Summarized by AI
First class yarn for great projects
I've used this yarn many many times and have always found it to be first class yarn. I've never encountered any joins in the yarn and it crochets up lovely. I've crocheted several cardigans, hooded scarves, fingerless mitts and other bits for my teenage granddaughter. She can be really critical but never any criticism about the items she gets from me.
Great colors and price for fundraising
I like the range of colours available. I like the quick delivery. I like the excellent price. I'm using it for aran cardigans and jumpers to sell to raise funds for our local baby unit. Not yet - it was only given to some of them 2 days ago - we only meet every 2 weeks.
Great value and quality yarn
I like the good value for money. The yarn is lovely to knit with, knits up beautifully, and the garments hold their shape. Yes it has.
Perfect yarn for larger toy clothes
Great to knit with. The quality and softness make it ideal for all aran knits. A very affordable quality yarn. At the moment, I am making a wardrobe of clothes for a large soft toy. I've already made a cardigan in 3 colours, a cabled hoodie, a hat, scarf, and gloves. I've just started a jumper. Great to work with and doesn't split. The softness makes it ideal for larger toy clothes.
As always, the service is great, and I love the Paint Box range of wool. The value pack is great. I am knitting a cardigan. The only thing is the postage was the same price.
Great value and durability
I love Paintbox yarn. It offers great value for the price. I am making a blanket and also use it for amigurumi toys. It holds up well.
Easy to use for beautiful projects
I love the Paintbox range and have quite a few different colors in the Aran. I'm making a waffle lap blanket for my elderly neighbour for Christmas. It's so easy; only 2 rows make the pattern.
very good yarn choice
I like the good value and has a nice feel to it. Hopefully will make a cardigan.
Lovely to knit with - Paintbox Aran Yarn.
This is my first time knitting with paintbox (Aran) yarn. It is lovely to work with and the Aran pattern stands out well. There have been no knots in the yarn either. I found the 20 ball pack to be excellent value and would certainly purchase in the future. I haven’t had the opportunity to wash yet but 🤞 when I do hopefully it will wash well. The only issue I had was with delivery. Having been notified the package would be delivered between specific hours on specific days I made myself...
