The organic Merino wool is certified as organic by IMO to GOTS standards.
The use of pesticides both on the meadows and the animal is inadmissible. The animals procreate in a natural way and any kind of change on the animal such as trimming the tail or mulesing are forbidden. In short – the sheep should live a happy life!
The certified organic origin of the wool ensures that it has been produced without noxious substances like pesticides and herbicides.
Wool (and thus Merino wool) has many benefits when worn next to the skin and about the body. Find out more about the properties of wool here in our blog.
The addition of silk results in a fabric that is luxuriousy silky to the touch. Silk is a natural temperature regulator, helping the body retain heat in cold weather and excess heat is expelled in warm weather. Therefore your body maintains a natural, comfortable temperature.
Silk is hypoallergenic; it does not attract dust mites and is a natural fungal repellent.
With it's extremely smooth and soft texture silk proves to be beneficial for those with sensitive skin conditions (e.g. Eczema). Silk does not conduct static electricity.
Organic Merino wool combined with the gentle, skin-friendly properties of silk makes the ultimate fabric for the well-being of the skin and body.
Wool is naturally self-cleaning, the outer surfaces of the fibre pushing dirt down and off itself. It's naturally anti-bacterial and neutralises odours too. Silk also releases dirt easily
When you do need to wash it, hand wash in cold water as follows.
Use a detergent designed for wool and silk which protects and repenishes wool's natural oils such as one of our liquid wool shampoos in our fabric care section here.
Dilute your wool detergent in a bowl of cold water.
Add your woollens to the bowl, gently stirring and squeezing the detergent through. Rinse using cold water
To dry, gently squeeze water out and wrap your wool clothes in a towel to remove the excess water. Air-dry naturally avoiding direct heat. So, hanging on a drying rack over the bath is good, or on a clothes horse.
"This lightweight sleeping bag is one of the best sleepwear items I've bought. As my baby wriggles around too much to stay under blankets this is perfect for warm nights. So nice that it is completely non-synthetic and breathable which is very hard to find"
This was washed... had to be careful
This was worn by... My 9 month old
Sizing: Feels true to size
I'd recommend this to a friend.
"I was surprised at how thin this item seemed to be. Its lovely quality, thought, and feels warm and smooth to the touch. My 18 month old is not a good sleeper...so hard to tell how effective it is for warmth. I do seem to add more layer than I did with her previous all wool sleepsuit. However, its lightness & blend of materials means I don't have to worry too much about overheating her. Its a little big for her (she is small for 18 months) so she tends to get 'wrapped up' in it if she tosses & turns too much! I think, personally, I would put it at 1.5 or 2 togs equiviletn, rather than 2.5 normally associated with 'winter' sleepsuits."
This was washed... About to wash it...partner spilt infant paracetemol on it - arrgh!
This was worn by... My (smallish) 18 month daughter..who sleeps badly!
"I nearly didn't buy this because of the cost, but it is a beautifully made sleeping bag which has worked well at keeping my son warm overnight. However, my son is quite tall so I should perhaps have bought the larger size as already there's not much room for his legs to stretch right out. I would suggest buying a bigger size than you need to get more wear out of it. The only other downside is that it doesn't stay looking new for long due to bobbling, but I guess this is to be expected with a soft wool product."
This was washed... not needed washing yet
