"Paintbox is a brand I've had before and always soft and great to work with. I like the lovely colour selection too. I'm using it for a jumper, so I wanted something that would wash well. It's working well and I'm happy with it. There has been a join in each ball I've used so far, which is unusual but they are easy enough to manage."

Impressive yarn for active use

It’s the first time I’ve knitted with this yarn, and so far I’m very impressed. The yarn doesn’t split and is easy to knit even when using small needles. So far so good, but it will be interesting to see how it survives being worn by an active three-year-old.

Soft yarn with great colours and value for money

Paintbox is a brand I've had before and always soft and great to work with. I like the lovely colour selection too. I'm using it for a jumper, so I wanted something that would wash well. It's working well and I'm happy with it. There has been a join in each ball I've used so far, which is unusual but they are easy enough to manage.

I’ve used this yarn on several previous occasions. Annoyingly one of problems with being keen nitter is that my sleeves and sides of my jumpers and cardigans get pulled! The anti pilling yarn is perfect for me .
