These standards are so high that even oils that lubricate knitting machines have to be analysed. With Engel, you can be assured that their dyes are baby-safe, eco-safe and that all cotton threads and finishes are natural too. All Engel's poppers are nickel-free.
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 made from 100% organic Merino wool.
Wool has many benefits when worn next to the skin and about the body.
The Merino wool fibre specifically 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.
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.

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.

"They come up big - but in a good way. I’m pretty sure they will fit my daughter for this winter and next. I bought them for her because she won’t sleep under blankets. They are too warm for her in anything but cold weather - but on chilly nights they’re brilliant and cosy. And they kept her warm when we went camping."

"Lovely warm pyjamas and comfortable clothes for the day at home. Almost too warm for our modern bungalow but they come into their own when the weather gets very chilly or when we are camping. Hard wearing and lasted my son for ages now."
