Give Your Baby the Womb Environment They Remember

When providing the best sleeping environment for newborns, choosing a sheep's wool blanket is optimal. The unique properties of sheep's wool make it the perfect material for promoting comfort, health, and overall well-being for babies.

Sheep's wool is known for its natural resistance to bacteria, mould, and fungus. This means that when your baby sleeps on a wool blanket, you can rest assured that they are sleeping in a clean, hygienic environment. Wool's ability to repel these harmful microorganisms helps to prevent skin irritations and allergies, keeping your baby's delicate skin healthy and protected.

Furthermore, sheep's wool has excellent temperature-regulating properties. It can help keep your baby warm in cold weather and cool in warm weather. This is because wool can absorb and release moisture, allowing your baby to maintain a comfortable body temperature throughout the night. This is especially beneficial for newborns, as they cannot yet regulate their body temperature effectively.

Another advantage of sleeping in sheep's wool is its softness and cushioning. Wool fibres are incredibly soft and gentle, providing your baby with a cozy and comfortable sleeping surface. This can help promote better sleep quality and reduce the risk of discomfort or restlessness during the night.

Additionally, sheep's wool is a sustainable and eco-friendly choice. It is a renewable resource that can be sheared from sheep without harming the animals. By choosing a wool blanket for your baby, you are making a conscious decision to support sustainable practices and reduce your environmental impact.

In conclusion, sleeping in sheep's wool is nourishing and the best choice for newborns. Its natural resistance to bacteria, mould, and fungus, temperature-regulating properties, softness, and sustainability make it the ideal material for creating a comfortable, healthy, and safe sleeping environment for your baby. Invest in a wool blanket today and give your baby the gift of restful, nurturing sleep.

General care:

Expect a small amount of shedding when the product is new, as it may release some loose fibres. You can machine air-fluff (no heat) for 5 minutes to remove excess fibres. Keep away from high heat and direct sunlight.

Over time and with more use, wool fibres will naturally bind together, creating a more ‘clumped’ look. This change in the look does not affect the performance of the wool. You will still receive all of the natural and beautiful benefits. If you prefer a fluffier look, you can brush the product with a metal brush after laundering.

With care, your wool products will last many, many years.

Washing instructions:

Machine washable on delicate setting in cool/lukewarm water (up to 70°C) with a wool soap containing lanolin, such as Eucalan. Air drying is recommended. You may use a dryer WITHOUT HEAT to fluff your product. Remove from dryer before it dries completely (up to 85%). The excess moisture will not be felt and will quickly disperse into the air.

Wool is anti-microbial and will not need excessive laundering. To freshen your product, air it out by hanging it outside when the air is moist, out of direct sunlight. When you bring it back inside, the wool will release the moisture into the air—this moisture redistribution results in a refreshing.
