Boiled Wool Hooded Children's Jacket - Walnut

A boiled wool jacket, perfect for autumn and winter days at school or play. With cuffs at the wrists to trap heat, these jackets are a must!

• 100% organic boiled wool
• front pockets perfect for collecting while adventuring
• hooded for extra coverage

This is made in 100% organic Merino wool certified by IVN as BEST, which meets and exceeds GOTS organic standards.

These standards are so high that even oils that lubricate knitting machines have to be analysed. With Engel, you can be assured that their dyes are baby-safe, eco-safe and that all cotton threads and finishes are natural too. All Engel's poppers are nickel-free.

All certified organic wool comes from sheep which have been farmed organically and with high animal welfare standards. At Cambridge Baby we always make sure that no wool comes from farms which practise mulesing.

Please note that under EU labelling regulations, stating the type of wool is not allowed, only a statement of "100% wool" or "new wool" is allowed. However, this garment is made from 100% organic Merino wool.

Everyday Care
Merino wool is naturally self-cleaning. For everyday use hang your wool clothing to air rather than wash.

Read what Engel has to say about caring for your new clothes.

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

Our products are all made using 100% ecologically sound methods and have no chemical finish. And we never make use of dyes that could be a health hazard or textile finishes which could cause skin irritations, for example, or harm the environment during or after processing. We are not allowed to do this under the strict manufacturing criteria with which we must comply to obtain the IVN BEST or GOTS certifications for our products.

We basically recommend that you wash our 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."

How to Hand Wash Wool
When washing is required we recommend washing your wool garment by hand. When handwashing, great care is needed to ensure the garment does not shrink or 'felt':

• Dilute your wool detergent in cool water. We recommend one of our liquid wool shampoos in our fabric care section here. Use a thermometer to ensure the temperature is under 30°C.
• Add your clothing, gently stirring and squeezing the water through.
• Rinse through using water cooler than 30°c.
• To dry, gently squeeze water out and wrap the wool clothes in a towel to remove the excess water. Air-dry naturally avoiding direct heat.
