Merino Wool - The Baby Wool

You want to keep your little one protected by choosing clothes that are safe and comfortable?

One of the best fabrics that nature has to offer, is Merino Wool. Did you know that merino wool clothes are the best choice for your baby?

Because merino wool has many wonderful qualities:

♥ Merino wool clothes help to regulate your baby’s body temperature - providing more peaceful sleep.

Choosing a sustainable fibre such as Merino wool is one of the best ways to keep your baby comfortable and snug. Wool helps to regulate baby´s body temperature, keeping them in what is known as ”the thermal comfort zone” for longer, babies, therefore fall asleep quicker and have a deeper, more restful sleep. Its high breathability and moisture absorption properties will keep your baby comfortable and help prevent overheating while making sure they remain warm.

♥ Merino wool is also called "baby wool" because it´s super soft.

Merino wool is free from that scratchy wool feeling because it´s fibre is super fine, soft and smooth. Merino wool has crimps in the fibre and the fibres bend easily, which makes it perfect for next-to-skin, causing no skin irritation. Each strand of superfine merino wool is much finer than the average human hair, making it one of the softest fibres. Superfine merino wool is soft, light and incredibly comfortable against the skin.

♥ Suitable year-round – keeping your baby cool in the summertime and warm in the cold weather.

Despite of it´s lightness, merino is incredibly good at insulating and providing warmth. The inherent natural 3D crimp of the wool fibre traps pockets of still air, insulating skin from the cold environment and keeping your baby warmer.

But in warm environments, wool fabrics can feel up to two times cooler to touch than synthetic fabrics, because wool conducts more heat away from the skin. When it is hot, wool keeps your little one cooler, by transferring moisture vapour away from the skin and allowing it to cool down.

♥ Good for sensitive skin

Superfine Merino wool is also beneficial for babies with skin conditions such as eczema and heat rash. According to Woolmark, merino wool garments were well tolerated by participants in the study and reduced their eczema symptoms.
