Why Merino is Great for Babies

October 27, 2017

Merino wool is a real wonder fabric, perfect for keeping babies warm and cosy this autumn and winter. Here at Scarlet Ribbon Merino we specialise in stunning babywear designed for ensuring your baby stays snug, safe and super stylish – here’s our top reasons why you should choose this wonder wool this season.

Merino is the Ultimate Easy-Care Fabric

Your baby needs the freedom to explore, and Scarlet Ribbon Merino  is crafted from uniquely durable natural fibres which are designed to last and last. In contrast to synthetic materials, Merino wool absorbs moisture, which means it’s a great choice for active babies. In addition, this fantastic wool has a stain resistant outer layer which slicks away dirt and grime before they can take hold, and due to its naturally anti-static properties, Merino wool also attracts far less dust. Merino is completely machine washable, and it’s inherent elasticity makes for less ironing! We recommend the merino zip-up baby day suit from Scarlet Ribbon Merino as the ideal outfit for active babies to wear during the autumn and winter months, suited to supporting baby through all their daily activities.

Merino Keeps Your Baby Toasty Warm

Breathable, insulating Merino wool helps to keep baby warm as the weather turns colder, trapping heat in its natural air pockets. The fabric is stretchy enough to accommodate extra layering, making Merino ideal for changeable temperatures! The superpowers of Merino wool don’t end there – as well as being great for insulation, Merino is also ultra-breathable, helping to regulate a baby’s delicate temperature. That’s why this super wool works so well for Scarlet Ribbon Merino’s babywear range, creating stunning easy-care baby knitwear.

Merino is a Healthy, Safe Fabric

In addition to its other amazing attributes, Merino wool is also a reassuringly safe fabric, with natural UV barriers superior to almost all synthetic or cotton materials. Together with its temperature regulation, this makes merino a much safer option no matter the weather.

Merino is 100% Natural (and Stylish, Too!)

Crafted entirely from the wool of Australia’s Merino sheep, this 100% natural and renewable fabric is also biodegradable, so it’s the ethical choice. Scarlet Ribbon Merino fashions stylish babywear from Merino, including Merino wool Babygro’s and baby knitwear made from this wonderful material - so you can be sure that baby is comfy, warm, safe and dressed head-to-toe in stylish baby clothes built to last and last!
