Yarn Love ❤️








Lots of people on Instagram had been talking about some lovely new yarn and I just had to try some as well. Any excuse!


It's from a company called Paintbox yarns and the colour palette they offer is just delicious. I think there are about sixty shades in total and I had such a hard time choosing as I loved so many of the colours! 


I tend to use mainly DK yarn when I crochet but this time I've gone for Aran weight. A change is good sometimes isn't it?


The colours I've chosen are all sort of ice cream shades (my usual preference then really!) and they are...banana cream, candy floss pink, champagne white, pale lilac, pistachio green and washed teal. I have to say that the colours are totally gorgeous.  I ❤️ them. I wonder if this will takeover from Stylecraft Special DK as my favourite blanket yarn?! 


I think I will probably end up making a pretty blanket with this yarn. And probably soon as the temptation to start using this lovely new yarn is very strong!


Have any of you tried this yarn yet? What do you think of it?

PS. This is not a sponsored post! I bought the yarn myself from lovecrochet.com ... I'll post again when I've actually crocheted with it!


PPS. Thank you so much for the lovely comments lately ❤️

  1. I've been looking at them. I'm torn between the frost colour range or the autumn one! I suspect that means I buy both but then do I go for acrylic or cotton. I really will have to order soon. x

  2. I used a baby Paintbox yarn a few years ago. The label looked different, so I'm not sure it is the same company. But it was beautifully soft.
