How Merino Wool Keeps Your Baby Cosy and Comfortable Year-Round
As summer approaches, you might be thinking about packing away your baby’s Merino wool clothing, accessories, and blankets. But before you do, here are a few reasons why Merino wool is a year-round staple.
Temperature Regulation: Merino wool acts as a natural insulator so in winter, it traps warm air close to the body keeping your little one cosy and warm, and in summer, its breathability and moisture-wicking properties help cool the skin by pulling the heat away and releasing it into the air.
Moisture-Wicking Magic: Children are often on the move, whether they’re crawling around indoors or running outside in the sun. Merino wool’s ability to moisture-wick ensures that they stay dry and comfortable. Merino wool can absorb up to 30% of its weight in moisture without feeling wet. This is especially beneficial for babies and toddlers who are not able to tell you when they’re uncomfortable.
Odour- Resistant and Easy to Care For: Merino wool naturally resists odours by preventing the growth of bacteria, even after hours of wear. This is perfect for active kids and means the wool will stay fresh longer and requires fewer washes.
When it comes to washing Merino wool, you’ll be pleased to know that it is much easier than you think. If you are wondering how to care for your baby’s Merino wool items, check out our blog on How to Care for Your Merino Wool.
Perfect for Layering: Merino wool’s excellent insulation and breathability makes it ideal for layering in the transeasonal period where the weather hasn’t quite settled yet. A lightweight merino will keep your child warm without the bulk, while additional layers can be added for extra warmth in the chilly mornings or cooler evenings.
Merino wool is a versatile, natural fabric that ensures your child is comfortable all year long. It’s ability to adapt to different temperatures, wick moisture away from the skin, and even stay odour-free after multiple wears makes it an essential part of your child’s wardrobe – not only in the winter, but in summer, too. So, consider keeping your little one’s Merino wool items in their wardrobe all year long.
