Why wool?
Being a natural fibre, wool is more breathable than synthetic fibres, and is also better at regulating temperature. Babies are not able to regulate their body temperatures yet, so choosing a material with natural insulation that can help them stay cool in hot weather and warm in cold weather is a gamechanger for your little one’s comfort while they sleep. Natural fibres are also free of chemicals, which is a win for your child’s sensitive skin.
Wool is the most absorbent natural fibre in common use. It can contain up to 30% of moisture before feeling wet while synthetics can only absorb around 4%. Wool is naturally hypoallergenic and resistant to dust mites.

Wash & Care
Keep in mind that wool fiber has a distinct scent, due in part to natural wax and oils. Lanolin oil is found naturally in sheep wool and may be noticeable. Airing out the blanket outside for a few days can reduce the scent.
Don't wash often - wool bedding needs very little cleaning so avoid doing so to maintain the same comfort properties. Merino wool is antibacterial due to the natural substance lanolin. This means that bacteria do not adhere to the wool.
In case you need to wash it:
Hand-warm (30˚C) preferably hand wash or, if necessary, machine wash on wool cycle. Wash separately. Use an approved wool detergent. Rinse well. Reduced spin. Do not bleach or tumble dry. Do not iron. Dry flat, not in direct sunlight.
