Alize Baby Best is one of the most popular yarns for baby knitwear among our customers. Babies' and newborns' skin is susceptible, so they usually feel uncomfortable with natural wool garments. For sensitive baby's skin, merino wool would be the perfect fiber because it's much softer than traditional wool. But merino wool yarn is also more expensive. So here is the other option - quality anti-pilling acrylic and soft bamboo blend. This yarn is very soft and perfect for sensitive baby skin. It does not irritate the skin. Bamboo fiber is softer than cotton, and clothes made with bamboo feel heavenly to wear! Also, bamboo absorbs moisture, and it is a hypoallergenic fiber that makes it the perfect fiber for allergy sufferers. Amount: For a baby/kid cap, baby pants 1 skein is enough; for a baby/kid sweater - 2 skeins.
