Raw cotton, hand-loomed. Nothing added.
GOTS-certified organic cotton, hand-loomed in Vietnam and left exactly as it came off the plant. No dye. No bleach. No softener. The cream in the cloth is the cotton's own.

Most cloth sold for newborns has been through a great deal before it reaches the skin. Bleach to whiten it. Dye to colour it. Resin to keep it flat in the box. Softener so that a short, coarse fibre can pass for a long, fine one.
We left all of it out.
What remains is organic cotton, woven by hand on a wooden loom, in the pale cream it grew in. It creases. It softens with every wash. It smells of nothing at all.
One hundred centimetres square. Loose enough to wrap a newborn, large enough to become the blanket they drag to school. Single-layer muslin, hand-loomed, so it moves air rather than trapping it.
The Buddy Blanket
A small knotted comforter in the same undyed cloth. Light enough to be carried, plain enough to be loved into shape. It will be lost, found, washed, and loved again.
