Merino wool is a natural, breathable, and sustainable fibre—perfect for little ones.
To keep your Baby Caterpillar garments soft, comfortable, and long-lasting, follow these simple care tips.

Washing Instructions

  • Machine wash on a gentle cycle using cold or warm water (30°C max)

  • Use a wool-friendly detergent – do not use bleach or fabric softeners

  • Turn garments inside out to reduce friction and protect the fibres

  • Wash with similar colours

  • Avoid soaking or wringing – gently press out water

  • Avoid using top-loading machines with agitators, as they can stretch the fibres

Drying Instructions

  • Lay flat to dry in the shade on a clean towel

  • Avoid hanging, which can stretch the garment

  • Do not tumble dry – heat can shrink or damage the wool

Storage Tips

  • Store clean, fully dry garments in a cool, dry place

  • Fold neatly and place in a breathable cotton or linen bag

  • Use natural moth repellents like lavender or cedar (avoid chemical mothballs)

Why Proper Care Matters

Caring for merino the right way keeps it:

  • Naturally odour-resistant
  • Incredibly soft and non-itchy
  • Long-lasting and perfect to pass down

Love your merino, and it will love you back.
