Is this yarn good for baby blankets?

Yes. It is soft, machine washable and has passed the highest skin-contact safety standard, which makes it a common choice for baby items.

Yes. It is designed for machine washing and drying, which is why it suits gifts and everyday garments.

Our take on the Anti-Pilling Everyday Worsted

Premier Anti-Pilling Everyday Worsted is a 4-ply worsted-weight acrylic yarn built on the brand's anti-pilling fiber, so finished blankets, sweaters and baby items are meant to stay smooth wash after wash. It is soft, machine washable and holds up to frequent use, which makes it a practical workhorse for gifts and everyday garments. It has passed the highest skin-contact safety standard, so it suits baby items and sensitive skin. Against wool and cotton worsted yarns it wins on easy care and value per project, but it is acrylic, so it lacks wool's warmth and stitch definition and cotton's breathability.
