Love this yarn for my shawl
I made a shawl. I’ve used this yarn before and just love it. It is soft, holds its shape well, and is easy to work with. It has a great range of colors, too. I like the great quality, wonderful sales, and fast delivery.

Product Description
Paintbox Yarns Simply Chunky is a 100% acrylic chunky, made for the projects you want finished this week: blankets, scarves, hats and easy jumpers. Paintbox Yarns is our own brand, designed in house.
On 6.00mm needles the fabric builds up quickly without going stiff, so larger projects like blankets and jumpers work up in a fraction of the time a DK would take. It crochets up well, with good stitch definition, and does not split in use. It stays soft after washing, and being acrylic it takes a machine wash and a low tumble dry, which matters for the blankets and kids' knits that actually get used.
Ideal for colourful stripes, granny squares, chunky colourwork and quick gifts. The shades are developed as a coordinated palette rather than one-offs, so colours can be planned across a project and matched with confidence. The yarn is OEKO-TEX certified.
Specifications: 100g balls, 136m (149yds). Tension 14 stitches and 20 rows to 10cm on 6.00mm (US 10) needles; 6.00mm (J) crochet hook. Machine wash at 30°C, tumble dry on low, cool iron, do not bleach. Made in Turkey.
What makers tell us: Across 4,900+ reviews averaging 4.8 stars, it is one of the most reviewed yarns in the Paintbox range.

Great shopping experience.
Lovely and soft and it knits up well. The colour is gorgeous and I would definitely buy again.
Value for your money.
Love this wool, easy to work with and makes beautiful baby blankets / clothes.
I knit blankets for world orphans and I have used this product for 4 years and I have never been tempted to buy cheaper brands. Last year I sent 50 blankets to underpriveledged children and this year so far I have knitted 30. This is a fantastic product reasonable priced. When there is aa sale I stock up.
Used for crochet. Several colours purchased and all came very quickly. Really snuggly and soft. Niece loves the blanket and hats for her baby. Will definitely be buying more. I've had Double knitting, aran and chunky. Thank you
Excellent yarn 🧶 lovely to work with. Washes well. Great choice of colours. Very affordable without being cheap quality. Always a speedy delivery I wouldn’t buy yarn from anywhere else.
