Kids overall virgin wool fleece

Natural material and well thought-out cut: with these two quality features, the children's overall convinces all along the line. The virgin wool comes from merino sheep in controlled organic animal husbandry. It is processed into a soft fleece with the characteristic roughened surface: By roughening, the fine, crimped fibers of the merino wool puff out to even greater volume and can therefore trap heat-insulating air even better. This enhances the natural temperature-regulating effect of virgin wool as well as its fine softness.

The overlapped fit with extended crotch is designed to snuggle your offspring comfortably all over the body and at the same time to give him the greatest possible freedom of movement. Even with a diapered baby's bottom or in the classic squat-and-spread position (which your baby automatically assumes when you pick him up), your child will not feel constricted, but will be able to exercise his innate movement training to his heart's content, whether leisurely kicking in the baby car seat or crawling across the play carpet with joy of discovery. And if it leads your way out into the world, the sleeves and trouser legs are equipped with fold-down cuffs so that hands and feet can also be kept warm. In addition, the hood protects your child from cooling down in wind and weather. Buttons made of solid olive wood put the natural icing on the cake, as it were.

Engel is located at the foot of the Swabian Jura and has been focusing on natural textiles in an exemplary and consistent manner for 35 years now. In addition to cotton from controlled organic cultivation (kbA), Engel processes pure merino virgin wool from controlled organic animal husbandry (kbT) as well as merino virgin wool (kbT) in combination with silk. All buttons are made from renewable raw materials. For dyeing the wool textiles, Engel uses only reactive dyes that bond particularly stably with the fiber and are characterized by high color fastness.

Two basic properties make merino wool such a valuable material for children's clothing and home textiles.
1. Their outstanding temperature-balancing effect:
Merino sheep provide a distinctly soft, fine wool, to which the animals owe their much-vaunted resilience. Not even the sometimes extreme temperature differences of their natural habitat can harm merino sheep: In cold weather, their slightly crimped wool fibers are particularly effective at storing natural body heat; in hot weather, the fibers absorb a lot of body moisture and wick it away to the environment with a cooling effect. Last but not least, merino wool is particularly skin-friendly thanks to its very fine wool fibers; even wool-sensitive people feel comfortable in it.
2. Their natural ease of care:
Children's textiles not only have to be able to withstand a lot, they also have to be easy to care for. Pure new wool fibers offer this enormous advantage: they have a rough surface and a natural content of wool fat (lanolin). This is why virgin wool is self-cleaning, as it were - dirt particles can only adhere to the rough fiber surface with difficulty. So it is often enough to air the garment and brush out the dried dirt.
