Merino wool is very fine and extremely soft to handle.

Merino is healthy & Merino insulates. Because Merino wool has the ability to insulate from heat and cold, it protects against sudden changes in temperature and lets your babies body breathe naturally. Which in today's environment where we can take our baby from the warmth of our home or car to the cold outside in an instance, it is reassuring that your baby is wrapped in Merino and eliminating sudden changes in your babies temperature.

Merino wool can also absorb up to 30% of its own weight in moisture before it becomes notably damp. This is comforting to know that if any moisture on your baby's skin will be quickly absorbed leaving your baby more comfortable in any climate.

Merino wool is naturally UV resistant. In today's environment where sun damage can easily occur, its reassuring to know that your baby is protected from the suns harsh rays when they are covered in Merino wool. Because wool is a natural fibre its own ability to protect the merino sheep from Australia's harshest sun is carried through to the consumer.

Merino wool resists static because wool is absorbs moisture, the tendency to collect static is greatly reduced. So no more electric shocks from the car or sparking from removing garments. Also wool will not cling to the body.

Merino is naturally safe. It does not have to be chemically treated to become non-flammable. While it can catch alight when exposed to direct flame, it will not easily flare up like cotton nor support a flame and can quickly be extinguished.

Merino's greatest natural ability is it will not melt, like most synthetic fibres will, onto the skin which causes the most severe burns. Merino wool, once the flame is removed, will leave a cold ash which can be easily brushed away immediately.

Because of wools fire-resistant qualities many other areas use wool for their own insurance, from Firemen to racing car drivers who are exposed to extreme cases of fire will insist on using wool.

Merino is durable and versatile!

Merino wool is naturally elastic, greater than any other fibre, making it more versatile to be stretched and turned to fit any shape or form. It can be wrapped around a baby, or tucked in under a cot mattress or thrown over a pram and yet it will naturally return to its original shape.

Merino wool not only wears longer, it also keeps its appearance and stays new-looking longer. Merino stands up to the normal stresses and strains of normal wear because it gives rather than resist friction. One of the reasons so many people hang on to a favourite old wool garment for so many years is because it retains it original appearance longer than most other fabrics.
