Some of the wools have knots where they have been tied together and some places are thin. However they have a choice of colours and the prices are reasonable.

I bought paintbox yarn to do an aran cardigan for my friend and had enough left to knit a cardigan for my granddaughter. It was so beautiful to knit with i bought more wool to knit a jumper. Its so lovely to knit with ive bought more in a different colour to knit another cardigan for my granddaughter . Its the nicest wool I’ve ever knitted with. All the wool was aran in white for the cardigans blue for the adult male jumper, and pink for my granddaughters aran cardigan.

I love this yarn. It has such nice stitch definition and a beautiful drape. It also washes very nicely and it is my go to for a baby blanket. The colours are beautiful and though often out of stock there is an option to be notified when they’re back in stock and it never seems to take long.
I also appreciate the communication regarding my order. It is easy to track and they keep you up-to-date along the way, which is not always the case when ordering online.
Customer –
I love the bright colours that Paintbox produce. This knots up well and is soft and slightly silky to the touch. Washes well on a wool wash with minimal bobbling.

I’m on my 11th ball of 24 I bought on my last order. I have bought many balls of this yarn before and only the odd knot found. The yarn is soft and knits up well. I wash in the washing machine on a woollens wash and it keeps its shape. This is my go to Aran yarn. Lots of colour choice but there is always room for more of course.
Customer –

Using this yarn right now to knit a very intricate design. It is knitting up very well on smaller needles to what the pattern recommends. Slightly thinner than the last Aran I used, but I like it.

My only complaint is the paint box brand is sometimes out of stock.
Paint box is my favorite brand for colors and working in all projects. Sweaters, hats, blankets and throws.
Theresa A Warren –
Even stitches, smooth finish, just not a lot of colors in stock and that is a bit annoying, but must mean crafters like it!
Customer –
knits up beautifully. pattern came with graph and written instructions. i prefer the written instructions. only one problem, the instructions said to do until you have five patterns as shown on the graph, but the picture of the finished article had six. followed the picture.
