Loop & Leaf News
Spring in Santa Barbara is a great time to knit for babies! Washable wools are perfect for garments while there is still a chill in the air, and cottons are great now that warmer days are becoming more and more frequent. The babies in all of our lives deserve hand-knitted heirlooms to remind them when they’re older of how loved they are. Come see our new wall of baby yarns and patterns – all fun to knit!

This yarn will make it look like you worked too hard in plain stockinette stitch! It will randomly self stripe in gorgeous complimentary colors, and any child will be comfortable in this soft cotton.

This hand-dyed superwash wool comes in amazing colorways, and because it’s washable, it’s perfect for baby.
