I absolutely love this yarn. I've rarely worked with cotton but I wanted to make a lacy top and found this. It turned out beautifully.
I use it for inkle weaving and love the colors and how it weaves in the inkle.
I have purchased a large number of skeins of this paint box cotton yarn. It comes in a large variety of colors and is excellent for the work I do making washcloths and baby hats
This cotton is not very soft. It is rather stiff and coarse. It may be better after washing.
This makes beautiful clothing. I've made dresses for my granddaughters and it's a very nice weight. Softens with washing and I love the colors. I'll continue purchasing this.
I just started a pretty ambitious project and I think this yarn is working well for me. I had to rip out a few rows and it’s sturdy enough that I really had no problem picking up stitches.
Paintbox Cotton DK is a really versatile, easy to work with yarn. I'd go so far as to call it beginner friendly when it comes to cotton, as it's not too stiff, not too slippery, and works up very evenly. The colorways are gorgeous, and though there is not a lot of stretch or flex to this yarn, given it's cotton, it creates beautiful garments that feel nice and wear beautifully.
One of the best yarns I've worked with to date. The yarn has substance to it, but isn't slippery on my hook or too stiff, which makes it come together beautifully when doing Tunisian crochet. The colorways are gorgeous and consistently dyed, all in all, my favorite cotton yarn, especially for the price point.
I'm crocheting a temperature throw blanket and I am absolutely in love with this yarn. The colors are ***exquisite*** and the yarn is an absolute joy to work with...it just feels so good in my hands. The DK weight is just perfect for a summer throw. I plan to do a lot with this yarn....it's just so versatile....and I will have leftovers from my temperature blanket, so I may look at placemats, or a little girl's sundress....or just buy more to make a bigger blanket! I've been knitting and...
This is a really nice cotton yarn. I'm crocheting a temperature blanket with it... The choice of colors for this yarn is just fabulous and the DK weight will make a pleasant summer blanket. I didn't like knitting with it, but that's true for almost every cotton yarn I've ever tried.... But it crochets sooooo beautifully!!!
