Best Yarns to Use for Baby Blankets
Some of my favorite yarns to use for baby blankets are cotton and bamboo yarns. I figured I would mention them in case you need some guidance on what type of yarns are best to use for baby blankets. I find that an all natural yarn works best for baby projects. Maybe that’s just personal preference, but I find that cotton and bamboo yarn hold up really well over the years.
I’ve tried a variety of cotton and bamboo yarns, but some of my favorites include:
| Cotton Yarn Brands | Bamboo Yarn Brands |
| Ganxxet – Utku Cotton Yarn | Ganxxet – Bamboo yarn |
| Lion Brand – A Star is Born : Oh Baby Yarn | Lion Brand – Coboo Yarn (mix) |
| Lion Brand – Pima Cotton Yarn | Lion Brand – Truboo Yarn |
