I saw a baby sweater made out of a sort of natural white. It looked so cute. And it wasn't pastel yellow, or pastel green which made it even better in my mind because it wouldn't get lost in all the other stuff made for the baby in those colors. Elaine--I couldn't believe an acrylic yarn could be that soft. I bet it would be really nice as a scarf. I hate having itchy things near my neck. Jocelyn–I was just thinking about that the other day.

I have a few skeins of the MicroSpun stashed away to be crocheted into a granny square scarf from First Crochet. I agree that it is really soft. It should be ideal for a baby blanket since it will be easily washable and stain resistant. Cheers, Elaine I can’t wait to see how this turns out, Fern.

Babies are so lucky these days - they don't just get the boring pastels like they used to. And I like the idea of a few squares in reverse colour-way. Love those colours!
