Why Your Children Should Be Wearing Merino Clothing

Nature's gift to us all, merino wool has plenty of excellent qualities that make it ideal for children's clothes. First and foremost, the garments themselves are made in New Zealand and every step in the production process adheres to strict principles that ensure the final product is ethically and environmentally sound. Clothing made from Merino wool is completely natural, recyclable and biodegradable; at no point have the garments ever come in contact with chemicals like chlorine or bleach, making them one of the safest clothing choices for your children.

Large corporations have spent millions developing synthetic fabrics like polypropylene as cheap alternatives to the real thing, but nothing comes close to rivaling the unbeatable qualities of all natural merino wool. The wool is comes from a special breed of sheep called the Merino which can be found grazing peacefully all over New Zealand's pristine farmland. These sheep usually belong to small or medium sized family farms that lovingly care for them and harvest their wool once a year - a time honoured tradition that in some farms goes back several generations. The entire process, from wool harvesting and transporting as well as the manufacturing of the clothes is designed to be sustainable. Merino clothing is a wholly natural, recyclable and biodegradable product; at no stage in the manufacturing process are chemicals like chlorine or bleach used, making merino wool one of the safest clothing choices for your children.

Merino wool's natural durability makes it an ideal choice for kids clothing - studies have shown that merino wool fibres can be bent up to 30,000 times without breaking. This essentially means that clothes made from merino wool will stand up to repeated washings without looking old and worn out. Merino wool is also naturally odour and stain resistant - an important factor when it comes to children's garments.

Parents of infants and newborns will be pleased to hear that merino wool offers many health benefits. The temperature regulation properties of merino wool creates a comfortable cocoon around the sleeping child where it is never too hot or too cold, leading to a more restful sleep. Merino wool also cuts down on allergies since it is static resistant and tends to pick up fewer dust particles and lint from the air. According to some studies merino wool fabrics around a sleeping baby have even shown a marked decrease in the risk of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS).

Merino wool is 100% sustainable, recyclable and biodegradable. In light of recent health scares and product recalls on toxic consumer toys, clothes etc. it should come as a welcome relief to merino wool clothing are completely natural, organic and safe for your little ones. From the sheep back to the factory floor, the process of making merino wool clothing has been designed to be totally environmentally friendly and sustainable. At no point are dangerous chemicals like bleach or chlorine used during the manufacture process, making it safe for the environment and, more importantly, safe for your kids.

Merino wool clothing for children can also be highly beneficial to parents! The wool's natural durability makes it long lasting (which is easy on the wallet), they are easily machine washable and last, but not least, merino wool clothes are extremely wrinkle resistant and require no ironing.

A testament to its durability and desirability, merino wool has long been the mainstay fabric of high-end athletic wear for activities like long distance running, hiking, cycling or mountain climbing - activities where the wool's amazing temperature regulation, breathability and comfort are indispensable. Why should outdoorsmen and athletes have all the fun? Your kids can enjoy all the benefits and luxurious softness of natural fibre merino wool clothing. Designed with fun, fashion and functionality in mind, merino wool garments should be your number one choice when it comes to clothing your little ones.
