Feedback Very popular! Mums have told us that their babies and children sleep well in their wool PJs, and we have certainly found so ourselves. You may find the same - we expect so! Because they are wool terry, though, they don't run and keep on providing wonderful, warm nightwear.
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.
"Bought this as our old Victorian terrace is cold, and my baby isn’t a great sleeper. Bought this and immediately noticed an improvement in her sleep. My other half asked me to buy another one after a couple of weeks - we noticed we always had a bad night’s sleep when this wasn’t on! We did get a cosilana for the next purchase as it was slightly cheaper. Both are lovely and have the same effect on sleep, but this Engel one is larger so will last longer."
