Now the cold is coming many people are getting their knitting needles out to make new garments to keep them warm and cosy. This is the case especially for making baby garments as children need to feel the warmth more than anyone. Knitted baby garments are not just great for keeping warm but also to look nice as they are so popular and trendy when it comes to children's wear. Here at Calico Laine we sell a variety of Knitted Wool especially for children's garments which are extra soft and feel more luxurious on babies skin. When it comes to baby Knitting Yarn most people tend to opt for traditional baby colours like cream, baby pink and baby blue but for those who want to knit baby garments in more unusual colours they should try our wondersoft lullaby dk wool.
