Why wool is so wonderful for your baby
Babies need peace, warmth, and security. Materials play a significant role in this. Wool has been a trusted choice for centuries. It feels soft, breathes well, and naturally balances the body's temperature. Kico label makes beautiful use of this. The brand creates products that contribute to a calm, secure living environment for every baby.

The story behind Kico label
Kico label is a Dutch brand that works with soft, natural materials. The collection is simple, timeless, and designed with comfort in mind. The colors are calming and blend beautifully with various interiors. Everything revolves around warmth, simplicity, and a pleasant daily routine. Merino wool is central to the collection. This wool is supple, airy, and wonderfully soft for the skin. The fiber conforms to the body without being too tight. Exactly what you want for little ones who sleep, explore, and grow a lot.

Why choose wool?
Wool is a beloved material for baby products, and for good reason. Its properties perfectly match what parents look for in fine, safe, and natural products.

Key benefits of wool for babies:
Temperature-regulating: wool retains warmth without overheating and has a cooling effect when it's warm. Perfect for a constant body temperature.
Moisture-absorbing: wool can absorb up to 30% of its weight in moisture without feeling wet or clammy.
Breathable: making it ideal for sleeping, playing, and on the go.
Soft & elastic: wool moves flexibly and always returns to its shape.
Self-cleaning: regular airing is often sufficient.
Natural & safe: free from synthetic additives.

This makes wool an excellent choice for products such as wool baby blankets, a wool sleeping bag, playpen mats, and underlays.

Wool blankets
Kico label's wool blankets feel light and airy. They form a comfortable layer in a cradle or cot. Thanks to the natural fibers, the temperature remains consistent. This makes the blanket ideal for daily use, in any season. The blankets fit snugly but remain flexible. Babies can move freely without getting too warm. With their soft thread and calm colors, they fit into almost any nursery.

Sleeping bags made of natural Merino wool
The wool sleeping bags provide a sense of security. The fabric envelops the body in a soft, breathable way. This keeps your child at the right temperature during the night or during the day in the stroller. Merino wool is supple and doesn't itch. It feels pleasant on the skin, even for children who are sensitive to synthetic materials. The sleeping bags are great for colder months, but due to their breathable properties, they can also be used in other seasons. Wool adapts to its environment and remains surprisingly comfortable.

Playpen mats made of wool
A wool playpen mat makes every play area soft and inviting. The material dampens movement and feels warm without being overwhelming. Babies can lie, roll, and explore on a comfortable surface. Wool maintains its shape beautifully and only gets softer with time. The structure of the fibers provides a calm, natural look. This creates a wonderful place to play, relax, or cuddle.

Underlays for cradle, cot, and stroller
Underlays are a great addition to the sleeping environment. They form a soft base and support an even temperature.
Kico label makes underlays from natural wool that can be placed directly on the mattress. The wool absorbs moisture and gradually releases it. The mattress remains dry and comfortable. In the stroller, a wool underlay provides extra warmth on chilly days. The bottom layer absorbs small shocks and makes the lying area even softer.

Washing wool with care
Although wool is very demanding of itself and doesn't need frequent washing due to its self-cleaning properties, washing may sometimes be necessary. It's important to care for wool correctly so that it remains soft and beautiful.

Tips for washing wool:
Always check the product's washing label.
Use a special wool detergent to protect the natural fats. We recommend these products.
Wash (if permitted) on the wool wash program or by hand in cold water.
Do not rub or wring, as this can damage the fibers.
Always dry wool flat on a towel.

A major advantage of wool is that it largely cleans itself. Often, washing is not necessary at all. Simply hang your wool items outside or near an open window: after airing, wool smells fresh again and immediately feels renewed.
