I ordered this yarn to make a crib blanket for a new baby.  Acrylic is a good choice for baby blankets, being hypoallergenic, and machine washable.  This made a soft blanket, and not too heavy weight - necessary, since the gift was being sent to Arizona.  I chose the ecru yarn, since it's baby spit color coordinated (and babies do spit up).  I'll be ordering more to have in stock for the next time I need to make a baby blanket.
