Baby Yarns

[OnyxArtWorks]

What is you favorite yarn(s) to use for baby items? I have a friend expecting her second. I really like to use a bulky or chunky weight so it'll be a quick project. But I can always you more than one strand if it's thinner. Thanks in advance.

Im making a baby blanket now using Patons Be Mine. Its some of the softest yarn Ive ever used. Its going pretty fast and really beautiful.

I'm using Bernat Softee Baby for the Afghan of the Sandman. I used Bernat Cooridinates for a starghan and many other baby blankets. It's not chunky, but the colors are pretty pastels and there is a bit of a shine to it. And it's machine washable.

I'd also suggest you ask Mom and Dad if they are allergic to any kind of fiber/material. I almost made the sandman afghan with a wool mix - and Mom and Dad are severely allergic to wool!

I like Lion Pound of Love. It's worsted weight acrylic - machine wash and dry, which is important with babies. I've seen one of the afghans I made from it after many, many washings, and it still looks beautiful and is super soft.

I usually use Caron Simply Soft, but I recently discovered Bernat Cotton Tots, which is what I'm using for the blankie I'm working on now.

I like the Bernat Baby yarns and Caron Simply Soft (CSS). I actually like the feel of the Bernat Baby Coordinates (BBC) with the Caron Simply Soft. I haven't made a blanket with those two before. But I have made plenty of other things. I like the way it looks with a strand of white CSS and pink or blue BBC. Actually I think I will make something out those yarns now.

Bernat Cotton Tots is great. I have made many a well-loved blankie out of it. It doesn't get too bulky if you use two strands, either.

I use the Bernat Coordinates. I like the shine and it is soft after washing. Plus it is machine washable and dryable. I have used TLC Baby, too, with good results.

I finished a baby blanket with Baby Clouds last week...it was soft and fluffy, and worked up very nicely......

[papersmiles]

I used Baby Clouds as well because it worked up quickly and made a thick and extremely soft blanket. It think it is a nylon yarn so no allergy problems there and it washes well. The only extra that I did when I used it was to really make sure the ends were weaved in tightly because I knew it would be in the washer constantly

I like the Bernet baby yarns and Red heart Soft baby. Not much choice here where we only have a Walmart!

Thanks for the help guys! I'm going shopping next week after I get paid. My husband is going to go nuts... says I have enough yarn... is there really such a thing?

So true... Luckily Mom and Dad don't have that issue, but I do... .. so no sheep for me.

I use thread, a real soft cotton thread that I have. I also have some chenille that is thread size that I am going to use! I just like the threads for baby better than the yarns.

[Buttercup]

I like the Bernat Baby yarns also. They are soft and easy to work with.

I love the feel of the afghan I am making with the Baby softee.

i like to use caron simply soft for my baby blankets
