• 45% GOTS certified cotton, 37% GOTS certified organic wool, 18% silk
• super soft feel
• no side seams

This garment is made from a fabric blend comprising 18% silk, 37% organic wool and 45% organic cotton. This blend combines the thermo-regulating properties of soft fine wool with the silkiness of pure silk and durability of cotton.

The wool used in this garment is certified to GOTS organic standards. These are very high standards which control the organic status of the grass and food that the sheep eat, as well as all aspects of the processing of the wool, and also sets high standards for animal husbandry. In this fabric, wool is combined with organic cotton and silk.

Wool has many benefits when worn next to the skin and about the body.

• Wool absorbs moisture into the centre of the fibre, so that it still feels dry on the outside. This is very healthy for your skin - your skin stays dry while the wool can absorb up to 33% of its own weight while feeling dry.
• Wool "breathes", releasing its moisture out into the atmosphere. It does this dynamically in response to the environment, so if you or your child is active and sweating more, wool works harder for you. Wonderful.
• Wool is also naturally anti-bacterial, dirt-resistant and very stretchy, making wonderful clothes that are easy to put on and take off, excellent for dressing babies and children.
• Merino wool has also been proven to absorb UV across the whole range of the spectrum, giving excellent lightweight sun protection in the summer too.

Wool is therefore a wonderful temperature-regulator, slowing down the effects of changes of temperature and helping prevent sweatiness by absorbing moisture and releasing it in response to the environment.

The health benefits of wool are being revealed time and time again. Studies have shown that it's better for the health of premature babies if they are nursed on wool rather than cotton and it's better for the skin of hospital patients if they lie on wool rather than polyester.

Wool helps sleep too. At least two studies show that people get a better night's sleep with wool around them - people go to sleep more quickly, sleep longer and have better quality sleep too.

Please note that under EU labelling regulations, stating the type of wool is not allowed, only a statement of "100% wool" or "new wool" is allowed.

For centuries, silk has been known as the premier fabric to wear next to the skin. It is very smooth, so it's non-irritating, and it has good insulation properties giving it good warmth for its lightness. It is also naturally antibacterial and healthy for the skin.

This garment can be hand washed warm or machine washed on a 30C wool wash. Use a detergent designed for wool which protects and replenishes wool's natural oils as sold in our fabric care category here.

Air-dry naturally avoiding direct heat. So, hanging on a drying rack over the bath is good, or on a clothes horse. Mine often end up over the back of chairs or on the washing line in the shade (I haven't had a problem with the the heat of the English sun being too hot, yet, but direct sunlight is not good for wool).

Re-shape while still damp.
