FAQs
What makes merino wool suitable for babies?
Merino wool is incredibly soft, fine, breathable, and naturally temperature-regulating, making it ideal for sensitive baby skin. It's also hypoallergenic and naturally resists odor and stains.
How often should I wash the blanket?
Merino wool is naturally odor-resistant and antibacterial, so frequent washing is often unnecessary. Spot clean spills as they happen and air the blanket out regularly. Hand wash only when genuinely needed, following the care instructions.
Can I use this blanket in a car seat or stroller?
Yes, the blanket is suitable for use in car seats and strollers. Its size and temperature-regulating properties make it a comfortable layering option for travel.
What are the dimensions of the blanket?
The blanket measures approximately 75cm in width and 100cm in length.
Is the alphabet design suitable for boys and girls?
Yes, the alphabet design is in signature neutral tones, making it a versatile and timeless choice for any baby regardless of gender.
How is the blanket packaged?
The blanket is presented 'gift-ready' in a reusable cotton dust bag, making it an excellent choice for gifting.
What does 'temperature regulating' mean for a baby blanket?
Temperature regulating means the wool fibers can help keep a baby warm when it's cold by trapping body heat, and they can help keep a baby cool when it's warm by wicking away moisture from the skin.
Troubleshooting
Blanket feels stiff after washing
This can sometimes happen with wool. Ensure you used a wool-specific detergent and rinse thoroughly. Reshape carefully while damp and allow to air dry completely. Avoid high heat.
Minor stain persists
For stubborn stains on merino wool, try a specialized wool stain remover or consult a professional wool cleaner. Avoid harsh bleaching agents.
Pilling occurs
Some pilling is natural with merino wool, especially with friction. You can gently remove pills with a wool comb or electric fabric shaver designed for delicate fabrics. Frequent washing can exacerbate this.
