Fire Safety

Washing & Care
Caring for merino is easy, but important to get right!
Washing
- Machine or hand wash at 40°C max (low spin speed for blankets)
- Use a wool-approved liquid detergent
- Close any zips before washing
- Turn the garment inside out to reduce pilling
- Place in a delicates wash bag if you have one
Avoid using laundry powder, soaking, bleaching, wringing, dry cleaning, or stain removers, as these practices can accelerate the biodegradation of Merino, causing holes.
Drying
We recommend air-drying merino. Avoid using a tumble dryer, as it can reduce the fabric's soft feel and may cause shrinkage.
Additionally, keep it out of direct sunlight to prevent any fading or discolouration.
Storing
Storing merino correctly is important to keep it safe from moths, mould, dust, and general wear and tear. Vacuum closets/drawers regularly and store with Cedar Moth Balls.
Stain removal
Never soak or bleach merino or use stain removal sprays- even if you develop a stain.
To remove stains on merino, carefully dab the area with a cloth covered in a wool-approved detergent. Follow up by washing your merino as usual and the stain should come out.
Odour removal
Merino wool's moisture-wicking properties makes it naturally odour-resistant.
Odours often vanish on their own, but if needed, air out by hanging, lay flat on a towel to rest, or hang in a steamy bathroom to refresh. The less your merino item is washed the longer it will last.
ABOUT THE FABRIC
Merino sheep produce the finest and softest wool in the world, its benefits are so great that no other fibre- natural or man-made, can match it.
We use extra fine 100% merino wool, it's nearly four times finer than the average human hair. This means it's incredibly soft against the skin and never itchy. Merino is inherently breathable and temperature regulating, keeping babies warm in cold temperatures and cooler in warm temperatures, this makes it a great year-round daily choice as well as being perfect for sleeping in. It also wicks excess moisture away from the skin, is hypoallergenic, and odour resistant, keeping skin comfortable and dry day and night. Merino wool is also an environmentally responsible choice, being a natural, renewable, and biodegradable fibre.
Woolmark and OEKO-TEX approved
All of our merino meets the strict Woolmark standards of exacting quality, traceability and eco-friendly production. It also meets the OEKO-TEX 100 Standard, designed to ensure textile products are free from harmful substances.
Naturally good for everyday comfort
Soft, warm and kind on the skin. Never itchy, our extra fine Australian merino wool fabric keeps kids comfy all year round. It’s hypoallergenic, wicks away moisture and regulates their temperature. And it’s durable, making it perfect for everyday basics.
18.5 micron fibres for incredible softness
Not all merino is created equal. The wool fibres in our all-natural merino fabrics are categorised as Extra Fine, with a diameter of 18.5 microns or less in our clothing range and 21.5 microns on our heavier hoodies.
Conveniently machine washable
Our Woolmark certified merino is approved for machine washing, meeting their strict performance standards for fibre content, colour fastness to light and liquid, durability, and laundry testing.
Clothing made for busy days
Parenting small children has enough complications. We look for ways to make our clothing practical, durable and easy for kids with features like double ended zips, reinforced domes, or built-in mittens.

Lovely-quality hat made from beautiful material, with excellent workmanship. It was slightly smaller than I expected, and I tried to contact the company to exchange it for the next size up, but unfortunately the phone line was always busy. Despite the sizing issue, it’s a very well-made hat and feels lovely to wear.
Nice quality hat. A bit on the small side. Was hoping to order the size up but it was impossible to get through on the phone to swap my order because the phone line was always busy. Despite being on the small side, its a lovely material and is very well made. Ordered a blue on in the same size and material and there was a difference in size despite being the same size.
beautiful material, runs slightly small though as a bit tight on my 7 week olds head and shes smaller too
Unbeatable quality & softness! Cant wait to buy more
Beautiful quality, will be buying more as baby grows
My baby has sensitive skin so these beanies are perfect. They are so soft and keep him warm, but still allow his skin to breath.
High quality merino products,
Excellent customer service, I ordered the wrong size and they let me swap but the beanies had gone on sale since I had purchased so I was able to get the smaller size at the lower price and purchase some mittens as well.
Got 2 in different colours, super soft. Would highly recommend.
Love these hats. Perfect sizing for age range. I have bought a newborn and 6-12mth hat. Also love that they come with a washing bag
We recently purchased several items (bodysuit, sleepsuit, merino wrap, mittens, and booties hat and mittens set) for our baby due this month and we are super happy with them. My husband loves the merino wrap - it is his favourite baby item we have! Great service, timely delivery and excellent quality - thanks so much
Beautiful merino hat. Lovely, warm material. Will be used a lot I would say.
Perfect beanie fro little kids and babies. Miss mini owns a few and loves them, not too hot but still a good layer. Always a welcome gift as well, nice colour range too.
Lovely soft hat that stays on - perfect for a newborn.
Stunning hat! Very soft.
Beautiful merino hat! Good quality merino, nice and fine. Hat has a nice wide band, so stays on well. I bought a couple in different colours!
Have been buying these hats from newborn size and LOVE them! So soft and warm!
Great quality merino hat, not itchy at all. The mulberry is a beautiful colour too.
Loving the softness and the fantastic quality of the Marino! With so many Marino products out these days it’s hard to find quality products. Quick and personal delivery ,which made my purchase at Babu so much more special and I’m definitely looking forward to purchasing more
Great hat, lightweight but warm. Very fast delivery.
Great sizing and lovely soft merino for the lil man
I purchased this little hat for my grandson as you can put it on the wee chap if it is very cold at night. It will go very nicely with his babu sleeping bag.
Soft and gentle for our wee one. We purchased the matching gown and wrap also - looks so cute and the fabric is gorgeous.
Love my babu hats, I have used one since Briar was born, and will continue to purchase as her wee head grows. I love that they never fall off and keep her wee ears warm down here in the snow! Thank you babu!!!
