Gorgeous, super-soft pure wool tights available in natural and navy. Warm and breathable to keep little legs warm and skin healthy, we've chosen these because of their soft knit and flexibility.

• 100% super soft, non-itchy wool
• naturally stretchy
• easy to put on and take off

Great softness for newborns all the way up to 9 year-olds!

The smaller sizes are designed to cover your baby's tummy, right up to the chest. They are long in the body for this reason, and don't finish at the hip but above the tummy!
After customer feedback we have updated our sizing. Sizing is now translated from the German labelling as follows:

• 56-62 -- 0-6m (will be too big for newborns but should fit from around 2m onwards)
• 68-74 -- 6-12m
• 80-86 -- 12-24m
• 92cm -- 2-3 years
• 98cm -- 3-4 years
• 104cm -- 4-5 years

If your child wears cloth nappies, please size up.
Children come in all shapes and sizes. Please let us know if this sizing works for your child.

This is made from 100% organic wool certified as organic by IMO to GOTS standards.

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 no wool comes from farms which practise mulesing.

Wool has many benefits:

• It is naturally anti-bacterial
• It 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.
• It "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.

In this way, wool is 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. This makes it a wonderful fabric for socks and tights for the whole family, as well as for athletes, cyclists, skiers and mountain-climbers. It's naturally high-tec and can't be beaten by synthetics!

Hand wash using a wool detergent or wool shampoo as sold in our fabric care category here.

Dilute your wool detergent in cool water (max 30oc which will feel luke-warm) in a bowl. For heavily-soiled areas, use a little gall soap on your woollens first, testing on an inconspicuous area first.

Add your woollens to the bowl, gently stirring and squeezing the detergent through. Rinse using water at the same temperature, otherwise your wool will be subjected to "shock" and might felt up.

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, or flat on a dry terry towel.

Re-shape while damp.
