FAQs
From birth. Merinowool is suitable for newborns, including premature babies, provided the fibers are fine enough and the garment fits well without tight elastics or pressure points.
Yes. That is precisely one of the strong qualities of merino wool. The fiber can absorb up to about 35 percent of its own weight in moisture without feeling wet. The moisture is drawn away from the skin and released again through evaporation. As a result, the skin stays drier than with cotton or synthetic fabrics.
With merino wool, the fiber thickness says a lot about the comfort. It is measured in microns: the lower the number, the finer and softer the wool feels. For babies, fibers of approximately 15 to 19 microns are usually used.
For Moalie products, we exclusively select fine merino wool that is gentle on sensitive baby skin.
That depends on the situation. Cotton is comfortable in warm temperatures and is often more affordable. Merinowool naturally regulates temperature and wicks moisture. This makes it especially suitable in the first months, during sleep, and in changing temperatures. Many parents combine both materials.
Merinowool can shrink if it is not washed properly. Therefore, we recommend hand washing merinowool clothing with a special wool detergent and cold or lukewarm water. Not every washing machine has a reliable wool wash program. Afterwards, lay the garment flat to dry so it retains its shape.
