We are thrilled at unexpectedly being included in The Story Exchange’s Mother’s Day Gift Guide, 2013.

Us mothers may remember bringing our newborns home from the hospital, in step to the tune of Grandma (or Great-Grandma) telling us to always keep the baby’s head covered! Well, I agreed with that philosophy (except in the summer when it was sweltering outside). To that end, knit hats are a must! They offer warmth, comfort, style, and the knowledge that nothing harmful goes into their production…no chemicals or agents that can be absorbed into a fragile newborn’s delicate skin. Elaine’s product offering includes: baby hats, beanies, ruffle hats, stocking caps, and pom-pom hats, for ages birth – 2 years. She chooses bright, vibrant yarns, making her products stand out from the traditional baby blue and baby pink hues. They are all hand-knit from tweed, acrylic, or 80% acrylic / 20% wool blends, and are available in several color / stripe combinations. These are a perfect addition to any baby offering, appealing to shoppers for new baby gifts, baby showers, or baby’s birthday. Register online as a wholesale buyer, and receive free access to Elaine’s wholesale line sheet.
