Diaper Swappers

sisu · 08-21-2011, 12:43 PM

I'm going to knit a sleep sack and hat for the newb soon, and DH fell in love with a CW that's on Malabrigo Worsted Superwash - no other CW will do now.

Is this yarn a good bet for a sleep sack? I have no experience with it.

Thanks

Malabrigo definitely is, I'm not sure about SW though. Some people swear it works just as well, but I've never tried it.

Sounds promising...

Is Superwash still as soft as regular? I'm not too worried about how well it works as a diaper cover, but it definitely needs to be soft.

No help... just want to see the CW

That's beautiful! Great for a halloween baby too.

Very pretty! I did a Kicky Pickle sleep sack from Malabrigo. Lovely yarn. The SW though won't absorb like untreated wool, so I would only use it with a waterproof diaper.
