Wool Ease
Posted on Sunday, June 7th, 2009 at 12:02 pmIs it a bad idea to use a wool blend yarn for a baby blanket?
Yes, another baby blanket question! :-p
I was considering using Wool-Ease Chunky, which is I think a 50/50 blend of wool and acrylic. A friend of mine told me no wool anything because it would be too scratchy, but I was wanting more opinions.
You sound like a very thoughtful person to ask this question. The problem with wool and even some acrylics is they have fine hairs that become airborne and then the baby breathes them in and can choke or have difficulty breathing. Look for yarns that have been designed especially for babies.
Here is a link below for marymaxim just to give you an idea of what is available. They have been in business since 1959,so they are up on the latest trends. also, you can check the sizes of the baby afghans while you are at it as I happened to notice you had another question re: this. Make sure you get something that can be washed and dried a lot. good luck!
