I like the yarn and pattern. I'm using it for a sweater. It looks like it might pill. The yarn is also rather rough .

Customer Reviews
very good yarn choice
I like the good value and has a nice feel to it. Hopefully will make a cardigan.
My granddaughter loved the color. I picked the color for me to knit a jumper. It is knitting up well.
Easy to knit and neat results
I haven't used your Paintbox yarn before, and I am finding it very easy to knit with. It's forming lovely neat knitting. I am making two initialed free pattern boys' jumpers for Christmas. My only problem has been I don’t have a printer, so I have to keep reading the pattern and writing it down on paper. I am doing intarsia for the initial, which is working out fine. I’m very happy with the quality and price of my wool. Mayo.
Great yarn for knitting
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.
Reliable yarn for complex projects
I have used this make of yarn several times, and it always knits up well and is reasonably priced. I have tackled several ladies fashion projects with fairly complex patterns, and they always produce a good completed article with perfect tension. It must boil down to the fiber of the yarn.
Vibrant colors and great weight
I made a crochet blanket. The Paintbox Simply Aran is a nice weight for a blanket. The Paintbox yarn colors are so vibrant. I just trusted the process and it worked luckily.
Great value and color options
I like the fantastic value. I'm using it for a crochet baby blanket. I'm finding it's not the softest aran yarn but has good stitch definition. It works well for blankets, and it has great colour options.
Fantastic yarn for Halloween projects
I'm using it for a mosaic crochet blanket for Halloween. It's fantastic. It's not done yet.
Lovely to knit with - Paintbox Aran Yarn.
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...
