"The colours are beautiful, nice to knit with, and the price was reasonable. My 92 year old mum is knitting squares to keep her mind and hands busy. She is finding the yarn soft and comfortable to knit with. It is towards a blanket probably, but mainly to just keep her busy. She also has a rust colour I bought her to go with them. She likes Autumn colours."

100% Acrylic, 302yds (276m)/100g (3.53oz), DK | Light Worsted

Product Description

Paintbox Yarns Simply DK is a 100% acrylic DK yarn, 302yds (276m) per ball, knitting to 22 stitches and 30 rows over 10cm on 4.00mm (US 6) needles; recommended crochet hook 4.00mm (F). Paintbox Yarns is our own brand, designed in house.

The palette is what sets it apart: brights, pastels and muted tones developed as one range, so shades chosen from opposite ends of it still sit together in a single project. That makes it a natural fit for striped and colorwork blankets, granny squares, amigurumi and children’s knits.

Acrylic keeps it machine washable and hard-wearing, and it takes a low tumble dry — worth having in anything made for a child.

Care: machine wash at 30°C, low heat tumble dry, cool iron, do not bleach.

Consistently great yarn for cardigans

I’ve used Paintbox for many other projects. The yarn is consistently good, the colours are bright with a huge choice. It washes well and feels nice. I'm using it for a rainbow cardigan for my granddaughter; it's her third, and I just keep making them bigger. They have worn well, and I made them with extra length and turned back cuffs so they would last. Each cardigan has lasted about 18 months, which is good for a growing girl. The cardies have been washed and still look good. The first has...

Perfect yarn for tree skirts

I needed yarn to make a tree skirt for the Christmas tree at our village library. The Paintbox DK was perfect and now looks like drifts of snow for the tree. I used 4 balls of yarn, but will be making at least one more tree skirt for my family. It was lovely to work with, giving even tension and holding the shape well. The tree skirt is currently being stored along with the other hand crafted decorations for the library.

Perfect for multicoloured projects

I already had several balls of different coloured yarns by Paintbox, and I wanted it to combine with those I already had to make my first ladies crocheted multicoloured cardigan. It is very soft and easy to work with, soft enough to use the same left over yarns to make a child's cardigan. I am very pleased. I haven't mastered the art of photos but when my grandson returns from his holiday I will ask him to take one for me and send it on.

Perfect for charity knitting

I love the Paintbox Yarns Simply DK 10 Ball Value Pack because it is perfect for all my charity knitting, including hats for shoebox appeal and baby and children's jumpers for Malawi, and a good price. It knits up nicely.

Beautiful yarn in great colors

I love the beautiful yarn to knit with and the extensive colour range. I'm using it for pale blue to knit an all in one for a newborn baby. I have not started yet, finishing another project first.

Lovely yarn for professional results

I love Paintbox. It's a lovely yarn and lots of colours to choose from. I'm using it for a crochet cardigan, and with leftovers, I crochet blankets for the hospital. It's lovely. It never puckers and it makes the crocheting look professional.

Perfect for a Safari-themed blanket

I'm using it for an alphabet/numbers blanket for my great great nephew due in January - the first boy in 3 generations! The theme for the nursery is Safari, so I'm using greens, neutrals, blues, etc. I am also knitting wild animals. A sloth is completed so far!

Great quality and color variety

A friend recommended Paintbox DK yarn, and I ordered some. I was very happy with both the quality and value for money. It is nice to crochet with as it does not split like other yarns can. I have used 3 out of the 9 balls I plan to use. I love that there are plenty of colours to choose from in the Paintbox range. I chose these because of a similar blanket I saw. The yarn is lovely to work with, feels quite soft and thicker than some DK I have used. You can also see every stitch or shell in this...

Paintbox, great yarn

Love Paintbox yarns, they are my first choice but wish they did a soft multicolour yarn. Never had a bad experience with Lovecrafts, extremely helpful and quick delivery.
