The wool is great quality and is crocheting up lovely. I'm using it for a Christmas cardigan. At the moment, it is blocking nice and square as the cardigan is done in squares then joined together.

Customer Reviews
Great yarn for knitting
I'm knitting a jumper, and so far it's knitting up nicely. I like the colour range mainly. It's really nice to work with, it's soft and consistent in colour.
Reliable yarn for complex projects
I have used this make of yarn several times, and it always knits up well and is reasonably priced. I have tackled several ladies fashion projects with fairly complex patterns, and they always produce a good completed article with perfect tension. It must boil down to the fiber of the yarn.
Good value and easy to use for a beginner
I've used this several times for my beginner boho crochet projects. I love the bold colours, and the low cost is good for a beginner. The yarn is consistently easy for a beginner and quite forgiving.
Great yarn for fairisle projects
I'm a newbie at fairisle, but I'm very pleased with the results. It's a lovely soft yarn to work with. Having so many colours to carry over was tricky, but the sheep hats were easier. The more I did, the easier it was. I would definitely recommend this yarn.
Perfect yarn for mosaic crochet
It's the best yarn for mosaic crochet. It holds its shape and doesn't pull, making the color changes pop. I sell the blankets in the local market and they seem popular. My usual blankets are double bed sized, and I mix and match the colors as I go along. They are very complimentary, and most people think the work is very complex, but in reality, it's not.
Vibrant colors and great weight
I made a crochet blanket. The Paintbox Simply Aran is a nice weight for a blanket. The Paintbox yarn colors are so vibrant. I just trusted the process and it worked luckily.
Great value and color options
I like the fantastic value. I'm using it for a crochet baby blanket. I'm finding it's not the softest aran yarn but has good stitch definition. It works well for blankets, and it has great colour options.
Fantastic yarn for Halloween projects
I'm using it for a mosaic crochet blanket for Halloween. It's fantastic. It's not done yet.
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...
