Paintbox Yarns Socks is a cheerful, self-patterning sock yarn that customers say is a joy to knit. Reviewers describe the colour range as a real highlight, with each ball offering shades that keep a project lively from the first round.
Many buyers report that the pretty patterns appear as you knit, with no extra effort on your part. One reviewer put it simply: "I love the pretty patterns that appear as you knit."
Reviewers often describe it as lovely to knit with. One found it "knits up like a dream", and another enjoyed how it is "fun to watch the patterns take shape" as the socks grow.
Customers say the finished socks feel soft and cosy, and one described the wool as giving a fluffiness that feels warm. Many also report that it doesn't pill, so the socks keep looking tidy after wear.
Handmade socks are a favourite gift, and reviewers say recipients appreciate a pair knitted by hand, especially for winter. Some knitters have also made fingerless gloves or a crocheted scarf alongside their socks, using the colourful balls to complement each other.
It feels nice to knit with, and the colours are great. I use it for socks for Christmas.
I love the colours and wool quality. It is mostly brilliant. There is a very occasional knot, but otherwise it is lovely. I would like a Paintbox plain sock yarn to mop up the leftover patterned yarn, but you don't sell the plain Paintbox sock yarn.
I love the lovely colour range within each ball of yarn. I'm using these to crochet a winter scarf, which uses up to 20x50 g scrap yarn between the socks yarns. I'll probably complete the set with mittens/gloves. I will buy again.
Great value for money. Delivery was good. I liked the effect made by the yarn- the fair isle design was amazing
Excellent quality and lovely pattern when knitted. I knit socks and fingerless mitts
I have tried other sock yarns but find this product the best! I always use the patterns provided by Paintbox free on the site. It washes well and the socks are comfortable to wear.
Have used this yarn for years and to buy it at a bargain price is very satisfying
