I'm making a baby blanket for a friend's mother, and so I want to be sure that she can machine-wash the blanket easily. The label on the hank said to hand-wash, but various sites that sell the yarn said machine-wash is fine. Is it fine to machine wash it, or how badly will machine washing damage the yarn?
The biggest problem is probably going to be shrinking. If this were clothing, that would be a big issue, but for a blanket, it should be alright.
It's very important to note that when you give handmade gifts to a baby or child, they're going to need frequent washings. I'd select a yarn designed for baby projects for that reason. Most are acrylic, probably for their washability.

Hello, knitting pros- Another quick question for you all- Im trying to follow a pattern for a baby cardigan and want to use a different yarn from the one thats mentioned in the pattern- "Lion Brand Nature's Choice Organic Cotton". Im in the process of making a blanket with this yarn already and now want to experiment with other yarns. What can I use in its place- Im a complete novice, so I would appreciate brand names. Thanks again!!
Thanks everyone! Unfortunately, I went and bought yarn that not only doesnt have the same gauge as the pattern mentions but shrinks in the wash as well :( .. Needless to say I didnt read the replies to my question... oh well, a lesson learnt(the hard way!)
You can interchange this yarn with another worsted weight yarn, but stay away from Lion's Kitchen Cotton, it is a bit hard for baby clothes. Lamb's Pride's Cotton Fleece is a nice one if you want to stay with cottons. That said, it's now time for you to learn to read a ball band <G> for this purpose. Look at the number of stitches per inch and the recommended needle size. Any other yarn that will match that number of stitches (or a half stitch smaller or larger with different sized needles in the same area--7 to 9 US) will probably work. In this case, the ball band (or hang tag) will most likely tell you it is a worsted weight yarn. If you want to stay away from acrylics (acryllicks to me, I prefer natural fibers) and want a wool, look for one that indicates it is a Superwash. These yarns can be safely washed in the machine, and while they can go into the dryer, really should be dried in the air on a flat surface (you don't want to see some of my socks <G>. Cascade 220 has a superwash version that is quite affordable, and Lorna's Laces Shepherd Worsted is absolutely beautiful superwash merino, though more expensive. If you really want a fairly decent acrylic, though, look for Patons Canadiana or Plymouth Encore. Those are about the only two I'll work with occasionally.

I wanted to start a small business during my senior year or high school. Winter is coming up and I figured I should maybe start by making stuff such as baby blankets and clothes and/or dog clothes and beds. I want to make at least $700,000 by the time I'm 22 (not just supporting myself on this job) and hoping to start soon. Are these easy to make things with? Does anyone know where I can purchase organic cotton for cheaper? Even better...does anyone know where i can get alpaca fur for cheaper?
Is 50% alpaca 50% silk good? It seems to be cheaper and have deeper colors
Alpaca fur makes wonderful yarn! There is a business call The Alpaca Connection, perhaps you could get in contact with them somehow to learn more about Alpaca fur.
Also organic cotton, dyed cotton, elasthan, acrylic
yeah i am interested....can you please send me the details...i have read about it at http://www.europetravelhub.com
