Lovely cotton and great service
I'm using it for blankets. The cotton is lovely to knit with. Unlike other cotton, it has few knots. I really appreciate how quickly you respond to orders and the tracking of the package. Thank you.

I am very pleased with the yarn. The delivery was speedy. It is very good value for money and knits up very well. I am using it for a ladies jumper to be ready for a Christmas gift.
It wasn't the same colour as it said on the screen. It isn't the best but it'll be fine because I saw good reviews on it.
Just easy to knit with, reasonably priced, and fantastic colour choices in all yarns. I like to have some in my knitting box for a rainy day. I'm using it for mostly knits for grandchildren.
I'm using it for a cardigan. I have done 2 previously, and they washed and bounced back into shape no problem. They are for my sister and she loves them. I have a few other projects to finish first.
I'm using it for a cardigan for myself. I wanted something in pink, and I've used Paintbox cotton before, so I know it's a good yarn - and not just for summer! If a knitted cotton garment is looked after properly - washed as on the ball band - and it’s stored properly, then it keeps its shape. It’s on hold atm as I’m doing some test knitting.
I like the fact it was cotton and not acrylic. I'm using it for a hat. Sadly not started yet.
LoveCrafts never disappoints! The shipping is quick, and my favorite amigurumi yarn, Paintbox Cotton DK, is a quality yarn with predictable colors skein to skein. I love to make doll amigurumi. Paintbox has a couple of colors that help make both Caucasian and darker hued skin. Also, banana cream makes a perfect blonde hair. There are so many colors to choose from for making clothes for the dolls.
This is a great cotton yarn it is very smooth and is easy to work with. Perfect for summer garments
