What is SnuggleWool?

A wonderful, machine washable merino wool blanket, with cotton flannel on the other side.

SnuggleWool™ is the trademark of the soft, pure, fleece pads which are fully washable one-inch deep pile lambswool made by Rittenhouse Industries. The wool, from the Merino sheep in Australia and New Zealand, is sliver-knit to a polyester backing and processed to withstand gentle machine washing. SnuggleWool™ products are designed for the baby to lie directly on the soft, deep pile lambswool. SnuggleWool™ pads are made from 100% pure, fine wool from the Merino sheep that has been hygienically scoured and treated to allow frequent machine washing and drying. The sliver knit fleece retains all of the natural qualities of wool (including absorption of moisture vapor, softness and cushioning) without requiring that the animal give its life. Manufactured by a family business in the USA.

The wool machine washes so well because it is woven over a 100% polyester grid. Use your gentle cycle. You can't see or feel the poly grid, because the wool is on one side and the cotton on the other. See cotton side color choices below.

Because in my experience doing photo sessions with babies, the Snugglewool blanket really does soothe baby. I'm convinced that babies truly are happier on Snugglewool than on other blankets. It sounds nutty but I have experienced this with so many different babies over 10 years that I'm convinced it's true. Babies are calmer and happier on wool. No, it's not one bit itchy. It's totally soft and snuggly!

snugglewool babyGreat for baby, but also for toddlers and preschoolers, too. Especially at naptime under newly potty trained kids, who might still have a nap time accident. It has saved my couch on many occasions.

Folded in half, it's perfect on the changing table. So much nicer than those icky vinyl changing pads. Just place a spare prefold diaper down on it when changing a poopy diaper to keep the wool clean, then wash that prefold as needed. Since it's wool, and airs out to fresh, it doesn't get yucky like the other kind of changing pads. I am convinced that babies enjoy diaper changing time when they are placed on a nice cozy Snugglewool blanket. Wool really is soothing to babies. They love it!

snugglewoolThis one is almost 3 years old and has been used constantly, and machine washed and machine dried on low many times with Eucalan woolwash. It's my daughter's favorite, and it has held up beautifully.

Now here's the same blanket (27x36 size) 1 years later, now it's 4 years old. Still holding up fine. It's a little thinner than it used to be but it's still prefectly snuggly!

We just love our snugglewools.
