Baby Cashsoft Merino is soft to the touch and feather-light against the skin, which is what makes it such a dependable choice for babies and small children. A blend of merino wool and acrylic gives it warmth and durability, and the touch of cashmere adds a softness you can feel straight off the ball.
It is not only a baby yarn, though. The stitch definition is refined enough for textured work and cables, and the shade range reaches well past traditional pastels into brights and deeper tones, so it suits garments and accessories for any age. At 130m per 50g ball it sits a little finer than DK, and it knits to the same tension as Debbie Bliss Baby Cashmerino, which makes it a straightforward substitute in patterns written for that yarn.
Machine washable, which matters more for baby knits than almost anything else. Wash cold on a gentle cycle, dry flat in the shade, and avoid the tumble dryer. Do not bleach; iron on a low heat if needed.
