Merino is The Wonder Fiber for Young Children
Merino is a natural wool fiber that has evolved to become the world’s finest fiber.
Unlike most synthetic fabrics, merino is able to breathe and control moisture. This results in a regulated body temperature for your baby and a comfortable micro-climate between body temperature and bedding. When it’s cool, the fabric naturally works overtime to keep baby warm, and when the temperature drops, the fabric insulates to keep baby warm.
Most man-made fabrics are unable to replicate the many benefits of this wonder fiber:
Breathability and moisture control
Each strand of merino has micro sized scales that absorb perspiration from the skin and release it into the air, meaning your child will never feel ‘clammy’ since moisture between the skin and garment has been removed.

It controls temperature
Merino fiber actively regulates temperature, protecting your baby from extremes by maintaining warmth when it’s cold, and cool when it’s hot.

Improved sleep routine
Studies have suggested that merino can improve the sleep patterns of babies and infants by promoting faster settling times, less crying, better feeding and greater weight gain.

Premature and low weight babies
Investigative research has also stated that premature and low birth weight could gain up to an extra 2.5oz per week while sleeping in merino.
Swaddling a newborn in merino can help to lessen the risk of overheating.

Hypoallergenic properties
Unlike regular wool, which can be scratchy, merino has a silky outer layer making it super fine and soft to the touch. Merino’s hypoallergenic properties ensure that it’s safe for babies with sensitive skins, eczema and allergies.
Due to its natural elasticity, merino is able to stretch while still retaining natural shape and preventing sagging. Merino does not require frequent laundering due to a protective layer that repels stains and odors, and can be gently machine-washed and tumble dried when needed.

Fire resistant
Merino contains natural fire retardants and presents a much lower fire risk than most manmade and synthetic fabrics. When merino is exposed to fire, it doesn’t melt to the skin like most manmade fabrics and has the ability to self–extinguish once the source of the flame has been removed.
