Perfect yarn for baby blankets
I like that it is good quality and the wool itself is very soft, perfect for a baby blanket. It worked really well. The colours were perfect for this blanket. I followed a pattern.

Love Love Love Loveknitting
Lovely soft baby Double Knitting Wool. Pastel Colours so perfect for the tiny baby hats for Special Care Ward donation. As I am not very mobile being able to order and get delivered to my home is perfect as let's face it there aren't a lot of wool shops around now. Thankyou Loveknitting
I love shopping with Love Crafts
I like this yarn, and bought multicolored packs before, the colours just work together. Yarn is soft, bo knots, however in this particular pack the cream was the thinnest and the purple was the thickest yarn, so some discrepancies in weight.
I made a baby blanket and not knowing the sex of the upcoming arrival the colour mix was a perfect choice.
Doing Business with LoveCrochet feels like it was made just for me!
I love these sweet yarns. They're not quite as soft as some of the other paintbox offerings, and the assortment and colors are so lovely that I just used a hook size larger than recommended and fell in love with the texture of the yarn. :D Baby things are sometimes hard to plan, and having the colors chosen for me made this lovey absolutely perfect!
I have knitted a blanket for a new baby, the yarn is lovely and soft and the colours work beautifully together
The yarn is great. Vibrant colors. The pattern is not the best. Explanation of crocheting the squared together is lacking the finer details.
I'm making chemo caps this yarn if perfect!
Simply the Best
I love this range of baby yarn. Delicate shades and so soft to knit and wear.
What I need When I need it!
