Collection: Rico Yarns
Unmatched Softness with Rico Baby Classic DK
When it comes to knitting for newborns, the feel of the yarn is everything. Rico Baby Classic DK is specially designed to be one of the softest yarns on the market, featuring a high-quality blend of acrylic and polyamide that mimics the luxury of wool without any of the "scratchiness." At The Wool Shop, we love this range for its incredible lightness and "squishy" texture that feels like a cloud against a baby's skin.
Beyond its softness, Rico Baby DK is a dream for busy parents. It is hard-wearing, pill-resistant, and fully machine washable, ensuring that those hand-knitted cardigans and blankets stay looking new even after frequent use. What truly sets Rico apart is their sophisticated, modern colour range—moving beyond basic pink and blue to include stylish ochres, sages, and dusky roses. Whether you’re crafting a first layette or a special nursery gift, Rico Baby Classic DK provides a professional, high-end finish.
