Dressing Babies in Merino Wool ::
Posted by vicki brown on
It's probably no secret that I love wool. I use it a lot in my work and also my personal knitting and crochet. But probably my favourite wool both to work with and wear is merino. It's just so soft and warm and wears beautifully. It also has a host of other qualities that make it perfect for babies.

Sophie la Girafe Cosmetics :: A Review ::
