Products & Materials
What does Apple & Loom make?
Handcrafted, small-batch textiles for little ones: waffle cotton cover-ups, two-piece cotton loungewear sets, reversible blankets, reversible quilts, and fitted bedsheets.
What are your products made of?
100% premium cotton — always. Our cover-ups are a breathable waffle weave, our blankets are feather-light mulmul (muslin) cotton, our quilts are layered pure cotton, and our fitted sheets are 220 TC percale cotton. Finishing details include skin-safe dyes, tagless designs, and natural coconut-shell buttons.
Are your pieces really handmade?
Yes. Everything is made in small batches by skilled artisans, and our blankets, quilts, bedsheets and cover-ups are hand block-printed — each design is carved into a wooden block and pressed by hand, one piece at a time.
Why do the colors or prints vary slightly from the photos?
Because each piece is block-printed by hand, small variations in print and color are natural — the mark of a one-of-a-kind, handmade item, not a flaw. And since screens and lighting differ, the exact shade you see online may vary slightly from the piece in your hands.
Sizing & Fit
What sizes do you offer?
- Loungewear sets: 2T–6T

How do I choose the right size?
Each product page has a size guide. If you're between sizes or unsure, email us at support@appleandloom.com— we're happy to help you find the right fit.
Will my pieces shrink?
Because they're 100% pure cotton, expect a gentle, natural shrinkage of about 2–4% after the first wash. We tailor our pieces generously to allow for it. (Our waffle cover-ups also develop a soft “bloom,” or waffle texture, after washing — that's normal and intended).
The matching set collection hold their fit without shrinking.

Safety & Care
Are your products gentle on sensitive skin?
Yes — that's the whole reason we started. We use soft, breathable cotton, skin-safe dyes, and smooth, scratch-free seams.
Is the matching-set sleepwear?
No. Our matching sets and cover-ups are everyday apparel — they are not intended, tested, or certified as children's sleepwear.
Can I use the blankets and quilts in a crib?
Following AAP safe-sleep guidance, please keep loose bedding — blankets and quilts — out of the crib for babies under 12 months. They're perfect for tummy time, strollers, naps, and supervised snuggles.
How do I care for my pieces?
Machine wash cold, turn inside out to protect the illustrations, no bleach, and tumble dry low or line dry. A cool iron on the reverse side keeps everything looking its best.
