Details
This 100% merino wool long sleeve top is made from a luscious 220g,
100% rib knit fabric. It has a classic crew neck, comfortable wide arm cuffs and is super soft and snuggly for toddlers and pre-schoolers to wear day or night. The rib knit gives this Merino top great stretch, allowing the fabric to 'hug' your little one nicely snug,
making it a perfect base layer and also great on it's own!
The weight and rib construction of this long sleeve top means it is
thicker than most on the market. It is made to last longer and is
durable and warmer for those cooler months.
Available in classic colours and sizes 1-4 years.
Why choose our Merino?
At The Sleep Store, we love to find amazing products that help children sleep better. Merino has unique temperature regulating properties which help your child stay just the right temperature all night.
Lots of merino is very pricey or it's not great quality, so we've developed our range of unisex merino, made from a snug 220gm ribbed 100% merino fabric which has been knitted just for us! We've
made the top longer than normal to keep little tummies and backs warm.

Care for your Wool
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 wool rubbing against other fabrics, such as flannelette sheets. We consider pilling a normal part of wear and tear on a soft merino wool 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 Wool 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.
What are the major differences between The Sleep Store Merino Wool garments?
This merino wool and tencel blend is silky smooth against the skin has a comfortable stretch and is super lightweight. The tencel component makes this garment quick drying. Perfect for all year round use, it is the lightest of all our merino at 165gsm. Amazing weight for warmer weather.
Jersey Merino
The jersey merino wool is super smooth and soft, feels like high quality t-shirt fabric and has a comfortable stretch to it - not as much as the deluxe merino wool rib. Great for all year round at 200gsm. Good for summer babies.
Deluxe Merino Rib
This is a rib knit merino wool meaning it's structure is made up of rows of stitching. This gives this merino a really beautiful stretch with cross grain elasticity. It is so soft and great for all year round at 220gsm.
Merino Tencel Fleece
The most fluffy fleecy softness on the inside, with a smooth sweatshirt look on the outside, and most definitely the warmest of them all at 270gsm.
