The Most-Reviewed Yarns of August 2026

Paintbox Yarns Simply DK is my favorite "mitten yarn'! I knit lots of mittens! Mittens are always in progress around my other projects. If I have just a few minutes I can pick them up and have a little calm moment. This DK yarn comes in so many "kid friendly" colors! It"s consistent in texture, color, length of skeins, ease of use. The only "problem" I have ever encountered is that sometimes colors are unavailable. Even that doesn't last long! My patterns are decades old, as I am, and still no difficulties!

Love this yarn! I can’t speak highly enough. It’s softer than other cottons I’ve tried.

“Dk cotton yarn”

I purchased the dk cotton yarn and have found it good to work with with no knots or frays as you go down the ball of the yarn. Competitively priced and a choice of colours it's perfect.

I’ve used Paintbox for many years. I lave the skin tone colors for making. Knitted Knockers. The stitch definition is awesome. I’ve tried other yarns but keep returning to PAINTBOX!! Delivery time was exceptional and well packaged.
