Why Choose Wool Fleece: The Ultimate Comfort for Your Baby

Fleece is a popular choice when it comes to creating that perfect, snugly layer for your little ones. However, not all fleece fabrics are created equal. In this blog post, we'll explore why wool fleece is the superior option for your baby's coverall — and indeed, for your own clothing needs.

Superior Breathability and Moisture Management

Unlike traditional polyester fleece, wool fleece, especially merino wool fleece, has an exceptional ability to breathe. This breathability ensures that moisture and sweat are efficiently transported away from your baby's skin, eliminating the discomfort of trapped dampness. Merino wool can absorb up to 33% of its own weight in moisture without feeling wet against the skin, maintaining a warm, dry, and pleasant environment for your baby.

• Benefit: This feature ensures your baby's delicate skin remains tender and soft, free from the chafing and irritation that can come from damp fabrics.

The Environmental Impact: Choosing Responsibly

While traditional polyester fleece, made from recycled PET bottles, might seem like a sustainable choice at first glance, it has its environmental downsides.

1. Microplastics: Every wash of a polyester fleece garment releases microplastics into the environment. Around 10 to 30 percent of these particles manage to escape treatment plants and end up in our oceans.

2. Resource Demand: The demand for polyester fleece has exceeded the supply of used PET bottles. This shortfall means manufacturers are turning to fossil fuels to produce new PET bottles, reducing the overall environmental benefit.

• Benefit: By choosing wool fleece over polyester, you're making an environmentally responsible choice.

Investing in Durability and Function

When you choose a wool fleece coverall for your baby, you're investing in durability, function, and sustainability. Wool fleece outperforms ordinary fleece on every count, providing a cozy, breathable layer that lasts.

• Benefit: An investment in wool fleece is a long-term commitment to quality, comfort, and care for your child.
