Soft and cozy...perfect for baby items (5 out of 5)
This was my first time trying Soud and Chloe and I'm loving this yarn so much! Making baby blankets for twin cousins preemies, so my biggest concerns were that the finished product be soft, cozy, pretty and easy for Mom to wash. They also live in the southern part of the US, so I didn't want pure wool as I didn't think they'd get as much use. It knits up like a dream...I love cotton, but it has almost no give - yet this blend is perfection. Enough give to have even stitches, but the cotton helps keep its shape. I think I've found a new favorite for baby gifts!!
Every single stitch has to pass through your hands so you might as well choose a yarn that feels good to you as well as considering the finished product. Sweater by Spud and Chloë is just such a pleasure. I made a baby blanket in Watermelon for the washability and I was sad when the project was finished because it was so lovely to work with. My only regret is that it's rather hard to find. Now that I know JBW carries it, I will choose it again and again.
The colors are really nice especially for those who like bright colors and they mix well together. The yarn iteself is a little hard to work with. It don't knit up as well as I would like so I changed my knitting style to continental to make sure I get even stitches. It then worked up well for me for a larger sweater project. Small items work well however such as baby items, hats, stuffed animals, and the like. It also washes well in the washer and dryer!
