It is a lovely yarn to knit with. I’ve used it many times. It also washes very well and looks great on. It has been washed several times now and still looks good. I do have another jacket I knitted in this wool if you’d like another photo.

Customer Reviews
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.
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.
