When it comes to choosing the best wool for a baby blanket, softness, warmth, and safety are the top priorities. Babies have delicate skin, making it essential to select a wool type that is gentle, hypoallergenic, and non-irritating. Merino wool stands out as the top choice for baby blankets, and here’s why.
Why Merino Wool is Perfect for Baby Blankets
Merino wool is renowned for its ultra-soft texture and skin-friendly properties, making it the ideal fabric for baby blankets. Unlike coarser wool varieties, merino wool fibres are finer and more flexible, providing a smooth, non-itchy feel against a baby’s sensitive skin.
1. Hypoallergenic & Gentle on Skin
Babies often have sensitive skin, and merino wool is naturally hypoallergenic, reducing the risk of irritation or allergic reactions. Free from synthetic additives, our merino wool baby blankets are crafted to offer comfort without compromise.
2. Breathable & Temperature-Regulating
Merino wool is highly breathable, wicking away moisture and regulating temperature efficiently. This ensures your baby stays cosy in winter and cool in summer, preventing overheating while keeping them snug and comfortable.
3. Natural & Flame-Resistant
One of the greatest benefits of merino wool is its natural flame-resistant properties. Unlike synthetic fibres that can melt when exposed to heat, merino wool self-extinguishes, adding an extra layer of safety to your baby’s bedding.
4. Ultra-Soft & Lightweight
The fine fibres of merino wool make it exceptionally soft, preventing any irritation or discomfort. This is particularly beneficial for newborns and infants, as their delicate skin requires the gentlest touch.
