New Release

Oh baby

Soft, machine washable and easy to care for – the new Rico Baby Cotton Soft DK is everything you could want when making summer clothing and blankets for tiny tots. It’s available in several soft and gender-neutral shades, including the printed variations pictured here. The yarn is a super soft and fine cotton blend, consisting of 50% acrylic and 50% cotton – just the thing to go easy on baby’s skin. It creates a lightweight and breathable fabric that will keep babies cool yet protected during warm days in the sun. Though the yarn is fairly easy to care for, avoid the tumble dryer, dry all garments flat and use a cool iron to get out any creases.
