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:
