Disana's GOTS certified organic standard is so high that even oils that lubricate knitting machines have to be analysed. Disana's whole garment (not just the yarn) is certified as organic, so that you can be assured that their dyes are baby-safe, eco-safe and that all cotton threads and finishes are natural too.
All certified organic wool comes from sheep which have been farmed organically and with high animal welfare standards. At Cambridge Baby we always make sure that no wool comes from farms which practise mulesing.
Please note that under EU labelling regulations, stating the type of wool is not allowed, only a statement of "100% wool" or "new wool" is allowed. However, this garment is organic Merino wool.
The Merino wool fibre is very fine, soft and springy and is not itchy at all to most skins. The Merino sheep usually thrives in mountainous areas at high altitudes and its wool is naturally brilliant at keeping the body comfortable at a wide range of temperatures. Wool (and thus Merino wool) has many benefits.
Merino wool is the wool of choice for baby and children's clothes, as well as for sportswear, because it's finer than most other wools. It's naturally springy (which makes it softer) and has a tight crimp, allowing it to trap more air, making clothing lighter as well as softer for the same excellent insulation.
Merino wool has also been proven to absorb UV across the whole range of the spectrum, giving excellent lightweight sun protection in the summer too.
"I’ve bought two of these so far and they’re great. Perfect for layering, or even wearing on their own with a long sleeve vest and jumper underneath. They’re brilliantly stretchy and generously sized so you’ll get a lot of wear from them. You may need to fold them up at the ankle at first as they’re also generously long. But that’s fine. We found it hard to find clothes that fit our baby/toddler sometimes as she is very tall and big for her age (over the 100th centile if that helps anyone else with sizing) more like a baby at least 6/8 months older than her age. We’ve not needed to wash ours as even though they’ve had lots of wear they don’t seem to get dirty easily. Definitely recommended, but especially if you have a baby on the larger side."

"I love the fabric and quality. I put my daughter in them as her outer warm layer when we go outside. I like that it comes up high on her tummy/chest. I got the red and it’s a great colour."

"My oldest daughter bought a pair of these for her sister’s baby and she likes them so much that I purchased another pair in the next size for him. They’re warm, cosy and substantial whilst being really comfy and easy to put on and pair with tops."

"My granddaughter’s nursery have said they would like all the children dressed in merino as they spend so much time outside. So I bought these dungarees which look and feel wonderful. I’m very pleased to have discovered Cambridge Baby"

"To keep warm and snuggly in cold weather. They are so well made, the last and last. He crawled in them as a baby and rough and tumbled in them as a toddler. As long as you de nibble occasionally they look as good as new."
