Details
Lightweight yet naturally warm, merino is well known for its temperature-regulating properties. It helps keep little ones cosy in cooler weather without overheating, making these footed pants ideal for layering through autumn and winter. The single jersey knit gives a gentle stretch, allowing for easy movement while helping the pants retain their lovely shape wash after wash.
The full-length design with enclosed feet keeps tiny toes warm without the need for socks – especially helpful for younger babies who love to kick them off. A wide, comfortable waistband sits softly on the tummy and can be rolled down or pulled up for extra comfort and flexibility as your child grows. This thoughtful design makes them a practical choice for both nappies and growing bodies. These pants work beautifully as daytime wear paired with a bodysuit, or layered under a swaddle or sleeping bag for night-time sleep.

Care for your merino
As with many wool garments, you may experience a bit of pilling on this garment. Please note this is often due to a soft fibre such as merino rubbing against other fabrics, such as flannelette sheets. We consider pilling a normal part of wear and tear on a soft merino garment. We could have treated the fabric much more to reduce pilling but then it would lose its lovely, snuggly softness.
Please take care with moths
Protect
your Merino from small holes created by insects such as moths and
silverfish. Ensure your garments are clean before storing. Lavender and
Cedar wood are noxious to these pests so storing your garments with
these scents or a moth trap will help protect your knitwear further.
Love your Merino and it will love you back!
