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.
"Great jumper, sizing was ample which I prefer and I like longevity in a jumper especially a childrens one. Warm and no complaints of itchiness which is great as children can complain about wool being itchy. Washed well and has lasted us over a year we have two of these jumpers and they will be doing our third winter this year!"
This was washed... washed fine
This was worn by... My foraging 7 year old but I bought them when she was 5 and they still fit
Sizing: A little generous
I'd recommend this to a friend.
"This a great jumper. I have bought many over the years for all my grand children. It wears very well. It is light , yet warm and washes very well. I can highly recommend it"
This was worn by... All my grandchildren aged between 6 months and 6 years

"Very happy with yet another Disana product! My 11 year old daughter wears this as a uniform sweater to school. I would buy the next size up as well but I think I purchased the largest size offered 134/140 cm."
This was worn by... 11 year old school girl

This was worn by... My active 7 year old girl who doesn't like itchy jumpers.
"I bought this for my 8-yr old daughter in the pink/fuschia colour and she says that it is comfortable, doesn't itch (and she is very fussy in this respect) and pretty. She is of medium height/build and we initially bought the 8-10 yrs but it was huge so we changed to the 6-8 years, which is a much better fit (which is why I'm only giving 4 stars instead of 5)."
Sizing: Too big
