Which yarn for baby blanket?

How-to Questions

Hey Ladies,

The suggestions for Encore for my kids sweaters was right on! Thank you so much. I’m working on two of them and am in love! I’m making a cute plum colored raglan for the baby and a precious precious cornflower blue eyelit cardigan for the baby as well.

Anywho, I want to start a blanket for the baby. I was thinking of a wave scene and probably lining the back since there will be color change. I’m looking for worsted weight using size 8s. Must be washable, what brands could I use? I’m enjoying Encore and need a variety of colors in the pallette, and would like something soft. :slight_smile: Should I stick with Encore?
Thanks, Candace

You can stick with Encore, or you could use Caron’s simply soft. It’s very soft, machine washable, and very affordable.

Encore has a huge variety of colors, and since you know you like it, why not stick with it?

Heh, ok. Your right. heh.

Ingrid, I dont want to use it for this blanket, but have you ever used Reynolds Smile? Its pretty! But Im afraid it may act like homespun. I searched here and only found one reference to it.

No, I never heard of Reynolds Smile.

I’ve used Bernat Cotton Tots for a baby blanket I made. It was nice and soft – worsted weight, and pretty inexpensive.
