Lightweight Insulation

The fibers have small scales that make it so air is harder to pass through making it better insulation. It also has air spaces in it making it incredibly light weight.

Allergy Safe

Most wools have a bad misconception that they are scratchy and uncomfortable. Some people think that it is due to allergies. It is not due to allergies or is it specific to wool. It is due to the fibers in the fabric not bending when they contact the skin. Fine Australian wools. like Merino wool, have superfine fibers and a silky outer layer that make it feel super soft and itch free. This is especially good for babies with eczema, allergies and sensitive skin.

Naturally Fire Resistant

It may be hard to realize that wool is naturally fire resistant, but it is! If a fire is to strike the fabric the chemicals react with combustible gases and tars normally generated by the material. The tars are converted to carbon char which forms on the surface, slowing the burning rate . The combustible gases are rendered nonflammable for the most part due to dilution with harmless carbon dioxide and water vapor released in the reaction. This happens automatically, driven by the heat of the fire, and requires no coating maintenance, batteries, or plumbing; it is true passive protection.Synthetic materials often require extra chemicals to make them fire retardant and who wants unnecessary chemicals next to their baby?

Ability to Regulate Temperature

Using Merino wool for your baby sleeping bag creates the perfect micro-climate for your baby. It is so amazing that it will release heat and moisture into the air if the room temperature rises and it will trap the air in the sleep sack if the temperature in the room lowers. Can you believe that this all happens naturally?

One thing we didn’t talk about yet is cost. This fabric can get rather expensive but I believe that it is worth it. All of these benefits that I talked about before all happen naturally. I think this is absolutely amazing! I only talked about 4 of the benefits of this amazing fabric and there are many more.
