Cocoon DIY Knitting Kit - TWIN
The Cocoon DIY Knitting Kit - TWIN contains all you need to knit 2 beautiful cocoons.
Whether you're expecting a pair, someone in your circles is, can't decide between 2 colors...
The cocoon provides gentle and safe swaddling to the baby, with a permanent feeling of contact all around them, without the physical restraints of traditional swaddling.
It contains the movements, like the awakening startling Moro reflex, while providing some range of gesture: accessing their hands for discovery, stretching their legs, and small rotations of neck and head, so critical for their motor developments, gain of control and balance.
The natural properties of our 100% Super Wash Merino wool provide the benefits of a natural thermo-regulation, a soft, anti-plush, hypoallergenic texture on the most sensitive skin.
Our kit is designed with all you can possibly need to make it yourself, adding your own extra touch of love that will make it even more special for this baby in your life!

- 5 stitch markers. Never too many of those!
- 1 marker row counter. So helpful to track your progress.
- 2 cloth label to be sewn.
- 4 no-iron fabric labels to add the baby's name (ideal to put on the back of the cloth label)

All items are stored in cotton drawstring bags. The larger ones, containing the yarn, can also be used as a wash bag to protect the item in the washing machine.
Care
Good news: the Super Wash 100% Merino is machine washable! Pick the delicate or wool program, use a wool detergent, cold temperature.
Just lay flat to dry (preferably on a towel) and VOILA!
Gravity on wet wool is not a friend here and will cause distortions in the garment.
For small stains, you can gently use a little bit of soap and water.
And remember, Merino wool is a natural fiber and you don't need to wash often. Unpleasant odors can naturally fly away by simply airing out the garment for a couple of hours (weather permitting obviously!).
