Wool is ideal for use with babies, due to it being hypoallergenic, antibacterial, and self-cleaning properties.
Wool is naturally self-cleaning; it contains lanolin (wool fat) which when moist changes to become lanolin soap, cleaning the wool fibers and keeping the blanket hygienic. The lanolin prevents odours from building up in the wool, ensuring it remains smelling fresh and like new.
Wool also repels dirt and is resistant to staining, making it the perfect material for babies and messy children! Due to wool's natural waxy film, liquids sit on top of the wool instead of absorbing into it, meaning they can simply be wiped away.
