I’m planning to make a crochet cord tie for baby’s umbilical cord. Seen them made with both cotton embroidery thread and wool (I’d use 100% pure wool). What do people think would be best?

Cotton is the preference for most NHS trusts i believe, can make it “sterile” by freezing for three days in a little food bag

That's so cute, I'd not heard if this before, but anything to make it more appealing. The cords freak me out a little! Are these instead of the plastic clips that the hospital put on??x

yes they are, read they get a little less in the way than the plastic clips. There are videos on YouTube on how to do them, you can do an fairly plain one or do one with a leaf or a heart on the end for example x

I regret I didn’t think of that before my little girl arrived, the cord really freaked me out lol
