    The Merino balaclava is designed as one size and fits approximately from 1.5 to 5 years. Thanks to its elastic knitted structure, it snuggles comfortably without being stiff.

    The hat section protects the head and ears, while the attached neck section lies over a jacket or sweater like a small collar. This keeps the neck warm without the need for an additional scarf.

    Our tip: The balaclava is particularly practical for daycare, forest days, and the playground – just slip it on, and the head and neck are well-covered.

    Materials & Care

    The balaclava is made from 100% merino wool and is knitted in an elastic half-cardigan stitch. Merino wool is fine, breathable and temperature-regulating – it warms reliably without quickly building up heat. The hat is manufactured in our own knitting mill in Hungenroth near Koblenz.

    Wool naturally brings its own care. It absorbs odors only slowly and often freshens up on its own when aired out. Therefore, the balaclava does not need to be washed after every wear – fresh air is usually sufficient.

    Care tips:

    • Regularly air out, preferably lying flat in the fresh air
    • Clean small stains selectively with a damp cloth
    • If necessary, wash carefully by hand wash with wool detergent
    • Do not tumble dry
    • Do not iron and do not bleach

    With gentle care, merino knitwear remains beautiful and dimensionally stable for a long time – a natural warming piece that reliably accompanies you through many cold days.
