Cotton is great for baby knits worn indoors as well as during summer and mild-weather, it is also perfect for all-year accessories like blankets. Cotton is:
- Both soft to the feel and durable in wear
- Highly breathable
- Order resistant
- Low maintenance in care
We use several lines (German, Scandinavian and local Ontario-sourced yarn brands) of 100% natural cotton.
Wool is amazing on many levels, it is the oldest and remains the most versatile and functional of yarns. Wool is:
- An all-season temperature regulator
- Moisture absorbent and that is why 100% wool is used for diaper covers
- Stain and order resistant, meaning less frequent washing with sufficient airing
- Resilient and retains its shape
- Easy to care for
- Long lasting
We use a Peruvian line of baby-soft 100% wool for Lulé lil'boot.
Alpaca is easily our most favourite fiber and it works particularly well for baby wear. It is:
- Extra soothing to the touch with a naturally luxurious sheen
- Both lightweight and strong
- Both breathable and naturally windproof
- Stays warm when it absorbs moisture
- Hypoallergenic
- Stain and order resistant
- Easy to care for
- Long lasting
We use several lines (all Scandinavian yarn brands) of 100% alpaca as well as alpaca mixes with the addition of wool or silk.
Mohair and silk mix fiber adds that extra softness and feather-light volume ideal for the Lulé baby ballerina skirts; we use Scandinavian yarn brands for these projects.
