The Benefits of Merino Wool for Children’s Clothing, Accessories and Blankets

At Echidna Kids, our commitment to quality and sustainability is at the core of everything we create. All our wool is ethically grown and sourced from our own Merino flock, with the purpose of crafting beautifully soft, durable and natural garments for children. We prioritise safety and quality, ensuring that each product is gentle on sensitive skin and free from harmful chemicals.

When it comes to your little ones, comfort, safety and practicality are essential. Merino wool is the perfect choice for children’s clothing, accessories and blankets, offering a unique blend of qualities that make it ideal for your little ones.

Merino wool has many benefits, enhancing the quality of our products:

  • Sustainable Choice: Merino wool is 100% natural, renewable and biodegradable fibre, which makes it a sustainable choice that reduces environmental impact.
  • Superior Softness: Merino wool is known for its superior softness. Unlike traditional wool, which can be itchy, Merino wool fibre is finer than human hair and incredible gentle, making it perfect for sensitive skin. This is especially important for children, who can be prone to irritation and discomfort. Our Merino wool Scarfs and Beanies are gentle and soft on your little one’s skin.
  • Natural Temperature Regulation: One of the standout features of Merino wool is its ability to regulate the body temperature. It helps keep babies and children warm in cold weather and cool in warmer conditions, preventing overheating and keeps your little ones comfortable in various climates. Our Merino wool Blankets are a perfect choice for your little ones nursery keeping them at an ideal temperature for sleep.
  • Stay Dry and Comfy: Merino wool can absorb up to 35% of its own weight in water and still feel dry to touch.
  • Allergy-Friendly: Merino wool is naturally hypoallergenic, it resists mould, mildew, dust mites and germs, so it is perfect for kids with allergies and sensitive skin.
  • Durability: Children’s clothing needs to withstand a lot of wear and tear. Merino wool is surprisingly durable despite its softness. It also has a secret power – natural elasticity – which means it retains its shape and bounces back, keeping your clothes looking new even after multiple washes.
  • Odour Resistance: Merino has natural antibacterial properties that resist odours, making it a perfect material for children’s clothing. It helps keep your active children fresher for longer and reduces the need for frequent washing – a win-win for parents.
