Great yarn for my sister's cardigan
I'm using it for a cardigan. I have done 2 previously, and they washed and bounced back into shape no problem. They are for my sister and she loves them. I have a few other projects to finish first.

I've always been happy with Paintbox Cotton DK. I use it for kitchen cloths, to use myself and to give as gifts. It's absorbent and pretty. I haven't finished one yet in Paintbox yarn. I've only just begun to use Paintbox Cotton DK for this, so I don't know fully how it fares with repeated washing. I have made many kitchen cloths with Scheepjes Catona and Yarn Colors Must-Have, and I've been happy with its longevity, although the sheen it comes with wears off with repeated washings. I didn't...
I love the colours. It's good to work with. I am making scrubbies and dishcloths at the moment with this yarn, and I am using the suzette stitch. The texture of the stitch.
I’ve used this yarn before and loved the stitch definition it provides. I ran out of a couple of colors while making amigurumi, so I wanted to restock. It’s working just as well as I hoped!
I'm using it for a cardigan for myself. I wanted something in pink, and I've used Paintbox cotton before, so I know it's a good yarn - and not just for summer! If a knitted cotton garment is looked after properly - washed as on the ball band - and it’s stored properly, then it keeps its shape. It’s on hold atm as I’m doing some test knitting.
I like the fact it was cotton and not acrylic. I'm using it for a hat. Sadly not started yet.
LoveCrafts never disappoints! The shipping is quick, and my favorite amigurumi yarn, Paintbox Cotton DK, is a quality yarn with predictable colors skein to skein. I love to make doll amigurumi. Paintbox has a couple of colors that help make both Caucasian and darker hued skin. Also, banana cream makes a perfect blonde hair. There are so many colors to choose from for making clothes for the dolls.
This is a great cotton yarn it is very smooth and is easy to work with. Perfect for summer garments
