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.
I loved the colour and the feel of it. There’s something about crocheting with cotton. I made myself a patterned top. It looks good, I just need to block it to improve it even more.
It was my first time using this yarn and I was not impressed. It is very thin, too stretchy, and knits up inconsistently. The increases on the ends of the rows caused holes even though I tried two different increasing methods, undoing my work both times to try to see if I could solve the issue. I would not buy this yarn again and I do not recommend it for sweaters. I am using it for a child’s sweater and the pattern was made with a cotton DK.
Extremely soft and easy to use for my crochet project, I'm so happy. I just kept squishing my project as I was working on it because I love how this yarn feels! I will absolutely get more the next time I need a cotton dk. I used it to make this sweater, and I'm going to make another one for my spouse.
I have purchased the pure cotton Paintbox to knit new born baby clothes, plus some for myself (not yet knitted mine). Its lovely and soft, perfect for a newborns delicate skin. Nice stich definition, so if you make errors it will show. Its nice and smooth to knit with. A super selection of colours. I am currently knitting a full baby pram set in 'Jewel.' The pattern is 49 years old, I did this set for my first born in pale blue. And my second born son also wore it. A lovely set. Current one is...
Excellent yarn for amigurumi and small pieces - the yarn does not split and is the perfect thickness for detailed projects. Plus it comes in so many different colours.
I've been using various colours of this paintbox DK yarn for a large project recently, they're all fantastic. I always seem to create lots of fluff when working with cotton yarns but its minimal with this one, it knits up really nicely and the colours are true to what you order.
I've been loving using this DK cotton yarn recently - I'm currently working on a big and rather laborious project, so I'm going through a lot of yarn. Painbox yarns are always super sturdy and well spun, and the selection of colours is amazing.
Perfect 100% cotton for Berry Baby Hat by Michele Sabatier. I donate about 70 of these hats to our Hospital Summer Market each year. And they sell!!
Fantastic value, lovely lightweight cotton DK yarn. It's knitting up very nicely and tension is true to the pattern I'm following.
