Shopping for yarns in the comfort of my home is easy. I'm using it for making an afghan for a friend. She really liked the shade for the color. I have not started yet to create my project. Once the weather cools down more, I plan on getting started.

Customer Reviews
Surprisingly great acrylic yarn
Generally, I hate acrylic yarn. It feels sticky and isn’t nice to knit with. But my sister, for whom I’m making a sweater, needs something she can launder easily, so acrylic seemed best. I tried this yarn and was so surprised. It knits like a dream, so smooth. The fabric texture is very nice. I was expecting craft store yarn from anything acrylic, but this Paintbox yarn is anything but. It was on sale at Webs, so I even got more in another color to make a sweater for myself. As for drape, it's...
I was looking for a lightweight DK yarn, and Paintbox is perfect. It is easy to work with, and the color variety is lovely. I'm using it for Yarn It Up, Sweater Rose bud-adult.
Soft and easy to work with
The color is what I expected, the yarn is soft and easy to work. It is soft and pleasant to hold. I use it for a baby blanket.
I'm using it for crocheted and knit animals and crocheted lace. It works very well.
5 Stars
The yarn is very nice - perfect for my project. The supplier provided fast delivery and the package came in perfect condition.
5 Stars
The yarn is a beautiful color. It is soft and works beautifully with no pilling on the finished work.
3 Stars
If the yarn were better wound in the skein, I'd give it a 5. As I was working within one skein it was in several separate sections, it was frustrating to keep piecing it together.
1 Star
Yarn was heavier than other brands of dk yarn. Also tends to pill or fuzz easily
Great color variety for crocheting
I like the large variety of interesting colors and shades at a very reasonable price point. I use it for stash building for crocheted afghans. I have been using Stylecraft DK Life and Rowan Felted Tweeds, the Paintbox blends in well and helps me expand the palette.
