CHARLES
Hand-Knitted Merino Wool Baby Blanket is design by Olga Begak. CHARLES knitting pattern for Aran yarn is available here.
This baby afghan is made of 100% superwash treated merino from free-range animals in South America, DROPS Big Merino. The main characteristics of this yarn are the softness, volume and elasticity. The yarn is also superwash treated and therefore machine washable and suitable for everyday use.
DROPS Big Merino is spun from multiple thin strands, which gives the yarn extra elasticity. Is this special construction that makes it extra important to treat the garment right: make sure that you knit with the correct tension and rather use a tight tension than loose. Merino wool is amazingly soft, lightweight, breathable and active fiber that reacts to changes in body temperature and discourages sweating, so the blanket can be used the whole year around.
This yarn has an Oeko-Tex® certification (certificate № 25.3.0110), Standard 100, Class 1. This means that it has been tested and found completely free from harmful chemicals and that it is safe for human use. Class 1 is the highest level and it means the yarn is suitable for baby articles (ages 0–3).
