Perfectly soft yarn for knitting
I always buy from Lovecrafts and use Paintbox yarn if possible. It’s soft, doesn’t split when knitting, and I always get good results. I'm using it for knitting a shawl which isn’t finished yet. Perfectly.

Product Description
Paintbox Yarns Simply DK is a 100% acrylic DK yarn, 276m (302yds) per ball, knitting to 22 stitches and 30 rows over 10cm on 4.00mm (US 6) needles; recommended crochet hook 4.00mm (F). Paintbox Yarns is our own brand, designed in house.
The palette is what sets it apart: brights, pastels and muted tones developed as one range, so shades chosen from opposite ends of it still sit together in a single project. That makes it a natural fit for striped and colourwork blankets, granny squares, amigurumi and children’s knits.
Acrylic keeps it machine washable and hard-wearing, and it takes a low tumble dry — worth having in anything made for a child.
Care: machine wash at 30°C, low heat tumble dry, cool iron, do not bleach.

perfect buying experience
The yarn was nice to knit with however I came across a knot join half way through the ball. Apart from that i was pleased with the product.
Paintbox, great yarn
Love Paintbox yarns, they are my first choice but wish they did a soft multicolour yarn. Never had a bad experience with Lovecrafts, extremely helpful and quick delivery.
Effecient fast product delivery. Excellent quality wool. Reasonably priced. Recommend highly!
Satisfaction guaranteed.
Yarn very easy to work with. Free flowing...no knots. Good stitch definition, therefore very effective pattern. Excellent quality. Would definitely recommend.
Love this wool, I’ve done 7 king size throws so far with it and it washes lovely too. Excellent value for money and such a choice of colours. Delivery is so fast too
Value for money and a quality product
Price is super competitive, colours are true to their pictures and the yarn works up nicely
Value for money and a quality product
Excellent value for money 👍🏻 colours are fabulous and the yarn works up beautifully
Grest yarn, fast delivery!
I had previously ordered a value pack in the same colour and needed an extra pack to finish the blanket I was making. The wool does not split when crocheting and had a very slight sheen to it which is nice. It is really good value for money and I have ordered 3 addition value packs in different colours.
I have not started the project for which this yarn was purchased, however, I have used it to crochet previous projects and find it an excellent yarn. A generous selection of beautiful colours which are not washed out and the yarn does not pill or fray and works very smoothly.
