It always feels like Christmas when I get that knock on the door and it's my postman delivering yarn — even when it’s a yarn I already know and love. Paintbox yarns Simply Aran is one of those brands I reach for again and again, but I still get that little spark of joy when a yarny parcel arrives.  I use Paintbox Yarns Simply Aran a lot in my patterns, and my favourite thing to make with it is definitely blankets. It’s soft, comfortable to work with, and comes in a nice range of colours, which makes it ideal for mixing, matching, and creating really beautiful blanket designs.
