Why Natural Merino Wool?
Thermal Magic: Keeps children warm or cool as needed.
Stay Dry: Naturally wicks moisture on active days.
Soft on Skin: Gentle on sensitive skin, at every age.
Less Washing: Wool cleans itself, so airing is usually enough between washes.

Care Instructions
- Hand wash or machine wash at a max. temperature of 30°C on a gentle wool cycle
- When washing by hand, do not wring. Instead, press into a towel to remove excess water or machine spin at 400 rpm
- Shape while damp and lay flat to dry
- Do not tumble dry or bleach
- We recommend airing wool garments outside to refresh them. It's unnecessary to wash after every use.
- Use an enzyme-free wool detergent when washing your Natural Woollies, and let them rest between uses
- Pure merino rib without elastane relaxes a little with wear and regains its shape in the wash
