Wool Clothing

At Småfolk, we have an extensive range of children's wool clothing designed to provide optimal comfort and protection for little ones all year round. In our selection of wool clothing for babies and children, you'll find everything from wool bodysuits, wool suits, wool sweaters, wool trousers, and wool hats. Wool is known for its insulating properties, which retain warmth while being breathable and moisture-wicking. Our merino wool suits are made from 100% merino wool and have a regular fit that ensures the child can move freely and comfortably. Additionally, the wool suits feature a practical envelope closure and snap buttons, making dressing easier.

Why choose wool clothing for your child?

There are several good reasons why wool clothing is beneficial for children. Merino wool generally does not itch, making it ideal for children with sensitive skin. Furthermore, the fine and crimped fibers of merino wool create insulating air pockets that help regulate body temperature. These air pockets absorb and retain moisture, keeping your child warm and dry. Another fantastic feature of wool is that it is self-cleaning. This means that wool clothing can often simply be aired out instead of washed, saving time and resources.

Wool for all temperatures

Wool is an incredibly versatile material suitable for use in all temperatures. At Småfolk, we specialize in offering wool clothing for children that ensures comfort and warmth all year round. Wool's unique properties make it perfect for both warm and cold days, making it an ideal choice for children's clothing. Småfolk's wool clothing, such as wool sweaters, wool trousers, and wool hats, ensures that your child is dressed in soft and comfortable clothing regardless of the temperature. The versatility of wool means it can be used as a layering piece in winter or as standalone items in milder weather conditions.

How to wash wool clothing

To preserve wool's many qualities, we recommend machine washing on a wool program at a maximum of 30 degrees, preferably without bleach and tumble drying. Wool suits can be ironed at a low temperature but should not be dry cleaned. Overall, it's important to note that wool clothing generally requires gentle care to maintain its quality after washing. Another advantage of wool is that it doesn't need to be washed as often as other materials. Wool is naturally antibacterial, meaning it can usually be aired out between uses. This helps extend the life of your child's wool clothing and maintain its appearance and functionality.

Wool clothing that children can wear all year round

You can dress your child in wool both as an inner layer and as an outer layer in the form of trousers and a cardigan or hat and mittens, minimizing cold ears, fingers, and cheeks. With the right clothing in the form of wool garments, you can safely put your child in the pram or send your child to the playground. Many people expect that wool clothing for children is too warm to put on your child unless it is below zero degrees outside. However, this is not true. Wool clothing has fantastic temperature-regulating properties and can therefore keep your child both warm and comfortable when they are sitting calmly on the floor playing.

Conversely, if your child is running around and sweating, the wool absorbs the sweat and helps your child release heat, so the child stays dry and maintains a stable temperature. Children's clothing made of wool can therefore be worn all year round, day and night, regardless of the season. Wool clothing is also ideal if you have a child who often sweats, as the moisture and sweat are transported away from the material. The temperature-regulating function gives every parent peace of mind and security that our little ones can always breathe easy. Wool clothing for children and babies is also very suitable as sleepwear, as many children sometimes sleep restlessly and often kick off their duvet. With a wool romper for babies, your child stays warm without getting too hot. If your child has cold and flu periods, where the cold months in particular leave their mark on your child's immune system, then children's clothing made of wool is the obvious choice. By dressing your child in wool clothing regardless of the season, as a parent you give your child the best conditions for a warm and dry body, which leads to fewer cold and sick days. However, wool is a matter of taste and therefore no guarantee that neither you nor your child will be thrilled, but with the many advantages, it is definitely worth a try.

The right treatment for children's wool clothing

As mentioned, wool has many advantages. Further advantages are that wool does not wrinkle. In addition, wool is easy to keep clean, as dirt does not penetrate the fabric, thus reducing the conditions for bacterial growth. It is recommended not to wash wool clothing too often, as some of the properties and benefits of wool decrease over time. It is also a good idea to wash wool at low temperatures, as the risk of the wool shrinking is reduced.
