Baby & Kid-Friendly Yarn

Baby- and kid-friendly yarns are all about comfort, durability, and easy care. This collection brings together yarns we trust for projects made to be worn, washed, and loved by little ones. Each yarn has been chosen for its soft feel, gentle fibers, and ability to hold up to everyday use.

Many of these yarns are machine washable, which makes life easier for parents and caregivers. They’re soft enough for sensitive skin, sturdy enough for active play, and designed to keep their shape and color through frequent washes. You’ll find a range of weights and fiber types, making it easy to choose the right yarn for everything from lightweight layers to cozy winter knits.

Blue Sky Fibers’ Organic Cotton Worsted has been—and continues to be—our most popular yarn for baby blankets. Although the label recommends hand washing, we wash it in cold water on a gentle cycle with great results. Another blanket favorite—and a frequent choice for hats and sweaters—is Big Bad Wool’s Weepaca. This ultra-soft blend of alpaca and superwash wool is especially nice for little ones.

Whether you’re knitting a baby blanket, a sweater, or a few small accessories, these yarns are practical without sacrificing beauty. They’re a great choice for gifts, everyday wear, and projects you want to last.

If you’re not sure which yarn is right for your project or have questions about care, we’re always happy to help.
