paintbox

Post by irene »

Hi,
has anyone ever used or heard of a yarn called Paintbox? It is a self patterning yarn, in some very nice colours.I spotted it on the market yesterday but didnt risk buying any because there was know infomation on the ball band about fiber content or washing instuctions.If anyone can help I know it will still be there next week. if it is worth getting.
Hope someone can help :?
Best wishes
Irene :)

Hi Irene
I have just finiished a baby cardigan in cheap wool, what a waste of time, the wool kept splitting, I am not buying cheap again, would rather spend a few extra pence and get good wool,takes time and effort to knit and it should look and feel good.its true you get what you pay for.
Ann
Happy Easter knitting

You have made up my mind for me.Your right you do get what you pay for and i would kick myself if all that knitting was wasted.
Thanks again
