Perfect yarn for handbags
I am crocheting handbags for my granddaughters, and the yarn is perfect for these gifts. It has just the right firmness to the bag. I think it's that it's cotton that has given the firmness. I am still busy crocheting them.

Summarized by AI
Apart from my own mistakes & having to unpick a bit, very good
I love the lovely and easy to handle yarn for crocheting. It is soft and doesn't tangle easily.
Effortless to work with
It is nice to work with, has great colors, and arrived quickly. I like the butterfly spinner. It works up effortlessly with good definition.
I love the Paintbox Yarns Cotton DK because it is lovely to knit with, soft, and good value. I never find any knots halfway through the ball. I'm using it for a school jumper for my granddaughter. I have made several tops for my daughter too.
Lovely yarn, but watch for knots
It knits up lovely, and the colour choice is amazing. I use it for a baby cardigan and blanket. It’s soft and makes the knitting very even. The only downside is that over my time of buying it, I’ve often come across knots like the wool has been joined together to make a full ball. This has happened multiple times and in different colours, which can be a pain.
Hi Natalie! Thank you for your lovely feedback! We're delighted to hear you enjoy working with the yarn and love the colour selection. Regarding the knots, manufacturers generally consider up to three knots per ball normal, although they are continually working to reduce these. However, if you find more than three knots in a ball or feel the number is excessive, please don't hesitate to contact us so we can look into it for you.
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.
Great yarn for my sister's cardigan
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.
Great yarn for summer and beyond
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.
Great cotton yarn for hats
I like the fact it was cotton and not acrylic. I'm using it for a hat. Sadly not started yet.
Lovecraft doesn't disappoint.
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.
