ROWAN BABY CASHSOFT MERINO | | | There's nothing like crafting cuddly knits for babies and children. When choosing a yarn for baby garments and blankets, knitters know that picking the right yarn boils down to 3 key attributes: softness, durability and easy-care washability. If you've got a special baby in your life, a baby on the way, or just enjoy knitting with a yarn that's baby-soft, allow us to introduce you to Rowan Baby Cashsoft Merino! | |
This beyond-buttery soft sport weight blend combines 57% merino wool, 33% acrylic, and 10% cashmere comes in an expansive color palette spanning from classic baby colors and super brights to dramatic neutrals. Each 142 yard ball of Baby Cashsoft Merino knits up into a feather-like fabric that's gentle on the skin for little ones with a refined stitch definition that will appeal to the young at heart too. It can also be machine washed on cold then laid flat to dry. We're stocking Rowan Baby Cashsoft Merino at Loop in Center City and online.
