I am sure the baby will appreciate that this is a very soft yarn. And Mum will love the fact that she can wash this gorgeous jacket in the washing machine. (Apparently, the jacket has even gone through the dryer unscathed, although I would probably not recommend doing that.) Thank you so much for sharing your...
