Good to know
Yes, wool is suitable for every season. It helps keep your baby warm when it’s cold and wicks away moisture when it gets warmer. This helps wool keep your baby comfortable all year round. Always adjust your baby’s clothing layers to the temperature and your baby’s needs.
We work with soft, warm wool in a range of textures and qualities.
Felted, also known as felted wool, is a soft, dense, natural wool fabric that feels wonderfully warm. Thumbled has a full, woolly, cuddly-soft texture. Our Teddy wool is also soft and woolly, but has more fluidity and stretch, making the fabric extra flexible and comfortable. We also use knitted wool made from Italian merino wool, known for its exceptional softness, fine texture, and comfortable feel.
You don’t need to wash a Woolskins product before using it for the first time. Thanks to naturally occurring lanolin, wool has self-cleaning and antibacterial properties that you’ll want to preserve for as long as possible. Usually, simply airing it outside is enough. What’s more, all our products are hygienically processed and carefully inspected during production, so you can use them right away with complete peace of mind.
Wool is a natural, breathable material that adapts to the conditions. It helps keep your baby warm when it’s cold and wicks away moisture when your baby gets warm. Unlike many synthetic materials, a TOG rating doesn’t tell you everything about comfort when it comes to wool. Warmth also depends on the wool’s structure, air circulation, and the conditions in which you use the product.

Wool Gilet for Babies & Children | The Perfect Extra Layer of Wool
A wool gilet is one of the most versatile garments for babies and young children. It provides extra warmth around the torso while keeping the arms and shoulders completely free to move. This keeps your child comfortable while playing, walking and exploring, without becoming too warm.
Woolskins wool gilets are made from high-quality European wool and designed to move with your child’s body. Thanks to wool’s natural temperature-regulating properties, a gilet forms an ideal mid-layer throughout almost the entire year.
Why choose a wool gilet?
A gilet provides extra warmth exactly where the body needs it most: around the chest, back and stomach.
A wool gilet offers:
- Natural temperature regulation
- Breathability
- Optimal freedom of movement
- Good moisture absorption
- Suitable for different seasons
- Comfort without overheating
As a result, a gilet is one of the most practical garments in a baby's wardrobe.
Warmth without bulky layers
Many parents notice that their child quickly becomes too warm in thick coats or multiple layers of clothing.
A wool gilet offers a smart solution.
During chilly days
The wool fibres retain warmth around the torso, keeping the body comfortably warm.
During fluctuating temperatures
When the temperature rises, wool wicks away excess heat. This keeps your child comfortable without feeling stuffy.
This makes a gilet ideal during spring, autumn and mild winter days.
Optimal freedom of movement
Because a gilet has no sleeves, your child can move freely.
This makes a gilet particularly suitable for:
- Playing
- Crawling
- Learning to walk
- Walking
- Everyday use
That is why many parents choose a gilet over a thick jumper or coat for indoor activities.
Perfect as a mid-layer
A wool gilet is designed to be easily combined with other garments.
Many parents use a gilet:
- Over a bodysuit
- Over a shirt
- Over a woollen jumper
- Under a winter coat
- Under a woollen snowsuit
This makes it easy to adjust the warmth to the conditions.
Suitable for babies and older children
A gilet remains practical beyond the baby stage.
Toddlers and young children also benefit from the advantages of wool during:
- Playing outdoors
- Walks
- Visits
- Holidays
- Everyday use
This means a wool gilet often remains one of the most frequently worn garments for years.
Natural temperature regulation
One of the greatest benefits of wool is its natural temperature regulation.
Warm when needed
The wool fibres retain body heat when the temperature drops.
Cooling when possible
When it gets warmer, wool wicks away heat and moisture so the body stays comfortable.
This means a wool gilet can be worn for several seasons.
Gentle on sensitive skin
The European wool used by Woolskins is carefully selected for softness and wearing comfort.
In addition, wool naturally provides:
- Good ventilation
- Moisture regulation
- Comfort without a clammy feeling
- Support for a stable body temperature
As a result, woollen clothing is often well tolerated by babies and children with sensitive skin.
Combine with other woollen baby clothing
A bodywarmer is a valuable addition to other products in the Woolskins collection.
Many parents combine a bodywarmer with:
- A woollen baby jacket
- Woollen baby trousers
- Woollen baby booties
- A woollen hat
- A woollen winter suit
This creates a comfortable outfit that can easily be adapted to the weather.
