Merino PJ's

The merino products are the best. The sleep sack is soft plenty of room and super warm. The merino lasts through whole families and washes well. Well worth paying the bit extra for the quality.

Terry Hooded Baby Towel

I have had two of these towels for close to two years now and they are still almost like new. So thick and soft and the velour side is still super velvety. I love them.

Fleece Merino Vest
Absolutely love it!

Last year I got the fleece zip up hoodie and we absolutely love it and got so much wear out of it, it still looks close to brand new and I've given it to a friend, when I saw the vests, I knew we needed one!
