By Paintbox Yarns
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.

The Paintbox Yarns Simply Chunky is very nice and soft. It has thick yarns, and I am very happy with it. I am using it for a sunflower granny square blanket, and it turned out beautifully. I have to put it all together, then it’ll be done. I will definitely buy more colors.
This is exactly what I wanted. I'm using it for Christmas hats. It works really well. They are sold on a heritage railway, during Santa trains.
My go to yarn! It is great quality and lovely to crochet or knit with. Thanks Lovecrafts!
I have used it before in quite a few projects, including a cardigan and many blankets, so I know exactly what I wanted and what I was getting. It is super quick to work up and perfect for winter projects.
Lovely and soft and it knits up well. The colour is gorgeous and I would definitely buy again.
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.
