THE NATURAL LUXURY FIBERS:

Super Fine Merino Wool

The Merino wool is the finest in the world with a micron count very close to that of the cashmere undercoat. Super fine. Merino wool is the most delicate and softest wool. It also has lots of crimp and elasticity making it ideal for spinning into cloud soft baby yarn. Wool is a natural insulator. It absorbs moisture and remains warm even when wet.

HANDSPUN YARN:

This baby sweater is knit by hand from yarn that I spun especially for this project.
First I have to card the fibers to fluff them up and get out any tangles. This also lines up the fibers to make them easier to spin.
Once the fiber is carded to my satisfaction i take it in to my spinning wheel and listen to an audio book while I spin it up. Once I have 2 bobbins full I go back and “ply” them together. Most of my handspun yarns have 2 plies… More

HANDKNITTING:

This original design is lovingly and expertly hand knitted in the traditional fashion with great attention to detail. The lines are Simple, Classic and Timeless.
Any baby will appreciate the luxurious warmth and softness of this luxurious wool yarn, any mother will love the simple, classic lines and beautiful handspun yarn. This design will look equally stunning on a baby boy or baby girl.
