OK, I'm going to make this bunting for the Murrita, silly as it may seem. I had initially settled on "Shine" from KnitPicks, as it is washable cotton-blend yarn in good colors for corn ("Grass" and "Butter"). But then Liz posted that she wanted to dress the baby warmly, in general, as she expected to have the baby at hockey quite a bit.
So then I was back to wool. But KnitPicks' "Wool of the Andes" is only said to have "reasonable softness"; I kind of want this to be unbelievably soft!
In my recent shipment from Little Knits, I got two balls of laceweight baby alpaca. OMG, is that stuff soft.
But... what about washing? Should I just assume a bunting doesn't need washing that often and relegate Liz & Andrea to washing it in cold water on gentle and having to flat-dry it? Or should I go with washable, as babies do spit up?
What to do?

From reading Liz and Andrea's blogs, go washable. (Really I love you guys!)
I just looked at the yarns, I'm still saying go with Shine. Better colours for the project IMO.
