A Selection of the Very Best Baby Yarn
The knitting & crochet yarn you choose to work with to create snuggly knits for children & babies needs to tick a few boxes if you’re going to use it to produce clothes and accessories that will stand the test of time.
First of all, the yarn itself needs to be beautifully soft and gentle – something that the gorgeous Cottonsoft Baby Crush DK from King Cole is famed for. Secondly, the very best wool for kids and babies needs to be washable, as you’ll need to be able to remove all of those pesky slips and spillages quickly and easily, without damaging the yarn itself.
And finally, of course, the best children’s yarn needs to be available in a mixture of both calming and playful colours, so you can pick a shade that perfectly matches the garment or accessory you have in mind. Sirdar Snuggly DK, a durable mix of nylon and acrylic, is available in over 50 colours, and the brighter King Cole Splash DK is another winner in the choice stakes, available in an array of shades.
