If you are searching for yarn to make a soft, cuddly baby blanket in France – then Phildar Phil Douce is the perfect choice!
Something about having a baby puts me in the mood to create. I decided I MUST crochet her blankets, lots and lots of baby blankets. I came across the brand Phildar online and they seemed to have a good reputation.
Since the closest Phildar store is an hour away, I had to cross my fingers and place an order online without seeing the yarn first in person.
It arrived only a few days after placing the order and I was very pleasantly surprised. The Phil Douce is the softest yarn I have ever rubbed against my face. I love it!! I cannot stop touching it and thinking of how cuddly it will be for my little princess. The texture of it sort of resembles a very fluffy towel, but much softer than a towel. The color I used is Fuchsia, which is brighter and much more beautiful than I was able to capture in these photos.
It is a little pricey at 4.95 euros for 50g, or 86 – 93 meters. So far I have used 3 balls for my blanket and should only need 1 more to complete it. The website offers free shipping for orders above a certain amount. There is a current discount on one of the colors for 1.95 euros – but it was a rusty brown color and not fitting for a baby girl.
Seeing that I will have the softest, cuddliest baby blanket ever for about 20 euros – I think it was a very good deal!

I FOUND AN AWESOME HEADBAND/EAR WARMER IN THE PHILDAR N 58 ACCESSORIES CATALOGUE. IT IS CALLED THE BANDEAU AVEC GROS NOEUD. I CANNOT FIND THE BOOK TO BUY AND I CANNOT FIND THE PATTERN TO PURCHASE ANYWHERE. HAVE ANY IDEAS? MANY THANKS
