    This is a nice yarn to work with and I’m pleased with the result so far. It dropped a star for the knots which were able to be hidden in my work. Great price point. A good economy yarn.

    A great economy yarn. Haven’t tried laundering it yet. Yarn is a good weight but some balls have knots. This has not stopped me ordering more for my next project.

    A chunky yarn that lives up to its name. Weight feels perfect. Looks like a 3 strand yarn and some knots occasionally on single strands. These are small enough to hide.

    95 percent of the many skeins I have purchased were excellent. 5% had issues with imperctions in a few section. Not a lot and cutting out and relying was easy enough. I still love tge yarn and the color choices for my projects.

    I love all paintbox yarns- especially as you can get the same colours in different weights. I made a hat with chunky and some matching mittens in DK.
    Always great value, gick delivery and well packaged.

    This is a really soft chunky wool and has amazing colours. I’ve used it to knit children’s hats for charity and the shops are delighted with them and how soft they are for little ones. I’ll definitely buy more to knit with over the summer.
