I am knitting a child’s Aran cable cardigan to send to Australia, have used this wool often because it knits up good and washes well.

Tell us what you think about it.
Good company for knitting supplies. I have been using Lovecrafts for years.
I used this to make a large, multi-coloured Afghan blanket for my granddaughter, who loves it. The yarn is easy to knit with and I like the practical 50/50 blend of wool and acrylic for an item that will get a lot of wear over the coming years
A delight to knit with!
Wool arrived swiftly and I’m already 1/2 way through a cuddly jumper for my daughter! Is knitting up well so thank you Paintbox.
What a Store!! You won't be Disappointed!
I crochet "A LOT" and I love it. I make sweaters and afghans. And yes, doilies (a long forgotten art). Yarns that I use, "must be".... soft as a baby's skin but yet tough so that it endures my crocheting ( I do make mistakes) and it has to last overtime (I want to see that afghan, I had completed 5 years later in its pristine condition that I had left it in). Plus, there must be give within the yarn. Paintbox yarns crochet up quickly. Colours, there can never be enough.... Paintbox Yarns are...
From a very happy knitter
I bought Paintbox Wool Mix Aran yarn to knit a blanket for my granddaughter (age 11). The selection of colours available is excellent, and 1/3 into knitting this blanket I am delighted with how it is looking. I would recommend this yarn for most knitting jobs requiring Aran-weight yarn. It feels soft and resilient.
Great choice
Lovely yarn that knits up beautifully, in a good range of colours. I have knitted 8 fairisle jumpers for my family from age 2 to 37 and they all love them.
Excellent products
This is a lovely smooth yarn. I like to knit thickish socks on 3.75mm needles. The texture this yarn creates is perfect. It is often very difficult to find an Aran yarn with a wool mix which is preferable for socks. This 50/50 mix of wool and acrylic is a good option.
Always good
I alteady reviewed this yarn and will happily repeat that it is perfect for the Afghan blanket I was knitting for my granddaughter.
Very good shopping experience great yarn and price
Very good yarn, nice colour and texture. Would use again as the price is also very competitive.
From a very happy knitter
I chose this colour as the background and edging for the Afghan blanket I am knitting. The 50/50 wool mix is soft and knits up easily and the colour selection is extensive. I am enjoying working with this yarn.
