merino wool
-
comfort & softness
merino sheep have some of the finest and softest wools of any sheep, so it is very gentle on the skin. It has a comfortable fit due to natural elasticity and ultra fine spun yarn.
-
moisture & temperature control
merino fibres actively regulate temperature which is especially important for newborns as their bodies are not able to regulate their temperature yet. The fibre controls moisture as it absorbs perspiration from the skin and releases it into the air.

easy to care
merino fibres have a natural protective outer layer that helps prevent stains from being absorbed, making it perfect to be worn by your messy little ones. Because merino resists odour, bacteria and stains, you don’t need to wash it as often or as rigorously as synthetics.
how to care
Fewer washes not only benefit the environment but also preserve your clothing. Wool, with its natural fat content called "lanolin," is water and dirt repellent, making frequent washes unnecessary. Wash your wool garments only when absolutely necessary. When you do, keep a few important points in mind:
The Right Temperature:
Wash your wool garments in cold to lukewarm water (no more than 20 degrees Celsius). Do not wring the clothing or rub the surface.
The Right Spin Speed:
If your washing machine has a hand wash program that you can manually set, choose the lowest spin speed, typically between 400-600 revolutions per minute. If this setting is not available, it is better to wash by hand.
The Right Detergent:
With each wash, wool loses some of its valuable natural fat content, "lanolin." Therefore, use a detergent with re-fattening ingredients to keep your clothing soft and durable.
Proper Drying:
Never spin dry wool, as it can distort the shape of your garments. Additionally, never put wool in the dryer. Do not hang wool clothing to dry; instead, let it dry flat. Use a towel or simply your drying rack as a base.
Proper Ironing:
It is crucial to avoid high temperatures, as they can damage the wool fibers and cause felting. The gentlest method is to steam your wool garments at a low temperature (around 80 degrees Celsius). A steamer is ideal for this purpose. If you don't have a steamer, set your iron to the lowest temperature (around 80 degrees Celsius), place a clean towel between your wool garment and the iron, and iron gently without applying pressure.
Do Not Bleach:
Do not use bleach on your wool items and only use detergents without bleach.
