FAQs

What is wool terry?

Wool terry is a specific knit of merino wool that is thicker, with a soft, fluffy interior and a smooth exterior. It offers extra warmth and a plush feel against the skin, making it ideal for mid-layers.

Is merino wool suitable for babies with sensitive skin?

Yes, organic merino wool is known for its exceptional softness and is hypoallergenic, making it an excellent choice for babies with sensitive or eczema-prone skin. Unlike traditional wool, fine merino fibers do not typically cause itching.

How does merino wool regulate temperature?

Merino wool fibers have a unique structure that can trap air for insulation when it's cold and wick moisture away from the skin when it's warm. This helps maintain a stable, comfortable body temperature for the wearer.

How often should I wash the one-piece?

Merino wool is naturally odor-resistant and doesn't need frequent washing. Airing out the garment between wears can often suffice. Wash only when necessary, following the care instructions, to preserve the wool's natural properties.

Can this be worn as outerwear?

While it offers warmth, this one-piece is primarily designed as a mid-layer. For outerwear, you would typically layer this item under a waterproof or windproof suit.

What is the benefit of the zip down the leg?

The zip down the leg is a practical design feature that makes it much easier and quicker to put the one-piece on and take it off, especially during diaper changes, without having to pull the entire garment over the baby's head.

Does this garment have a built-in foot cover?

No, this one-piece features elasticated cuffs at the ankles, but it does not have built-in foot covers. This allows for flexibility with socks or booties.

Troubleshooting

Garment feels scratchy after washing.

Ensure you are using a wool-specific detergent and not fabric softener. Re-wash with wool detergent or consider a specialized wool rinse. Ensure the garment is properly rinsed.

Elasticated cuffs/ankles lose stretch.

Avoid high heat washing and tumble drying, as this can damage elastic fibers. Lay flat to dry and avoid stretching the elastic when washing.

One-piece seems too warm for indoor use.

This garment is best suited as a mid-layer. For warmer indoor environments, consider a lighter base layer made from merino wool or cotton.
