Nice colors, but scratchy yarn

The colours were nice, but the yarn was a bit scratchy for a baby blanket. The overall look was great, but I wouldn't use this yarn again. Not yet, I need to finish the border because it's a gift.

Hi Lydia! Thank you for sharing your feedback. We're glad you liked the colours, although we're sorry to hear the yarn wasn't quite as soft as you had hoped. We understand that yarn preferences can vary when it comes to feel and texture, and we appreciate you giving it a try. If you need any help, please don't hesitate to let us know.

Charming and durable yarn

This yarn is cute, soft, easy to knit with, and durable through years of wearing and washing. I return to Paintbox yarns frequently because they are an incredible value. I made a ribbed sweater out of the confetti colorway and a short and tank combo from the Harbour colorway. Both have resisted pilling and retained their color and shape beautifully.

Beautiful yarn for a special gift

The yarn knits up beautifully. It is very nice to handle and has great stitch definition, with attractive colour changes. I use it for a chunky cowl. It is intended for a present, so it has not been worn yet.

Love crafts is my go to for knitting and crocheting supplies

Easy to knit with. Just hoping it won’t stretch out over time as making a hoodie for my granddaughter. I chose this as it it is 100% acrylic yarn so no worries if washed with other clothes.
