Introducing our beautifully crafted Merino Wool Shorties, the perfect blend of style, comfort, and functionality for your little one. Made from a luxurious interlock fabric blend of 97% Merino wool and 3% Spandex, these shorties provide exceptional qualities of Merino wool with the added benefit of stretch and length of wear time.

Stay with the natural cream color of the fabric, or choose from a selection of expertly hand-dyed colorways using professional acid dyes for protein fibers.  Our Merino Wool Shorties showcases a stunning range of colors and hues, ensuring that each piece is unique and eye-catching. The acid dyes penetrate deep into the fibers, providing long-lasting color vibrancy while maintaining the integrity of the fabric.

The interlock fabric structure makes our Merino Wool Shorties machine washable, ensuring easy care and added convenience for busy parents. The inclusion of 3% Spandex adds stretch to the natural benefits of Merino wool, offering the following advantages for your baby when used as a cloth diaper cover or article of clothing:

1. Temperature regulation: Merino wool is an active fiber that reacts to changes in your baby's body temperature, keeping them warm when it's cold and cool when it's hot. This natural thermoregulation ensures optimal comfort for your little one.

2. Moisture-wicking: The wool's ability to absorb and release moisture means that it can wick away excess dampness from your baby's skin, keeping them dry and comfortable even during long periods of wear.

3. Odor resistance: Merino wool's natural antimicrobial properties help to reduce the buildup of bacteria and unpleasant odors, making our cloth diaper cover a more hygienic choice for your baby.

4. Softness and comfort: Merino wool is renowned for its fine fibers and smooth texture, which means that our cloth diaper cover is gentle on your baby's delicate skin and minimizes the risk of irritation or chafing.

5. Stretch and durability: The addition of Spandex enhances the natural elasticity of Merino wool, providing a better fit and increased length of wear time. The resilient blend of materials and interlock fabric structure make this diaper cover machine washable, ensuring easy care and lasting quality.

6. Reusability: One of the amazing properties of Merino wool is its ability to neutralize urine odor when exposed to air. If the cover is damp with urine, simply air dry it and use it again for the next diaper change. This added advantage makes our cloth diaper cover an economical and eco-friendly option for parents.

Blessings on your cloth diapering and parenting journey!
