Which Paintbox yarn should you choose?
- Simply DK and Simply Aran (acrylic): hard-wearing and easy-care, ideal for blankets, toys and gifts.
- Cotton DK and Cotton Aran: crisp stitch definition for summer tops, bags and homeware.
- Wool blends: warmth and bounce for jumpers, hats and mittens.
Buying and matching colours
Order all the yarn for one project at the same time and check the dye lot where relevant, especially on large colour blocks. If you're planning a granny square blanket or stripes, it helps to lay shades out in order before you start.
Is Paintbox yarn machine washable?
The acrylic and cotton ranges are easy-care; always follow the ball band for temperature and drying.
What can I make with it?
Anything from amigurumi to a full-size throw, thanks to the weight range.
Buy a little more than the pattern states if you're substituting, as tension varies between makers.
