Everyone loves Chenille….. even babies! Why not bring the warmest and thoughtful gift on the list, a personalized Stefan’s Chenille baby blanket. We have festive colors for you to choose from and all the satin is in winter white (some may call it ivory). Don’t forget that there are Christmas images and stuffed animals to choose from as well.
If you enjoy a super (almost silky) soft chenille blanket, then you know what we’re talking about here. This 100% cotton chenille blankie is super-duper cuddly and warm — just like the throw you wrap yourself up in on the couch. Though, we do warn you – moms may be tempted to use for themselves!

I recently reviewed a natural products industry proposal for standards for “organic” cotton and was dismayed to see the heavy-handed corporate assault on what should be a cut and dried issue: the naturalness of organic cotton and wool.
The creation of natural and organic textiles is really a very basic concept, not unlike the process of growing, harvesting and preparing organic foods. Take organic cotton for example. The cotton should be grown and harvested and processed without harmful chemicals in accordance with the principles of organic agriculture and organic food preparation. Wool from sheep or other animals can be “harvested” from animals that are free-range, organically-raised and humanely sheared. Simple.
For millions of years humans experimented with the colors from plants that grew around them and painted their bodies and textiles with natural pigments. Today, many craftspeople still practice natural dyeing techniques with beautiful and unique results.
There are hundreds of plants that can be grown easily, organically and sustainably to produce a wide range of lovely colorings.
