Wool absorbs moisture, up to 33% of its own weight, and will keep your child dry, protecting the health and well-being of the little ones. With its isolating qualities wool naturally regulates the body temperature.

Merino wool has also been proven to absorb UV across the whole range of the spectrum, giving excellent lightweight sun protection in the summer too.

Lilano based in the Swabian Albs, manufactures baby and children's clothing from natural, chemical free raw materials. Only certified organically sourced materials (kbA) and materials from controlled organic husbandry (kbT)are used.

Merino Wool and Silk products:

Wool is very elastic. It is dirt and water resistant and has a temperature and warmth regulating effect. It keeps better warm than all other materials and regulates cutaneous respiration and the oxygen exchange. It can absorb up to 35% of its own weight of moisture without feeling wet. Besides, wool is aliphatic by nature.

Due to the wool’s characteristic of being dirt-repellent frequent washing is not necessary as wool regenerates itself by airing-out in air containing a lot of oxygen.

The silk thread is an animal albumen fibre which is extracted from the cocoon of the silkworm and which is similar to the wool fibre structure and in its characteristics. The extraordinary length of this natural silk fibre, its tensile strength, finesse and its characteristic grip, turn silk into one of the finest textile materials. Silk is especially eudermic and has a shiny surface. Silk actively balances temperature, i.e. it gives warmth when it is cold and cools down when warm. Silk is suitable for people with sensitive skin.

Silk can take up 40 % of its own weight as moisture. It regenerates, similarly to wool, in fresh air and does not have to washed frequently. We advise to only hand wash silk in warm water without rubbing. Avoid when drying your silk clothes long and direct sun as otherwise the fibre gets brittle and loses its firmness.

Care instructions for Merino Wool and Silk

Underwear from wool and wool/silk should be washed by hand with a wool detergent. Please do not soak, rub, wring or toss your underwear in water. It is important that the washing and the rinsing water have the same temperature that wool does not suffer a cold shock which causes felting. After washing wrap the underwear in a towel, wring and pull it in form and let it dry flat.

Pay attention to care labels on each product. Here are explanation of the most common symbols which can be found on our prdocts

The numbers in the tub indicate the maximum washing temperature, which should not be exceeded. The line underneath the tub requires a (mechanically) softer treatment (delicate wash) and marks washing cycles suitable for wash-and-wear and mechanically delicate articles. A double line indicates washing cycles with a more minimized mechanic, e.g. for wool.

 

Iron

Hot iron

Medium hot iron

Do not hot iron! Be careful when steam ironing

Do not iron

The points in the iron indicate the levels of temperature of the respective iron.

 

Tumble Drying

Drying with normal thermal load

Drying with reduced thermal load

Do not tumble dry

The points stand for the drying level of the tumble dryer.

 

Bleach

Chlorine and oxygen bleach admissible

Non-chlorine bleach only

Do not bleach

 

Dry Clean

Do not Dry Clean

Do not wet clean

The letters are for chemical dry clean and indicate which active solvents can be used. The beam underneath the circle stands for a reduced mechanical treatment, addition of moisture and/or temperature when dry cleaning.

This symbol marks articles which can be wet cleaned. Normally it is in the second line under the symbol for chemical dry cleaning. The beam underneath the circle indicates a reduced mechanical treatment. (see washing).
