It can get pretty hectic trying to welcome every new baby you know with a hand knit gift, which makes a little hat a great option. But how to convey that this is no ordinary hat? Choose an exquisite yarn! Purl Soho’s Line Weight is instantly special with its simple purity and understated beauty. A single ply, soft and cozy merino, it is as light as a feather and as soft as a kitten. Plus, the almost 500 yard skeins mean that you’re set for the next ten babies!
