FAQs
What makes merino wool suitable for babies?
Merino wool is exceptionally soft, breathable, and naturally thermoregulating, meaning it keeps babies warm in the cold and cool in the heat. It is also naturally moisture-wicking and gentle on sensitive skin.
How do I prevent my merino wool suit from shrinking?
Always wash on a cold wool cycle (30-40°C) with a wool-specific detergent. Avoid high heat in the washing machine and dryer. Laying flat to dry is recommended.
Can the fold-over feet and mittens be removed?
No, they are integrated into the suit and cannot be removed. They are designed to be folded over for warmth or folded back for freedom of movement.
What does it mean that the wool may fray over time?
As this garment is made from pure, unblended wool, natural fibers can sometimes work loose with friction from wear and washing, leading to a slightly fuzzy or frayed appearance. This is normal and a sign of the natural material, not a defect.
Is this suit suitable for sleep?
Yes, the natural breathability of merino wool makes it suitable for sleep, helping to regulate body temperature throughout the night. However, always ensure the baby is dressed appropriately for the room temperature.
What is the best way to clean this one-piece?
Machine wash inside out on a wool program (30-40°C) with a wool detergent. Avoid fabric softener and harsh detergents. Lay flat to dry.
What is the difference between this and a standard fleece suit?
Unlike synthetic fleece, merino wool is a natural fiber that offers superior breathability, moisture-wicking properties, and thermoregulation. It's also naturally odor-resistant and gentler on skin. Synthetic fleece can trap moisture and may not regulate temperature as effectively.
Troubleshooting
Suit appears to be pilling or fraying.
This is a natural characteristic of 100% merino wool and does not impact the garment's warmth or functionality. Follow care instructions to minimize further fraying.
Garment loses shape after washing.
Ensure you are using a wool-specific detergent and the correct wool wash cycle on your machine. Lay flat to dry rather than hanging, which can stretch the fabric.
Child feels too warm.
Merino wool is breathable, but if your child is overly warm, consider layering thinner items underneath or removing a layer. Ensure the room or outdoor temperature is suitable for the garment.
