Why Merino Wool?
-
Incredible Warmth: Merino wool is a powerhouse when it comes to keeping body heat in – five times more insulating than regular wool! It’s light but stands up to the coldest days, keeping your child comfortably warm without the bulk.
-
Natural Breathability: Merino wool absorbs and releases moisture fast, wicking it away within seconds and keeping clothes fresh, even at high humidity levels.
-
Odor-Resistant & Antibacterial: Thanks to natural keratin in the wool, merino fibers are naturally antibacterial and stay fresh for longer than synthetic materials. This means no funky smells and more happy days!
-
Eco-Friendly by Nature: Merino wool is renewable, biodegradable, and kinder to the planet, helping to create a cleaner future for all.
-
Easy Care: Resistant to dirt and odor, merino wool doesn’t need frequent washing. Many merino products are even machine-washable and keep their shape beautifully, making it easy to maintain.
