Wonderfully warm and snuggly, the super soft cashmere baby shawl is knitted using the best cashmere yarn fibre sourced in Mongolia and made in Italy. A treasured gift for every family’s precious new arrival, perfect for a baby shower, newborn or special occasion.
We have been using this sample blanket everyday since our little one was born, it folds into a triangle perfectly and makes the most luscious swaddle blanket, now he is nearly one, the blanket has been in the washing machine (wool cycle) for almost a hundred times, but still looks just like day one thanks to the chain construction yarn using the best cashmere fibre. Generously sized, I can see him using it for another few years before passing it down.
