Nice wool blend - shame about the knots
This is a extra chunky wool blend. It is knitting up well. My only negative is that of the 7 balls I’ve used so far 5 have had knots in so need to cut and rejoin yarn, therefore more ends to weave in

I needed a substitute yarn for Lion Brand Thick and Quick which was no longer available. The Paintbox yarn was slightly thicker so even quicker to knit! And with a size smaller needle I achieved the required size. I know my granddaughter will be thrilled with her chunky jacket!
l chose the colour and was shocked when it came the colour was nothing like what l saw on the web site, l know the colours are not exact but l would not choose this washed out colour in a million years. l did not send it back as l was ill
Perfect yarn for chunky snowboard hat and scarf; great price too :)
It's my first time knitting with super chunky, I've got small hands so finding the kneedles a bit awkward, but the wool looks and feels gorgeous and I know it's going to make a beautiful jumper for my daughter.
Lovely yarn. Made a lovely scarf. Great quality a great price. Easy to crochet with kept its shape. Delivery was quick packaged securely. Easy to find what you’re looking for on the website easy to order
Great yarn but splits a lot. Crocheting slower helps. Lovely colour. Even crocheting at a slower pace still creates a blanket project quickly.
Have to crochet a little slower as yarn splits a lot. However as it’s chunky yarn it crochets pretty quickly.
I received my order quickly, but I had ordered the wrong wool, and had to return this for Aran weight wool of the same brand and colour. The returns process was quick and simple and my new wool arrived in 2 days. This has knitted up perfectly.
