Great value for throws

I'm using it for throws. I like the value for money and have used other Paintbox yarns. It's perfect for this project. I will use it again.

I like the brilliant choice of colours. It is pleasant to handle, has no knots, and is very reasonably priced. I'm using it for a baby blanket. This yarn washes well and holds its shape. I think it's quite important for people to know that this yarn can feel quite stiff but will soften and drape well once blocked.

I appreciate the very prompt service and delivery. The wool is lovely to knit with, and it has great colours. I'm using it for the Hanna Cardigan pattern from Debbie Bliss, and it is knitting up very well.
