The mittens in 100% organic merino wool are designed with a fold-over design for a perfect fit and extra protection. With the fold-over, you can easily adjust the length of the mittens and ensure that warmth is kept tightly around little hands and wrists, no matter how much they move. The fibres in the material are soft and will feel comfortable against the skin.
Byhappyme's wool mittens are especially useful if the weather is a little cooler or if your baby has sharp nails and tends to scratch their face. The soft yet strong material protects delicate skin from accidental scratches.
Is it true that wool has health benefits?
Studies show that babies and children who wear wool against their skin have a lower risk of catching colds and illness, especially when the temperature drops. This is due to the material's superior ability to regulate body temperature and keep the skin dry, creating an optimal climate close to the body whether the child is active or sitting still.
Merino wool's properties are a win-win for your child
Merino wool is an amazing material with a wealth of natural properties. Many people don't realise it, but the material is naturally temperature regulating. This means it keeps your child's hands warm when the weather is cold and allows the hands and skin to breathe when the temperature rises.
Requires less washing and protects the environment
Wool has the amazing property of being self-cleaning, which means it rarely needs washing. In fact, a simple airing can often be enough to freshen up your mittens. This is not only extremely convenient and time-saving for busy parents, but also a more environmentally friendly solution as it minimises both water and energy consumption from the washing machine.
3 certifications mean top quality and more than you'd expect - peace of mind for you and your child

Airing - a good alternative to washing
To preserve the life and appearance of the wool body, airing is an excellent alternative to frequent washing. Merino wool fibres have natural antibacterial properties that prevent odours and bacteria from penetrating the fabric. This means that the bodysuit with American closure can be used several times between washes, which saves you time and reduces wear and tear, extending the life of the garment. A thorough airing is often enough and helps refresh the wool, keeping it looking and smelling great for longer. This is not only more convenient, but also more sustainable as it reduces water and energy consumption when washing. Even after many months of use, the bodysuit will look almost new if cared for properly.
Avoid soaking
Wool is a natural material known for its thermal insulation and softness, but requires gentle care. Soaking can damage the fibres of wool by weakening or shrinking them. Therefore, wash wool gently on 800 revolutions in the washing machine with mild wool detergent and avoid prolonged soaking.

Skip a wash if there are no visible stains. Wool regenerates itself, and airing it outdoors overnight can be a great alternative.
Yes, there are definitely differences, and it does matter which type of merino wool you choose for textiles.
Byhappyme uses some of the highest quality merino wool for our wool products.
When discussing wool and quality, the “fineness” of the wool quickly becomes a topic. The unit of measurement used for wool is called MICRON.
MICRON is an abbreviation for Micron, a unit used to describe the diameter of wool fibers. One micron is one thousandth of a millimeter (0.001 mm). When talking about wool, the micron measurement is used to assess the fineness of the fibers. For Merino wool, a lower micron measurement indicates a finer and softer quality.
Standard merino wool typically ranges from 20-23 microns, while fine merino wool falls between 18-20 microns. Byhappyme uses wool with a micron count of 19, placing it at the top end of the quality scale.
The finer the wool, the fewer coarse fibers it has, and therefore, it is less likely to itch. Most wool on the market today is treated to minimize itching, so the idea that wool itches is becoming a myth. However, individual sensitivity can vary.
If you find that wool itches, we recommend wearing the item for 10-15 minutes until it reaches body temperature. Once the wool is warmed to body temperature, many people find that the itching sensation disappears. Fortunately, we receive a lot of positive feedback from our customers about our Byhappyme quality. Many even express that the quality is surprisingly soft and comfortable to wear.
At Byhappyme, we are proud to offer merino wool with three internationally recognized certifications. This is quite unique in itself.
It is also important for us to demonstrate responsibility towards our customers and their well-being. Environmental considerations are, of course, also important, and with these certifications, we can show a genuine interest in minimizing our environmental impact.
All of Byhappyme's wool products are covered by these three certifications:
OEKO-TEX®: Ensures that textile products are free from harmful substances and tested for health-damaging chemicals.
GOTS: Global Organic Textile Standard guarantees organic status and socially responsible production from raw materials to finished products.
Woolmark: Indicates authenticity and quality of wool products that meet the standards for pure new wool, ensuring fiber content, durability, and comfort.
Our certifications are carefully selected and cover various criteria. If you would like to learn more, you can click through to read more about each certification.
Most natural materials shrink during washing, and merino wool is no exception. To be on the safe side, we state a maximum shrinkage of 8% in our care instructions, but our actual tests show a shrinkage of 2-3% when the item is treated correctly according to the recommendations. This is on the lower side, and we are naturally proud of it.
