Merino wool fleece clothing for babies and children
Wool fleece is a high-quality, natural material that is characterised by its good thermal insulation and softness. Made from merino sheep's wool from controlled organic animal husbandry, it combines the advantages of wool with the benefits of modern fleece technology. Unlike synthetic fleece, which is often made from polyester, wool fleece is biodegradable and sustainable. The material is ideal for outdoor clothing as it is not only warm but also breathable. This property ensures that excess moisture is wicked away to the outside while body heat is retained. Another advantage of wool fleece is its odour neutrality. Wool has natural antibacterial properties that minimise unpleasant odours.
The right care
Wool fleece should be washed as infrequently as possible in order to preserve the natural properties of the wool. A simple airing is often enough to remove odours. If washing is necessary, it should be done at low temperatures in the wool wash cycle or by hand with lukewarm water. It is important not to wring, rub or spin-dry the material, as this will cause the wool to become matted. With the right care, wool fleece is durable and retains its pleasant wearing properties.
