Ditto, use Stylecraft all the time including their cakes. I might try a different brand one day ie Lion Brand, Hobium or another Crystal recommended brand. Can get Stylecraft online from Lovecrafts, Wool Warehouse and Hobbycraft. Thanks for the vid Crystal 😊
I learnt with style craft and it’s my go to for 100% acrylic it has a more luxurious feel and I’ve found wears better regarding piling. Paintbox is still a good option for a budget yarn though. I love your tutorials so much you have helped me progress and lose the fear of patterns. I’m very grateful for all your content it’s awesome thankyou Crystal 🥰👋🏻🥰
@@kirstykin8260 doesn't make sense to give people days to party, then wonder why we have another spike, but johnson 🙄 Still we have loo paper, pasta, yarn and most importantly a whole back catalogue of Crystal's tutorials, so happy hooking ladies, take care and stay safe.
@@dawnb8123 I agree nobody knows which way is up lately its chaos by me I'm still in hiding but I have tons of yarn hooks and inspiration so I'm good lol xx
Paintbox Aran has been my favorite yarn, hands down. It has a great soft texture and goes together like butter. It also washes and drys very well and I haven't noticed any splitting or pilling. I order mine thru Lovecrafts, and they often have it for 20-30% off, also they give you a discount in the multi-packs. I've also found Lovecrafts shipping to be cheaper than other online yarn sellers. I have to admit I've never tried the stylecraft yarn, but I think I will stick with my favorite.
Hello Crystal, I love this comparison video, its great to hear people's opinions of different brands. I'm a knitter and live in Scotland, UK. I have used the style craft special a number of times, mainly knitting ladies aran sweaters, they always knit up beautiful, and it washes and wears fantastic, I knit an aran sweater for a very good friend about 5 year ago in the style craft special aran and it's still like new and I'm currently working on another sweater in the same wool in a different colour for the same friend. I have only used the paint box yarn once after a recommendation and although it knit up nicely I just wasn't as impressed with it, but everyone has their own favourites
Ah Cristal thank you for spending this much time on these Uk yarns..... you have taught me everything I now and I now have my own little crochet shop with over 4000 sales. You are probably one of the most talented on you tube.... I hope you are managing to make a living from your designed ... you truly are my crochet guru 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Thank you so much. I am struggling to find reasonable yarn in the UK. I have only used Paintbox and will try Stylecraft next. Paintbox Simply Aran easy to crochet with but wish I had used a size 7mm crochet hook. Would appreciate more videos on UK yarn. Thanks so much for your Chantel I watch you all the time and your tutorials are the best.
I love the Paintbox Chunky yarn. Here in Mobile, AL. Joann's and Michaels are having trouble getting the yarn I usually use and they are even out on line. So, I started ordering on line. I also came across another brand that I love and that is Brava Chunky yarn, so soft and the feel of it when crocheting is wonderful. Color are beautiful also.
Those colors are beautiful!! I love the Stylecraft color! ♥️♥️🧶💜💜!! So rich !! Love all you do! Comparisons, giveaways, tutorials, dying yarns, EVERYTHING!! I’m so glad someone referred me to you! ❣️❣️❣️❣️😄
I am in the U.K. & it's lovely to see a review of a yarn that Is easily accessible to me, in the Stylecraft. To have it alongside a USA favourite AND for it to get a few thumbs up from you Crystal, makes me feel included. Thank you so much. 💙
I have purchased stylecraft dk which comes in about 87 colors (yes I got them all. Lol). And I love this yarn. I live in the US. Thanks for the review.
Hi Crystal - thanks for another terrific video! Also - for all you Canadians : Yarn Canada has Stylecraft Special DK on the website - $5.99 CND for 294 metres (322 yards) Good selection of colours too!! :)
I am a very devoted Paintbox customer. They have many many choices in colors and styles of yarn. Check out their Chunky Pots cake yarns. I always get compliments on my projects when I use Paintbox yarn. I have many fewer issues with knots and tangles than I do with many yarns that I purchase at US big box craft stores. Color choices are incredible.
I really appreciate your yarn reviews I have been hesitant on trying some of the different kinds with a limited budget at times. I have found you to be spot on with the reviews and opened my yarn world to other kinds. Thanks Crystal
thanks for your review. as a long time crocheter, and doing a lot of projects that need often washing (kids, and animals ha, ha) i realized that the stylecraft special aran holds better than the paintbox aran after washing and drying. i'm not sure that it's anti pilling but after few years of using - it definitely looks like.
I just ordered a yarn kit from Stylecraft in Dk weight and fall colors. Anxious now to get and start project. Shipping was not bad. 15 balls for $40 couple dollars. Thanks!
The colors of these two skeins are lovely and I'm drawn to them. They both look like they would work up well--as you said Crystal, it's personal preference especially when it comes to how it feels, etc. I've never used either one, but I'd like to try them both.
Yeah this is great for us from the UK we can compare thickness and weights to your US yarn . I always get confused what a worsted weight etc is. Thank u for including yarns we can get without it costing an arm and a leg x
I like and use both. You are spot on with the feel of them. I am from the US, but before I found you, I was learning from Bella Coco. At that time she was selling this from her home. She has come a long way since then, she is now associated with Love Craft, which has changed it’s name a lot, it was called something else, when she first collaborated with them.
Ty crystal another greatly appreciated review... I think I like both of them.. haven’t tried either but colors are both beautiful... to me per camera shot... the size looked pretty equal... but I’ll take your word on the specs....truthfully I’d like to try both someday...
I love the stylecraft special. My friend buys it and I was lucky to use it and I enjoyed it very much. Currently saving to buys some. That plum looks beautiful. Thank you so much for the great video. Big hugsss 💙🐱🧶🌸
Thanks Crystal. Fab review. These are my go to yarns. I have way more Paintbox but as you said mainly because of the pastel colour range. I mainly make baby stuff and find. Stylecraft much softer particularly for crocheting thicker fabrics. Paintbox is a bit ‘stiff’ and doesn’t drape as well. But both are lovely! 🇬🇧
I have used Stylecraft DK and I found it splits. Maybe the 4 and 5 weight are wound tighter however I never used those. Paintbox in cotton is a favorite for me and never tried the acrylic. Thank you for the reviews.
Thank you Crystal, I haven't used either of these. I have seen Paintbox at Lovecraft always thought it was a little expensive. When you are donating most items you need to watch for price. Very informative. Be well stay safe.♥️
This is a very nice review. Thank you. I’ve crochet lots with Stylecraft. Cloth, blankets, hats, poncho’s, scarfs (it’s very skarfable....) It is not very expensive and keeps well after washing and washing and washing .....And than specially the Stylecraft dk anti-pilling
I’m in the UK so it’s great 👍🏾 to see this review. Paintbox neon and greys (especially granite) are fabulous but for everything else I choose Stylecraft Special. Thank you 😍😍😍
Thanks Crystal.... 😊 I tag you in a project I made for my dad on instagram. It’s not one of yours this time, but the baby blanket I’m working on is. I’ll post it when it’s done. Thanks for being here for all of us
I’ve used both and yes like you I do like both but yes I think being in uk I can grab stylecraft much easier and do get some great bargains online with this yarn I agree with you 100%
Thanx Crystal.. As always, I appreciate ALL that you do, to help our crochet community! I think, that I will absolutely have to try both of these yarns! Hugs from Arizona,Pamela
I am glad you reviewed the Stylecraft. I have wondered about it since I have seen a lot of videos using it on baby blankets. Thanks Crystal, love watching your channel.
Thank you for the review and all of the UK viewers opinions. I just got the Persian Tiles pattern and they put Stylecraft yarn in the kit and was unsure how it would hold up. Thank you everyone!!
I love Stylecraft special yarn I have a lot of the dk weight and some 4ply.. I love using that yarn ,I can’t say about paintbox I haven’t got any to try .. xx
Hi Chrystal. I know you always say you love bulky yarns (5 and 6). I live in sunny San Diego County, so I really have no need of bulky yarns. My favorite yarns are 2, no bigger than a 3. Take care. Love your videos!
Good review! I actually use both Stylecraft Special Aran and Paintbox Aran quite often. I love them equally. I do agree with you as far as color choices. Stylecraft, in my opinion, has much prettier colors.
This is so cool...I just ordered and received the "Stylecraft Special Chunky" in copper!! Never used before. I'm am really enjoying working with it! Love the feel & the color!! Thanks for the review!!
I'm going to do CAL in a week and bought a kit from Wool Warehouse. The yarn is Stylecraft Special DK. I'm absolutely in love with this yarn before I even handle it. I've been using a lot of wol lately so this is kind of a treat. Plus, Wool Warehouse is very kind and efficient. Got 22 skeins in my kit in a week only because DHL doesn't deliver in my area. Imagine, from the UK in a week.
Hi Crystal, stylecraft special is widely used in the U.K. by knitters and crocheters. I have used both brands lots of times and they are comparable. Paintbox baby dk is a softer yarn but it comes in a 50g ball. Lots of colours available in both stylecraft and paintbox. I like them equally. Hugs from the U.K. 🇬🇧
Thanks for the comparison. I am in Europe and it's good to know what's out there. I can't readily find yarn variety in my country and usually get it on line however this is also difficult as you can't feel or squeeze the yarn. Your reviews and opinions are highly valued and so so helpful. Thanks so much for this.
I have used both from Lovecrafts (I’m in Australia & ordered online) the colours are amazing. I found Stylecraft split a little but not enough to turn me off it. They’re both lovely and soft
I love both of those clolor. I was surprised they didn't split. The paintbox is always out of stock in the color that I want. But I will keep watching it. Thank you for the video! 🥰❤🌈
Hey, Crystal...I am liking the purple... maybe a colour preference but, I am looking at the strand itself and the paintbox looks a wee bit more together... my favourite hook is a 5 or 5.5 so both yarns would work well with those sizes... I am still partial to the purple... QUESTION TO EVERYONE... Am I the only one that uses their favourite hooks and adjusts the pattern? I am guilty more so than not... Thanks, Crystal... Have a great weekend!!!
Hai Crystal, here in the Netherlands Stylecraft special DK (4 weight) a very populair acrylic yarn...it comes in 97 colors and cost 2.70 euro for 295 meters. Also the Scheepjes Color Crafter (I don't know if this yarn is available in the uS) it is also 4 weight acrylic, comes in 93 colors and cost 2.95 euro for 300 meters. These two can be combined with each other.
I love it when you do yarn comparisons, Crystal! Even though I've only recently heard about these yarns from your unboxings, it helps, because I shop at Thriftstores and sometimes run into unfamiliar yarn brands, that I've suspected were from other countries. Thank you!😊
I've never heard of either, hey before watching you Crystal I thought Red Heart was the only yarn to use. I'm loving the choices I have found because of your tutorials! Thank you Crystal. 🌺🌺🇺🇸
I crochet amigurumi and have found Paintbox Simply DK to be a great choice for my toys. LoveCraft has frequent sales and if your order is $65+, you get free shipping. With amigurumi, there are certain stock colors that I use a lot, so I'll do a bulk order to avoid the shipping costs. Check your receipt because there is usually a code on the bottom of it for an additional discount on your next order.
I'm in the Uk and love the Stylecraft yarns. They crochet well and wash well to! The colour choice is great. Thanks for the video. Best wishes x
I’m in the UK too.. I love Stylecraft yarn ..xx
Ditto, use Stylecraft all the time including their cakes. I might try a different brand one day ie Lion Brand, Hobium or another Crystal recommended brand.
Can get Stylecraft online from Lovecrafts, Wool Warehouse and Hobbycraft.
Thanks for the vid Crystal 😊
Beautiful colours 👍🏽
Woohoo !! Uk yarn review ...... likey !! Yarns I can actually buy 😆
My winner is Paintbox for the very same reason you chose Stylecraft over Paintbox yarns - the colors! I simply love the shades Paintbox yarns offer
I love paintbox.
Hi Crystal, I'm in the UK and I always use stylecraft!
Great! Send some my way!😁👍
It's a really nice yarn. Used it this year for the first time, and I love it!
Please send me some Stylecraft as well! LoL I wonder what shipping cost. Does anyone know by the pound?

Thank you Crystal for comparing UK yarns! It's really appreciated, they are much easier to come by in Europe compared to Red Heart etc. 👍
