Baby yarn

(23 products)

If you're anything like us, your fingers will be tingling as soon as a family member, a good friend or a dear colleague happily announces that they're expecting a baby.

With a new family member on the way, there's a need for a lot of equipment and, not to forget, clothing of all kinds. There is a need for both thick and thin sweaters, long and short pants, socks, bodysuits, hats, slippers and maybe even mittens depending on the season, etc. And many of the clothes can be knitted or crocheted in soft baby yarn such as merino yarn or wool yarn.

Mayflower has several different yarn qualities when it comes to soft baby yarn. Mayflower London Merino and the thinner version London Merino Fine are both spun from 100% pure merino wool.

In other words, the yarn quality is a lovely and soft baby merino yarn. Both the thin and the thick version is a great baby wool yarn that is ideal for sweaters and booties as well as pants and hats. The woolly quality is lovely and warm, as well as being breathable and allowing the little body to get rid of heat.

Of other Baby Wool yarn you will also find all the qualities of the Easy Care series, which is wonderful yarn for baby. Easy Care is obvious as baby wool yarn when, for example, you have to knit or crochet a nice, warm baby blanket for the car and the stroller or some warm slippers. Easy Care is also suitable for a thicker sweater that can be used as an extra insulating layer when it is cold outside. Easy Care is available in both solid and tweed versions in different thicknesses.

Our Mayflower Baby Alpaca Yarn is the obvious choice for extra soft clothing as it feels wonderful against the skin, just as it is durable.

Crochet baby toys are also obvious to give as a maternity gift to both baby and the slightly larger toddler. A crocheted teddy bear, ball, lovey or rattle is ideal to make in Mayflower Cotton 8/4, just as you can also choose to use the organic version, Mayflower Cotton 8/4 Organic. Both qualities come in a wealth of beautiful colors that will speak to the child's senses, just as the soft cotton yarn will feel nice for baby to put both the hands and the gums in.

Important qualities that give a good start to life 

Baby yarn is such a fairly wide designation that does not necessarily have to define any particular yarn type. There are several perceptions of what baby yarn really is, but at Mayflower we have under this term only gathered yarn that gives your child the very best conditions. 

In other words, our baby yarn is yarn, which is particularly suitable to use for all the knitting or crochet projects that you dream of making for your baby or for another baby in the family or in your circle. Baby yarn does not cover any specific yarn type or specific material, but common to all our baby yarn is that it has properties that make it fit perfectly for young children. 

Soft and gentle yarn for your newborn child

As a parent of a little, you naturally place great demands on the materials to be used for your child, and you probably agree that your child deserves only the very best. Therefore, it is a good idea to start your search for yarn at this particular webshop, as you can be sure that Mayflowers yarn for baby is living up to some specific requirements. 

Here is the first requirement that the yarn should be soft and delicious. As a newborn, the skin is thin and delicate, and therefore a small new one gets easier irritated skin if the skin is exposed to some products that are not suitable for delicate skin. With yarns spun on soft fibers, the little one gets the best conditions for a good start to life.

Practical and durable for everyday life

In addition, baby yarn should also be easy to hold. As a parent, you know everything about how baby food and other things can end up in all sorts of places, and therefore regular and thorough washing of baby clothes is a large part of everyday life. This will be easier if the clothes can be washed in the machine so you can just throw the clothes into the washing machine and use the wait for quality time with the small one. Several of the yarns in the category of baby -friendly yarn can be washed in machine.

Extra requirements are also set for the wear resistance when it comes to yarn for baby. It is hard for the textiles when they need to be washed so often, while of course it also wears when the small crawls at full speed across the floor. 

In addition, it is also important to think that your baby cannot say on and off when it gets either too hot or too cold. Therefore, baby yarns should have some good temperature -regulating properties so that the little one can easily get rid of excess heat. Similarly, the heat should also be able to be kept inside when needed. For this reason, natural materials such as wool will often be the best choice for the little one, as artificial materials do not have the same properties. 

Fink quality baby yarn for increased comfort

Finally, baby yarn is also characterized by its slightly finer quality. The yarn should consist of some thinner threads than the ones you use in your own projects, as the clothing in this way gives the child greater freedom of movement compared to thicker and more powerful yarn types. 

All these characteristics and more to find right here on the site, so you can easily get started knitting or crocheting nice clothes for the little ones in the family.
