Some things are worth choosing carefully, and your baby's first blanket is one of them. Knitted entirely from pure merino wool and finished with a hand-illustrated kitten motif, this is less a nursery accessory than a small, soft piece of nature - made to be held, washed, held again, and eventually kept as a reminder of just how small they once were.

Every piece begins as ethically sourced merino from small farms independently vetted for animal welfare, then knitted directly to its finished shape by a fourth-generation family knitting house that has worked this craft since 1928 -no offcuts, no waste, just wool shaped exactly as it's needed. The result is a fibre so fine it feels closer to cashmere than a countryside jumper: soft enough for newborn skin, resilient enough to be handed down, and naturally suited to regulate warmth whatever the season brings.

Generously sized at 100 × 70 cm, it earns its place well beyond the crib: Layered over the pram on cooler mornings, spread out for supervised tummy time, wrapped around tiny shoulders during golden-hour cuddles, or simply folded over the nursery chair as quiet, considered décor. Finished only with OEKO-TEX-certified components, it's designed to soften with every wash rather than wear thin - the kind of first blanket that outlasts the nursery it started in.

A newborn needs very little to thrive: Warmth, closeness, and time. Merino wool has spent millennia doing exactly that for sheep on cold mountainsides, which is part of why it makes such a natural companion for your baby's first year.

Ways to Use:

Pram & Stroller Layer - Add warmth on cooler walks without weighing baby down.
Tummy Time - Lay it flat for a soft, breathable surface during supervised play.
Golden-Hour Cuddles - Wrap around baby for feeding, rocking, or those first photographs.
Nursery Styling - Folded over a chair or cot rail, it doubles as quiet, considered décor between uses.

Caring for Merino:

Let It Breathe - Wool self-cleans between wears; airing it out often means fewer washes than you'd expect.
Pilling Is Normal - A little pilling is simply part of how wool behaves over time - a fabric shaver restores it in minutes.
Wash Sparingly - Fewer washes, done gently, keep merino softer for longer.
