Paintbox yarn is one of my favourite yarns to use. The range of colours is excellent and the yarn is always good quality 🙂

Great yarn to work with. Great choice of colours and an affordable price.

I ordered 30 skeins, 2 each of 15 different colors to make a crochet temperature blanket. I loved the sheer variety of colors, which made picking the yarn for the project both simple and fun. The colors are very vivid, and I am extremely happy with the yarn. For a 100% acrylic yarn, it is very soft and easy to work with. I haven't had issues with knots in the skein, and it hasn't split once. It's very kind on my hands. The price was also incredibly reasonable for the large amount purchased. I am only halfway done with my blanket, but I will definitely be looking at Paintbox yarns for large projects in the future. I make 6 to 12 blankets a year as well as dozens of other crochet items, so it is awesome to find an affordable yarn that has variety and quality.
