Wool Teddy Zip Vest

Cuddly soft teddy vest made from 100% organic virgin wool that perfectly insulates the body from the outside world. It has two side pockets.

Product description

The Halfen® Teddy Vest is made by hand. This wool vest is very comfortable and offers your child protection in all seasons. Even on cold and rainy days, the vest keeps you cozy and warm, making it a great companion. The fabric is very stretchy and can therefore be worn for almost any activity.

The GOTS-certified wool consists of pure kbT (controlled organic animal husbandry) new wool. During the felting process, new wool is felted through moisture, pressure, friction and heat. The advantage of milled fabrics: they are denser, stronger, warmer and more durable than other fabrics. As a result of felting, the individual fibers become matted with the neighboring fibers in such a way that they can no longer be loosened by everyday wear and tear. The properties of wool mean ideal insulation between the body and the outside world. Wool is naturally water and dirt repellent, antibacterial and odorless. A real MVP!

The Halfen Strickerei is a traditional, fourth-generation family business established in 1928.

Outside: 100% milled new wool from controlled organic animal husbandry (KbT) and GOTS certified.

Wool

Our recommendation to always read the care instructions in the respective garments, the special composition of the manufacturer and the origin of the materials often require individual care.

Merino wool and virgin wool
Manufacturers always recommend hand washing, cold and without temperature fluctuations, no wringing and rubbing of the garment. Basically, you should use a laundry bag for your wool laundry, this reduces the friction on the washing machine drum and thus the risk of felting. Textiles made of wool do not get dirty as quickly as cotton textiles, it is usually sufficient to air the textiles and only wash them when they are really dirty.
Always wash wool on the wool cycle and make sure the setting uses cold water, not 30 degrees. Basically, the older the washing machine is, the worse the wool program is, which can lead to problems. Also pay attention to the spin speed, it should be greatly reduced and no final spin should be set.
You should also use a high-quality, organic wool detergent and not a conventional one. Dry your woolen laundry lying on a towel and carefully pull it into shape after washing. Please never let your woolen clothes dry in the blazing sun, in the tumble dryer or on the radiator.

With our Joha and FUB products, we have had good experiences washing them at 30 degrees on a wool cycle. (but we do not assume any guarantee)

boiled wool
Consists of organic new wool, this wool should be gently cleaned. Wool has a high proportion of lanolin (wool fat). This wool fat gives boiled wool items their easy-care and dirt-repellent properties. In the case of light soiling, it is usually sufficient to shake out or brush out the boiled wool garments; the miracle brush is suitable here. Unpleasant odors will disappear if you hang your clothes out in the fresh air overnight.
For larger soiling, the manufacturer recommends washing the clothing inside out by hand. Virgin wool must not be wrung out and dried in the dryer.

Here, too, we as the BabyBox team have had good experiences with the cold wool washing program and clean our boiled wool parts in this way, of course we cannot guarantee this, as the manufacturer recommends hand washing.

Briefly summarized:

• Sort laundry by colour, temperature and material
• Heavy-duty detergents and color detergents are sufficient as standard detergents
• Pay attention to the manufacturer's instructions for the amount of detergent to be used
• Select the washing program according to the information on the label
• Make sure the drum is filled correctly

Briefly summarized:

• Drying in the fresh air is best
• Do not hang sensitive materials in direct sunlight
• Dry the knit flat
