Wool clothing for babies & children
Wool is a true natural talent – and the ideal choice for babies and children in every season.
What are the advantages of merino wool?
Naturally warm
Wool is naturally warming, breathable and temperature-regulating. Your child stays comfortably warm and dry without overheating – in any season.
Gentle on the skin
Merino wool is particularly soft and ideal for sensitive baby and children’s skin – completely without synthetic additives.
Easy to care for
Usually, airing it out is enough. If necessary, wash it gently by hand or in the wool programme and let it dry flat.
Sustainable
Wool is a natural, renewable raw material – biodegradable, durable and environmentally friendly. Good for your child and our world.
Tip: look for quality & origin
High-quality, sustainably sourced wool lasts longer and is particularly kind to the skin and the environment.

Wool materials at a glance
What types of wool clothing are there – and what are they suitable for?
Depending on how it is processed and blended, wool clothing suits different needs:
Wool knit
Knitted merino new wool
Very soft, elastic, insulates well. Ideal as a mid-layer under an outdoor wool overall.
Shop wool knit
Wool terry
Finely knitted merino new wool with terry loops
Fluffy on the inside, very soft, keeps warmth in even better than smooth wool fabrics.
Shop wool terry
Wool fleece
Knitted merino new wool, brushed into a fleece
Very light and cuddly soft. Perfect as an outer layer for babies and toddlers – also in baby carriers and car seats.
Shop wool fleece
Boiled wool
Knitted merino new wool, compacted by moisture, heat and movement
Firm, robust, wind- and water-repellent. Ideal as outdoor clothing in autumn and winter from walking age.
Shop boiled woolBoiled wool or wool fleece?
What’s the difference?
Boiled wool is made by fulling, a kind of felting. The fabric is robust, windproof and water-repellent – ideal for active children from walking age who romp around outside.
Wool fleece is knitted and brushed. This creates a soft, fluffy material that keeps just as warm but is not as robust or windproof – perfect for babies and toddlers who are not yet mobile.
Do boiled wool and wool fleece keep warm enough in winter?
Yes, both are perfect for winter: warm, breathable and temperature-regulating. On very cold days, add wool knit or wool terry and wool-silk underneath – with the layering look, your child is well protected even below zero.
Wool clothing in rain and snow?
Boiled wool and wool fleece are water-repellent, but not waterproof: light rain or snow beads off. In heavy rain, put unlined rain trousers and a rain jacket over them – your child stays dry and you save on a snowsuit.
Overall or two-piece?
Overall
Perfect for babies – quick to put on and warm all round.
Two-piece
Jacket and trousers are ideal for mobile toddlers – especially during potty training.
Layering look with wool clothing
Perfectly dressed, layer by layer
Layering lets you dress your child for any weather – breathable, temperature-regulating and flexible. Our wool clothing is made for it:
-
Base layer
Underwear
Wool-silk as underwear, bodysuit or pyjamas. Gentle on the skin, temperature-regulating and moisture-wicking – comfortable day and night.
-
Middle layer
Thermal layer
Merino wool knit or wool terry as a jumper, little jacket, trousers or overall. It keeps warmth in and can be worn on its own in autumn; in winter it goes between underwear and outdoor clothing.
-
Outer layer
Outdoor clothing
Wool fleece or boiled wool as a jacket, trousers or overall. This natural outer layer keeps warm reliably, is wind- and water-repellent and protects your child from the cold in autumn and winter.
