Merino wool – what is it and where does it come from?
Merino wool is another term for wool obtained from the fleece of merino sheep. This is a breed of high-altitude sheep that is perfectly adapted to a highly variable climate.
Due to the fact that these sheep inhabit areas known for difficult weather conditions – during winter, temperatures drop to -30 degrees, while in summer they rise to over 30 degrees – they have evolutionarily adapted to these changing conditions.
That's why merino wool stands out for its excellent properties. During the hot months, merino wool perfectly conducts heat to the outside , protecting against overheating. In winter, it retains heat very close to the body , minimizing the effects of snow, frost, and wind.

Natural thermoregulation
First and foremost, merino wool is known for its excellent protection against both overheating and freezing. How is this possible? The answer lies in the incredible fibers of this material . They are very thin and packed into a small area, yet contain plenty of air spaces.
And the more air spaces, the better the thermal insulation. This characteristic makes merino wool one of the best materials used in children's clothing .
Antibacterial properties of merino wool products
In merino wool clothing, bacteria don't have the right conditions to thrive , thanks to the lanolin contained in the fibers of this popular material. It's this quality that makes merino wool a staple in every baby's wardrobe.
Hygroscopicity
During exercise, every body produces sweat, and the job of our clothing is to absorb it and then evaporate it. Merino wool is known for absorbing up to 35% of its weight in moisture , and more importantly, water isn't stored in its fibers (as is the case with synthetic materials).
This is why children's clothes made from this wool are so resistant to physical exertion. And we all know that our little ones are constantly on the move.
Pilling resistance
Merino wool is exceptionally durable and resistant to pilling. Furthermore, merino wool garments don't need to be washed frequently , thanks to its antibacterial properties, which also contribute to their increased durability.
