This wool is so beautiful and soft, ideal for baby skin but equally amazing for adult knits for those with sensitive skin. I use baby wool regularly for my knitting, for myself and family and have never been disappointed with the results.

Lovely wool all the time.

I was impressed that this acrylic yarn knitted up softly. Usually I knit with all wool but was looking for a vegan alternative to try. The colour is a pale warm blue, very cuddly and perfect for baby clothes.
