Merino Sheep - New Zealand High Country - Southern Alps
Why Is New Zealand Merino Wool So Special?
New Zealand merino is undoubtedly nature's wonder fibre. It is pure, natural, renewable and biodegrable.
It is whiter, stronger and longer than merino from any other country in the world. It is produced in New Zealand’s rugged and beautiful high country, where sheep roam freely.
The main benefit of NZ merino is its ability to create its own comfortable micro-climate around your child’s body. Unlike synthetics, merino breathes and manages moisture. It has an unique ability to respond to changes in temperature, keeping your little one comfortable in all climates and conditions.
Thus Nanok Kids merino wool clothing can be worn all day long, summer or winter, with complete comfort.
Discover here why your child will LOVE wearing our silky soft eco friendly merino wool clothes:

Comfort
New Zealand merino is much finer than other types of wool and it feels light and soft next to your child’s skin. The merino fibres are so fine that when pressed against the skin they simply bend, meaning there is no sensation of prickle, only softness.

Heat and Moisture Management
Merino breathes and it has the ability to actively respond to changes in temperature, keeping your little one warm when the weather is cold and cool and comfortable when the weather is hot. How it works...
The natural crimp of merino fibre enables it to trap air effectively, thus insulating your child’s body from the cold.
Merino also has the ability to absorb and release large amounts of moisture, up to 35% of its own weight, without feeling damp. As it absorbs moisture the merino fibre releases small but noticeable amount of heat, preventing your child from chilling in cool conditions.
Merino fabric breathes. This lets your child's body release moisture vapour, so there is no clammy feeling - even in hot conditions.

Fire Safety
Another way that merino helps safeguard your child’s health is through its natural fire resistant properties.
It takes an extremely high temperature for merino to ignite. More importantly when merino burns it doesn’t melt and stick to the skin in the way that synthetics can. Even if it does catch fire merino tends to be naturally self-extinguishing.

Improved Sleep Patterns
Some medical studies have shown that merino improves the sleep patterns of babies and infants resulting in increased weight gain and generally improved levels of contentment.
This is largely attributed to its previously noted ability to regulate heat and humidity.

Easy Care
Our New Zealand merino wool clothing is machine washable - great for busy parents!
Our merino wool tops are also resistant to odours and stains, so they don’t need to be washed as often as cotton garments - great for the environment!
Merino’s natural elasticity (it can be bent 30,000 times without breaking) means its “wrinkle recovery rate” is exceptional. Nanok Kids wool clothes made from merino therefore require little if any ironing – making them a must have for children and their parents!

UV Protection
Merino fabric is a very efficient absorber of potentially harmful ultraviolet radiation from the sun, giving your baby and child a much higher degree of protection than from fabrics constructed of other competing fibres.
|
|
Renewable and Natural
Merino leaves a very light footprint on the planet. It is an annually renewable and natural product. It is highly durable but also biodegradable at the end of its life. It involves an environmentally friendly, natural growth process of converting grass into fibre.
