yarn is lovely to swirl to with, I like the colour I chose and the crocheted jumper had rurned out nice 🙂
Good to knit with. Snuggly.
Beautiful yarn, lovely to crochet with and gives very good stitch definition.
Lovely yarn but unfortunately quite a few obvious knots where yarn has been added
