About our wool
Heritage European wool, chosen specifically for babies and children

Why wool works for babies and children
Wool has advantages over cotton and synthetic fabrics that matter specifically for young children.
Gentle on sensitive skin
Organic merino wool is processed without the chlorine bleaches, synthetic dyes, and formaldehyde finishes found in many mainstream baby clothes. Certified GOTS and IVN BEST garments are tested for chemical residues, making them well-tolerated by eczema-prone and allergy-sensitive skin. Wool-silk blends are even gentler for the most sensitive babies.
Temperature regulation for sleep
Merino wool regulates body temperature naturally — it insulates when cold and breathes when warm. This is why wool sleep sacks and rompers are popular with parents worried about overheating, a concern in cooler seasons when babies are bundled up for sleep. Wool moves moisture away from the skin rather than trapping it like cotton or synthetic fabrics.
Built to last through multiple children
Quality European wool garments routinely last 5 to 10 years with proper care. Many families pass Disana snowsuits and Reiff rompers down through two or three children, and they still look like new by the end. The upfront investment is higher than fast-fashion baby clothes, but the per-wear cost drops dramatically when a single garment serves multiple kids.
Less laundry, less often
Wool is naturally odor-resistant and doesn't need washing after every wear the way cotton does. Airing out between uses handles most situations. Baby wool garments typically need washing every 3-5 wears rather than daily — meaningful time and energy savings for parents of babies who go through multiple outfits a day.

Parents' most common wool questions
Is merino wool safe for babies and newborns?
Organic merino wool is one of the safest fabrics for babies, including newborns. It's naturally breathable, temperature-regulating, and processed without chlorine bleaches, synthetic dyes, or formaldehyde. Our baby and kids wool comes from Engel, Disana, and Reiff — all GOTS or IVN BEST certified, meaning the finished garments meet strict standards for chemical residues and safety. Wool-silk blends are especially gentle for newborns and eczema-prone skin.
Will my baby overheat in wool clothing?
No. Merino wool is naturally temperature-regulating — it insulates in the cold and breathes in warmth, moving moisture away from the skin rather than trapping it. This makes wool a better choice than cotton or synthetic fabrics for preventing overheating during sleep. Wool sleep sacks and pajamas are popular specifically because they help maintain a stable body temperature through the night across a wide range of room temperatures.
How often should I wash wool baby clothes?
Far less often than cotton or synthetic baby clothes. Wool is naturally odor-resistant and doesn't need washing after every wear. Air the garment out between uses — most items only need washing every 3 to 5 wears. Spot-clean small stains and wash when items are visibly soiled or need freshening. Hand-wash in cool water with a wool-safe (enzyme-free) detergent. See our complete wool care guide →
Does wool clothing last through multiple children?
Yes. Quality European wool garments routinely last 5 to 10 years with proper care. Many families pass Disana snowsuits, Reiff rompers, and Engel base layers down through two or three children. Wool's natural resistance to wear, stains, and odor means it ages well — the fibers actually soften with use rather than breaking down. The upfront cost is higher than mass-market baby clothes, but the per-wear cost drops significantly when a single garment serves multiple kids.
Is wool itchy for babies?
Quality merino wool is not itchy for most babies. The fibers are typically 17-20 microns in diameter, compared to 30+ microns for the coarse wool that causes the itchy reputation. Organic merino is also processed without the harsh chemical finishes that can irritate skin. For babies with very sensitive skin or eczema, wool-silk blends (70% merino, 30% silk) are an even softer option and are commonly chosen for newborn bodysuits and next-to-skin wear.
What should I buy first if I'm new to wool for my baby?
Most parents start with one of three: a wool sleep sack for temperature-regulated sleep, a wool base layer (tops or leggings) for layering under other clothing, or a wool romper for all-day wear. Newborns benefit most from wool-silk bodysuits and sleep items. Toddlers benefit most from wool base layers, pants, and boiled wool outerwear for winter. Start with one item, see how you like it, then expand from there.
How do I find the right size in European baby wool?
European children's wool sizing is based on height in centimeters, not age. Size 56 fits newborns (50-56 cm), 62 fits roughly 1-3 months, 68 fits 3-6 months, and 74 fits 6-9 months. Measure your baby's height flat (heel to head) and pick the European size closest to that number. Each product page shows the brand's specific size chart with body measurements for reference.
