This is made in 100% organic Merino wool fleece certified as organic by IVN to GOTS standards.

Merino fleeced wool is soft and fluffy to the touch, but wears really well. It's warmer and more windproof than knitted wool and more flexible than boiled wool.

The merino wool fibre used is very fine, soft and springy and is not itchy at all to most skins. The Merino sheep usually thrives in mountainous areas at high altitudes and its wool is naturally brilliant at keeping the body comfortable at a wide range of temperatures.

Relax's organic Merino wool fleece is certified to GOTS organic standards by IVN. All certified organic wool comes from sheep which have been farmed organically and with high animal welfare standards.At Cambridge Baby we always make sure that the wool used in our products come from farms which do not practise mulesing. The organic status refers to all stages of manufacturing process from harvesting of the raw materials, through environmentally and socially responsible manufacturing up to labelling in order to provide a credible assurance to the end consumer.

Wool has many benefits including being anti-bacterial and allowing the body to regulate its own temperature. See the blog for more details.

Wool is naturally self-cleaning, the outer surfaces of the fibre pushing dirt down and off itself. It's naturally anti-bacterial and neutralises odours too... so after wearing, the best thing to do is to hang your wool to air.

Reiff's organic Merino wool fleece is a very delicate fabric so care must be taken when washing. Relax recommends hand washing in cold water that is less than 10C.

Use a detergent designed for wool which protects and replenishes wool's natural oils as sold in our fabric care category here.

To hand-wash your organic Merino wool, dilute your wool detergent in a bowl.

Add your woollens to the bowl, gently stirring and squeezing the detergent through. Rinse using cold water

To dry, gently squeeze water out and wrap your wool clothes in a towel to remove the excess water. Air-dry naturally avoiding direct heat. So, hanging on a drying rack over the bath is good, or on a clothes horse.
