YARN - The After Party 57 Bathing Duck

Who wouldn’t love to join the Bathing Ducks for a splash? Joke Postma is the wonderful designer behind these quacking friends, making both the ideal gift for adults and children alike! Each Bathing Duck is adorned accordingly with a swimming ring, cap and goggles, ready to hit the pool for their first swimming lesson.

Made from 100% organic cotton, this yarn is part of a global movement towards reducing resource consumption and conscious production methods. Alongside the benefits of organic farming on water quality, land fertility and energy use, organic cotton is an exceptionally soft fibre that is delicate for you and your little one's skin! This makes Scheepjes Organicon a particularly suitable yarn for creating garments, stuffed toys and accessories for babies and toddlers, as well as garments for adults with a sensitive touch.
