I ordered the sandy beige yarn. It’s beautiful yarn and so soft and perfect for the blanket I’m making. However, based of the name and the picture I was expecting beige yarn, but it is grey as you can see in the picture. Luckily I like it anyway!
The order arrived very quickly. The colour was just what I wanted and the yarn was soft. Obviously, I haven't washed it yet, but I hope that it will be good. I have already finished knitting the sweater, worn it, and received many compliments!
The yarn seems to be perfect for the afghan I am planning. The color is great. I was looking for something that would complement the light shade of grey in my house. The pattern I chose is designed for a color changing yarn, so no problems so far.
Bought wool online whilst away on holiday expecting it to come the day after I returned. I was so surprised that it arrived before I got home. Service etc is excellent Easy to knit with and such a lovely colour. Would recommend this company.
Paintbox Yarn Ombré is a nice surprise ! Much softer than expected The size of the yarn is constant. No thick and thin. No knots. The change of color is fun to work with. The final pattern of the colors is a total surprise. I follow a pattern given by Paintbox (Against the Gradient Cardigan) that I modified somewhat (V neck and a few cables). The final feel of the work is more wooly than synthetic. Very happy with this purchase. JLC
Learning to knit using a knitting loom, and this yarn is wonderful to work with ~ very soft and has a nice feel to it ~
