What types of yarns are available?

Most Carpet today is made of these four fibers: Nylon, Polyester, Polypropylene or Wool.

Nylon is the most common fiber because of its Durability, Resiliency and Soil resistance.

Polyester is a Soft fiber, usually made from Recycled plastics, that provides great color clarity. It is Stain and Fade resistant and less expensive than Nylon.

Polypropylene, also known as olefin, is popular due to its Stain, Fade and Moisture resistance as well as its low cost.

Wool, the original Carpet fiber, is more expensive and less Stain-resistant than the newer synthetics, however the beauty and Durability of Wool makes it a desirable choice.

How can I prevent heat rash?

Keep your baby comfortably cool by dressing him in loose-fitting, lightweight clothing, especially in Warm, Humid weather. Natural fabrics such as Cotton are absorbent and will allow him to sweat more efficiently than synthetics. Avoid plastic pants and plastic diaper liners.

A light dusting of cornstarch may help prevent Heat rash in your baby's creases, but avoid using Talcum Powder, which is dangerous for your baby to Breathe.

When holding your baby, try not to wear Abrasive fabrics, like Wool, that might irritate his skin.

On a scorching day, keep your baby inside or look for cool, shady, or breezy places to sit and play outside. Make sure he's well hydrated by Breastfeeding or formula-feeding often.

Check your child regularly to see if he's overheating. If you aren't sure, touch his skin. If it's Damp and Hot, he's too Warm.
