Fine Merino

It was many centuries ago when mankind first recognized the special qualities of wool and, since then, people all around the world have used it to make garments and blankets.

Today, merino wool offers us an exquisite alternative to other materials. Deliciously soft and ‘cozy’, its fibres glide over our bodies providing protection and comfort that is kind to even the most sensitive of skins.

It is no secret that wool cannot be beaten as a natural thermal insulator, and merino wool is particularly special in this regard. What makes it so exceptional is that when the fine fibres are layered together, their naturally crimped shapes form millions of tiny air pockets that trap air, keeping a stable barrier between the body and the environment.

Most of the New Zealand merino fleece used for The Cozy Wool Company products comes from specially-bred sheep grazing the cool temperate alpine and sub-alpine pastures of the beautiful South Island.

When it comes to choosing products for babies and young children, quality and gentleness must come first – and it's hard to go past a natural product like merino wool.

Warm in winter, cool in summer!
