Fire Safety
This product complies with the Product Safety Standard (Children’s Nightwear and Limited Daywear Having Reduced Fire Hazard) Regulations 2016 and Safety Standard AS/NZS 1249:2014 (Children's Nightwear and Limited Daywear having Reduced Fire Hazard).
Washing & Care
Caring for merino is easy, but important to get right!
Washing
Machine or hand wash at 40°C max (low spin speed for blankets)
Use a wool-approved liquid detergent
Close any zips before washing
Turn the garment inside out to reduce pilling
Place in a delicates wash bag if you have one
Avoid using laundry powder, soaking, bleaching, wringing, dry cleaning, or stain removers, as these practices can accelerate the biodegradation of Merino, causing holes.
Drying
We recommend air-drying merino. Avoid using a tumble dryer, as it can reduce the fabric's soft feel and may cause shrinkage.
Additionally, keep it out of direct sunlight to prevent any fading or discolouration.
Storing
Storing merino correctly is important to keep it safe from moths, mould, dust, and general wear and tear. Vacuum closets/drawers regularly and store with Cedar Moth Balls.
Stain removal
Never soak or bleach merino or use stain removal sprays- even if you develop a stain.
To remove stains on merino, carefully dab the area with a cloth covered in a wool-approved detergent. Follow up by washing your merino as usual and the stain should come out.
Odour removal
Merino wool's moisture-wicking properties makes it naturally odour-resistant.
Odours often vanish on their own, but if needed, air out by hanging, lay flat on a towel to rest, or hang in a steamy bathroom to refresh. The less your merino item is washed the longer it will last.

Size Guide
ABOUT THE FABRIC
Merino sheep produce the finest and softest wool in the world, its benefits are so great that no other fibre- natural or man-made, can match it.
We use extra fine 100% merino wool, it's nearly four times finer than the average human hair. This means it's incredibly soft against the skin and never itchy. Merino is inherently breathable and temperature regulating, keeping babies warm in cold temperatures and cooler in warm temperatures, this makes it a great year-round daily choice as well as being perfect for sleeping in. It also wicks excess moisture away from the skin, is hypoallergenic, and odour resistant, keeping skin comfortable and dry day and night. Merino wool is also an environmentally responsible choice, being a natural, renewable, and biodegradable fibre.
Our merino is Woolmark certified
The Woolmark logo shows we meet their strict performance standards for fibre content, colour fastness to light and liquid, durability, and laundry testing. Woolmark certification ensures high quality garments that are 100% natural, renewable and biodegradable, with a traceable supply chain.
Our merino is OEKO-TEX certified
The OEKO-TEX 100 Standard is a comprehensive set of criteria designed to ensure that textile products are free from harmful substances. It covers every stage of production, from raw materials to finished garments, and sets limits on the use of chemicals that could potentially pose risks to human health.
High quality merino products,
Excellent customer service, I ordered the wrong size and they let me swap but the beanies had gone on sale since I had purchased so I was able to get the smaller size at the lower price and purchase some mittens as well.

We recently purchased several items (bodysuit, sleepsuit, merino wrap, mittens, and booties hat and mittens set) for our baby due this month and we are super happy with them. My husband loves the merino wrap - it is his favourite baby item we have! Great service, timely delivery and excellent quality - thanks so much

Perfect beanie fro little kids and babies. Miss mini owns a few and loves them, not too hot but still a good layer. Always a welcome gift as well, nice colour range too.
