It knits at 20 stitches and 24 rows to 4 inches on US 7 (4.5 mm) needles and crochets on a G (4.5 mm) hook.

Questions and answers

Is this yarn good for baby clothes?
Yes. It is 100% cotton, breathable and machine washable on gentle at 30°C, which suits baby garments. Cotton has no stretch, so use a soft ribbing or blend for cuffs.
How much does one skein make?
Each 250 g skein is about 93 yards (85 m). A baby cardigan typically takes 3 to 5 skeins, so the 20-ball pack covers a full garment or several small projects.
What needle and hook size should I use?
US 7 (4.5 mm) needles give the stated 20 stitches and 24 rows to 4 inches. For crochet, use a G (4.5 mm) hook. Swatch first, since cotton gauge can shift after washing.
Does it shrink or fade in the wash?
Machine wash gentle at 30°C and dry flat to limit shrinkage. Cotton can fade over time, so wash inside out and avoid hot water and tumble drying.
Is this the same as Paintbox Cotton DK?
No. Cotton Aran is thicker and knits at a larger gauge than the DK line. Check your pattern's gauge before substituting one for the other.
What is in the value pack?
Twenty skeins of Cotton Aran in Ballet Pink (653), 250 g each. No needles, hooks or patterns are included.
What do buyers say about the Paintbox Yarns Cotton Aran 20 Ball Value Pack Yarn Ballet Pink (653)?
Rated 4.7 out of 5 from 3,100 ratings.
