I need recommendations for a REALLY soft, fine, acrylic baby yarn. I have been asked to make another baby blanket, and I prefer to make them with a fingering weight so that they are not too heavy for baby. The last one I made was with Brunswick yarn "Sweetpea", which was already discontinued when I bought it. It really is lovely, a baby fingering weight brushed acrylic which looks and feels just like a mohair, but without the shedding problem and is machine washable and dryable.
Most of the baby yarns I have seen in my lys, or in Hancock's or JoAnn's are just not very soft - in fact some of them are downright hard - certainly not anything I would use on a new baby.
Does anyone have any recommendations or sources? I think I have two skeins of pale blue left over in the Sweetpea, but a baby blanket will take about six.
