          3 REASONS WHY YOUR CHILD NEEDS A MERINO TOP

          No wet & cold feeling

          merino absorbs moisture


          One of the unique features of merino wool is that it can absorb up to 30% of its weight in moisture. It absorbs perspiration from the skin and releases it into the air. Synthetic fibers do not have this ability, moisture is trapped next to the baby's skin resulting in a clammy atmosphere.

          Regulates their temperature so they are never too hot or too cold


          Kids and newborns especially are not able to regulate their body temperature and lose heat faster than adults. A layer of merino clothing next to their skin ensures that when the temperature falls the merino layer will capture air and insulate the child and when the temperature rises it will release excess body heat creating the perfect micro-climate around the child's body.

          Known for its luxurious softness



          Unlike regular wool our merino wool is silky soft against the skin. This is because each wool fibre is 1/10th the diameter of normal sheep's fibres and softly bends against the skin instead of an itchy scratch. 

          All our merino is from New Zealand, known for having the world's best merino.

          CONTENT BABY


          A warm baby is a content and happy baby. Merino is the perfect fibre for your little bubbas to wear all day and night long. A merino bodysuit is great for providing extra warmth at night underneath a sleeping gown. Merino wool fibres as nature's wonder fibre have the capability of acting as insulators which means that your baby will always be at the right temperature - never too cold or too hot.

          Merino Wool is Good for the Skin


          A new study in the United States has confirmed that wearing superfine Merino wool helps ease the symptoms of eczema and improves the wearer’s quality of life.

          A Few More Facts:

          Yale researchers studying the rhinovirus — the common cold virus — have found a link between temperature and our body’s ability to fight a cold. The colder we get, the easier it is for the rhinovirus to trounce us into sniffling, sneezing defeat.
