I'm using it for an afghan. It’s nice quality, no splitting as with some yarns, uniform color, and no knots hidden in the middle of a skein. I ordered plenty so I won't run short. You are a consumer friendly company. I know there will be prompt service and satisfactory resolution of any problems I’ve encountered through the years, which are few. I thank you for being reliable, constant, and fair. Maybe 1/10. Just started.
I like the fantastic value. I'm using it for a crochet baby blanket. I'm finding it's not the softest aran yarn but has good stitch definition. It works well for blankets, and it has great colour options.
I like the same good quality yarn that I have grown to expect from Paintbox. I'm using it for a large blanket. I always use Paintbox yarns for this kind of project.
Nice to crochet with, doesn't split. Works up great, great prices with plenty of colours to choose from.
I have an American knitting pattern for Christmas stockings that I was given over 40 years ago. I think I have made hundreds over the years. The colours and weight of Paintbox Aran are just right for the stockings. Many American patterns use worsted weight, and the Aran weight is a very useful substitute. The range of colours means that it’s easy to pick out red, green, and white as traditional colours, then for example browns and beiges for reindeer. I’ve made one already, and it’s still...
I'm following a pattern for a baby blanket, and it's lovely yarn to work with. It feels like quality yarn, not stiff like some acrylics. I have finished it and washed it on a gentle cycle, it came up beautiful.
Overall, I like how the yarn is made.It has a tight wrap that's pleasant to crochet. However , for already come across one section where there's a factory join and it was joined in the wrong direction. This had several yards where it was unwound.On the other side , and I had to cut it rewind , it , which was tiresome and then rejoin. Also a problem, there were sections where the plastic wrap over the skeins was over.The actual yarn and I've had to cut out and rejoin it over that damaged area....
3 packages of 10 used: Out of first ten skeins of under 300yds, at least three had not knots in them and 2 were caught up in plastic wrapper around yarn bundle and had to be spliced. One skein had a knot that was joined on the second half, with the twust going the other way, and I had to cut it and reconnect properly losing another six inches of yarn and a half hour re-twisting. The picture shows where one of skeins was damaged by the plastic covering. Marked it to knot when I got there.
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...
Amazing quality aran yarn. Finished an aran cardigan for a 3 year old and it turned out perfect.
