The yarn has not been treated

You already know that fabrics made with merino wool have superior softness, but did you know that by purchasing organic merino wool, you are buying the best wool found anywhere in the world. Does it Matter to the Sheep? Merino wool that is certified organic means that the wool was grown without the use of chemicals or pesticides.

Finding patterns to knit for the baby can be one of the most essential aspects of knitting. Yarn or cotton is easily attainable as are the other tools for knitting. In this day and age there is simply no need to pay for baby knitting patterns. There are plenty of sites that offer free baby knitting patterns. Before the internet and other communications technology made information so easy to exchange, patterns were only available from word of mouth. Usually they were passed down between families from one person to the next. Later, this was done through magazine publications and fabrics stores. Unfortunately, this was only a modest improvement.
