Great value and quality yarn
I like the good value for money. The yarn is lovely to knit with, knits up beautifully, and the garments hold their shape. Yes it has.

Great to knit with. The quality and softness make it ideal for all aran knits. A very affordable quality yarn. At the moment, I am making a wardrobe of clothes for a large soft toy. I've already made a cardigan in 3 colours, a cabled hoodie, a hat, scarf, and gloves. I've just started a jumper. Great to work with and doesn't split. The softness makes it ideal for larger toy clothes.
It is beautiful to knit with, it is lovely and soft, and it is a very good price. I am making an aran jumper for my 2 gt grandsons, and I have already purchased another lot to make 2 more. I don't knit as fast as I used to, so it maybe a little while until they are finished.
As always, the service is great, and I love the Paint Box range of wool. The value pack is great. I am knitting a cardigan. The only thing is the postage was the same price.
I like the large range of colours available and the consistency throughout each ball and across the colours. It's vital that there is consistency in weight/thickness across the different balls, and it has that. I'm making a rainforest theme blanket, so there are areas with subtle shades of green with bright parts in between. The weight of the wool means the blanket builds quickly.
I love Paintbox yarn. It offers great value for the price. I am making a blanket and also use it for amigurumi toys. It holds up well.
I love the Paintbox range and have quite a few different colors in the Aran. I'm making a waffle lap blanket for my elderly neighbour for Christmas. It's so easy; only 2 rows make the pattern.
I like the good value and has a nice feel to it. Hopefully will make a cardigan.
I'm knitting a jumper, and so far it's knitting up nicely. I like the colour range mainly. It's really nice to work with, it's soft and consistent in colour.
This is my first time knitting with paintbox (Aran) yarn. It is lovely to work with and the Aran pattern stands out well. There have been no knots in the yarn either. I found the 20 ball pack to be excellent value and would certainly purchase in the future. I haven’t had the opportunity to wash yet but 🤞 when I do hopefully it will wash well. The only issue I had was with delivery. Having been notified the package would be delivered between specific hours on specific days I made myself...
