  baby clothes.

  As a mom myself we buy a lot of cotton, but as a hand spinner I make the sweaters for my sons socks and blankets too. I do a ton of "hand me downs" and you could always "register" baby shower wise with a shop or place that understands your  preferences.
  I myself am designing a new line of all natural baby clothes. the harshest chemical on them will be vinegar, and the colors added to the clothes would be in "stages" just like foods. I will begin with things like wool diaper covers, socks , booties, blankets and hats hoping to expand into sweaters and more within the next year.. but all the items are hand spun from my own sheep, and also hand knitted. so the going is not as fast as I wish. I also dont know about the interest level in the things I want to do.But commentary on availability of these items to moms who hope for more it is a great thread.
  and if we want to get into just how green? my spinning wheel is all powered by me, my wool is dried on my trampoline and washed the first few times in sun warmed water..but as far as the baby line,
   if it wont buy sheep food maybe I need to keep making christmas ornaments and sculpting all wool puppets ..  so hearing that baby items are even wanted is a big big help
  thanks so much ! Melissa176
