DMC 100% Baby White, ref. 489/01 (50 g): superwash merino wool for babies. Extremely soft to the touch, it is machine washable without shrinking, ideal for newborn sweaters, hats and blankets. DMC 100% Baby yarn is a pure "superwash" merino wool, specifically designed for baby clothing and accessories. Extremely soft to the touch, this yarn guarantees comfort on the most sensitive skin, without losing the lightness and elasticity characteristic of quality merino wool. Each skein weighs 50 g, yields approximately 225 meters and is available in a palette of soft pastel shades, suitable for newborn layettes, sweaters, jackets, hats, booties or crib blankets. Because it is "superwash", this yarn can be machine washed without the wool shrinking or losing its shape, a practical advantage for the daily life of those caring for a baby. The lightweight texture and good stitch definition make it suitable for both knitting and crocheting, with needles adjusted to the fine weight of the yarn. In addition to the natural thermal comfort of wool, which regulates body temperature well, DMC 100% Baby stands out for its soft weave, without loose fibers that could irritate a baby's skin. It is the recommended choice for those seeking a professional-quality yarn for hand-knitting garments for the first months of life, resulting in delicate and long-lasting pieces.
