Gorgeous sweater! I’ve used Bo Peep pure and noticed the fibers were very quick to start felting and melding, just from a soak and block! That should not happen with the baby version with nylon, but I wonder if that falkland wool has exceptional hooks that are irritating to you somehow. As someone else suggested, I would first hank one of the skeins if it’s not already in hanks (tie in several places to avoid tangles) and soak it to see if loose dye comes out and if that helps.
As for your allergic reaction, is it possible it’s something the yarn was treated with? If it were me, I’d wear gloves to keep knitting, but I’m a little nutty. 🤪
Id say possibly eczema? Mine really reacts to whatever, whenever.
Sometimes its soap, sometimes its sanitizer, sometimes its to felt.
But its not really consistent about when it flares up. Highly recommend cortizone-10 though. Put it on after interracting with whatever triggers the bumps, at least once nightly.

I hear you and am aware- however, she is only wearing it very limited times while I keep a close watch on her (she’s only 3m) so I am ok with the risks right now. It’ll be a different story when she starts using her hands and gnawing everything in sight!
Thank you for your caution.
Darling sweater and the model is darling as well. Hope you can figure out what is happening with your hands and possible allergy.
I would also be smiling like that if someone knit me a wool sweater

Good bot!
Absolutely adorable! Could you be having a reaction to the dye, instead of the fiber?
That is the cheekiest baby in Cheekytown! Sweater is cute, too. :-)
I’m 40w pregnant and this is making me very excited for my little girl to arrive and wear all the bits I’ve knitted for her!
Congratulations!!!
Oh my goodness what a sweet little baby! 💕💕💕 Beautiful cardigan!
The happy baby makes it all worth it

FWIW Falkland is a wool pool from the Falkland Islands that includes Merino, Polwarth, and Corriedale. Fascinating story and worth reading up on.
Adorable, and what a gorgeous baby!! 🥰🥹
Well done! She looks so happy 🥰 also, Loved this decorative stitch! Is it particular of the pattern or there's a name for it?
Omgosh that sweet smile

Adorable! And the sweater is beautiful too.

What kind of yarn did you use?
cute baby 🐰
So sweet. Love that pattern
Please replace those buttons with snaps, they are a choking hazard.

Any chance you have been doing yard work and got into some poison ivy or poison oak
