Soft yarn for cozy projects

This yarn is very soft, beautiful to work with, and comes in a large range of colours. I've made a cozy lap blanket for winter warmth.

It is not scratchy for children to wear. It washes well and the yardage is good. I use it for hoodies, hats, and pullovers.

As always, the service is great, and I love the Paint Box range of wool. The value pack is great. I am knitting a cardigan. The only thing is the postage was the same price.

Easy to use for beautiful projects

I love the Paintbox range and have quite a few different colors in the Aran. I'm making a waffle lap blanket for my elderly neighbour for Christmas. It's so easy; only 2 rows make the pattern.

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...
