Product Description

Great kids long johns made of Organic Merino Wool. They are very soft and very stretchy. Perfect as a base thermal layer or for sleeping in. 

Wool is great for the cooler months. In the winter it can be worn as a thermal base layer, and on warmer days on it’s own. Wool is also perfect for sleeping in as it is great as an inner layer because it helps to regulate the body's temperature and it can absorb much more moisture than cotton, keeping your little one dry and comfortable throughout the seasons.

Hand wash these natural untreated wool items in cold water using a dedicated wool wash liquid. Rinse in clean water of the same temperature. Press the excess liquid out using a clean towel and air dry flat.

Please note these come up small! Order a size bigger if you are in doubt! This is untreated wool, so if you machine wash these (always on a cold wool cycle!) they are likely to shrink a bit in the length, so again consider getting a bigger size! For more on sizes and care please look at care section!

All of Engel products are made of organic (GOTS certfied) virgin merino wool and produced in Germany. All the dyestuffs used are free from heavy metals and free from harmful AZO-dyes.

About The Brand+-

Engel

Engel is one of the original champions of untreated organic merino wool clothes. The wool comes from Merino sheep kept in their natural environment, organically farmed and therefore living a healthy and stress-free life. The usage of pesticides is forbidden both on pastures and on animals. All of Engel’s products are organic (GOTS certfied) and produced in Germany. All the dyestuffs used are free from heavy metals and free from harmful AZO-dyes.

The brands philosophy, which they have pursued from the start, is to provide their customers with high-quality, ecologically compatible, feel-good products which can be bought with a clear conscience and out of conviction.
Renewable raw materials are used and Engel make sure that the finished garments contain no pollutants. They also avoid completely, the use of substances that are harmful to health or the environment during the entire garment production process. Waste is avoided wherever possible.

Engel are committed to fair, safe employment for a fair wage, not only in our own company but throughout all the production stages.

Product Care+-

You don’t need to wash Engel products before wearing them for the first time. After the knitting process, all fabrics are washed to rinse out any excess dye residues, in the first place, and secondly to remove knitting oils and dirt.

Engel recommend that you wash their wool and wool/silk fabrics as little as possible. Wool regenerates in oxygen-rich air of its own accord and so it can also just be well-aired.

Wool Fleece
Only hand-wash fleece, even if the brand label suggest machine washing. Please look below for hand-washing advice on how to wash your fleece.

Wool & Wool/Silk
Washing by hand is recommended or possibly machine washing if you trust your machine to keep the same wash and rinse temperature throughout. In any case, you should use a wool detergent because these do not contain any enzymes (protease) and are pH-neutral. This is essential for your washing machine’s wool programme. However, a gentle baby shampoo can also sometimes be a good substitute when it comes to a quick hand-wash.

Leggings
Engel recommends hand washing. We do wash our wool in the machine on a cold deliciate/wool wash with very little spinning. The key is to keep the temperature the same and to pull the leggings back into shape when they come out of the wash, otherwise the legs will become shorter. Don't wring them, just pull each leg to stretch the fibres and prevent shrinking. For more on care please look at the care section!

Hand-washing
Briefly swirl around a little in plenty of luke-warm water, squeezing gently, using a mild detergent specially designed for wool, then rinse in water of the same temperature. Do not put in the tumble drier or on radiators as this will make the wool hard, brittle and felted. We recommend squeezing (not wringing) the products in a towel after rinsing, pulling them into shape while wet and drying them flat.

DO NOT: Rub, wring out or spin, expose to changes in temperature (first warm water then cold, or vice versa). Do not soak.

Cotton
You can machine-wash all Engel cotton products at 40 °C. Do not use detergents containing optical brighteners, as the colours may fade or change. Apart from this, the whitening agents that build up on the fibre are said to have a harmful effect on contact with skin. In addition, they are not easily biodegradable. A mild or colour detergent is better for the skin and the environment.

Machine-washing
Only if your machine has previously been tested to handle natural, untreated wools.

Select the Wool Wash/Hand Wash programme. “Cold” or max. 30 °C in the machine. This will keep your wool garments soft, elastic and absorbent. With machine-washing too, it is very important that the temperature is the same for both washing and rinsing and that you check that a low spin speed is either part of the programme or can be set manually – max. 400-500 rpm. You should also use a wool-wash detergent for machine-washing, as silk and wool are protein fibres which should basically be cared for with products in the slightly acid pH range (below 7 pH value). These products do not remove the natural oil and protect the fibres at the same time.

Size Guide

The Baby's and Kid's sizes always refer to their body heights in centimetres. This means items in size 50/56 are suitable for babies with a maximum body height of 56 cm. The adults sizing refer to the standard European size tables.

Merino Wool Long John’s- Natural

These long John’s are perfect for my toddler and for our mild, yet fluctuating winter climate. They work great as layers, and they’re perfectly fine on their own.

Cosy cosy cosy

These cream coloured thermals are so soft, warm and cosy. My kids sleep more soundly when they were them at night, I think because they help regulate temperature better and so they are just more content.
