About New Zealand Merino Wool
 Merino – nature’s wonder fabric
Imagine a fabric which keeps you warm in winter and cool in summer.
Which is breathable and actually resists developing odours of its own. And
is so soft and comfy to wear that you want to wear it all the time.
This fabric exists… it’s New Zealand merino wool.
Merino wool is from the merino sheep, of which there are several
different varieties. The softest wool is from super fine merino – which is
the wool used by Poppet Baby Wear.
Super fine merino wool is unlike any other wool. It’s super-soft to
wear, and doesn’t have the prickly, itchy feeling caused by other wools.
Its softness is sheer luxury, yet unlike so many other of life’s luxuries,
this one is easy to look after, and easy to wear.
Easy wear
Not only is merino wonderfully soft against the skin, but it’ll keep
the wearer cool and dry too. It’s naturally breathable, so there’s no
clammy feeling. The fabric works in harmony with your body by providing
insulation whilst at the same time releasing excess heat and
moisture.
Easy care
Merino garments will last well – and they’re easy to care for. It’s
machine washable, and leave it to dry naturally. The fabric resists
wrinkling, and requires little (if any) ironing. Ideal for traveling or
when you need to take a change of clothes with you for baby.
Safe
Merino is the least flammable of all fibres, and is reported to be
self-extinguishing if it does catch alight, so it’s the safest fibre for
your baby to wear next to its body.
What’s more, merino wool resists static electricity, so your baby
won’t suffer from any electric shocks when being dressed or
undressed.
Perfect for baby’s spills and thrills
Even better, merino wool actually resists staining: if it is soiled,
the fabric’s natural water-repellent surface gives enough time for the
spill to be wiped away before there’s any permanent staining.
Stain resistance: surely the most ideal property baby wear could
have!
