Merino Wool Hat and Neck Warmer for Kids: A Set You Can Count On

Cold, windy weather and no idea how to dress your little one so they don’t get sweaty, chilly or too hot? We have a few tricks up our sleeve. An extra layer of merino wool here and there helps keep them at a comfortable temperature and makes spending time outdoors even more enjoyable. Meet our woolly creatures for kids and discover why even the littlest ones love them.

Merino wool – a soft companion for everyday adventures

We often automatically associate wool with itching and scratching. But the fibres in our merino wool are so fine that there’s no itch – something confirmed by mums of children with even particularly strong sensory sensitivities. Wool’s temperature-regulating properties allow heat and moisture to escape, keeping the skin dry. A wool hat keeps you warm even when wet, which isn’t a given with synthetics or cotton. That matters when you’re heading out to play!

What goes on their head? Ethical, safe wool hats for kids, dyed without chlorine or heavy metals.

This season, we have three children’s hat styles. What are they made from, and how do they differ?

.WILCZEK. – a timeless classic for little heads

Meet our most classic, minimalist and versatile hat: a miniature version of .WILK. Made from 100% RWS merino wool, it comes in a wide range of colours – more than a dozen! It’s a great choice for preschool and early primary school children, but remember to choose based on head circumference first and foremost. Older children also love our .RYŚ. hats.

.OWIECZKA. – a cable-knit hat for little ones

Here’s .OWCA.’s adorable little sister. Also made from 100% RWS merino wool, it fits head circumferences of approximately 38–48 cm, making it ideal for little ones at nursery and younger preschoolers. This medium-weight hat has a ribbed cuff for extra warmth around the ears.

.SÓWKA. is made from a blend of merino wool and combed cotton. Warm, fluffy and almost cloud-like, it’s a hat even little ones who don’t usually like hats will love.

A wool hat with or without a pom-pom? Have some fun!

Our .OMYK. pom-poms go with almost any hat and add a playful touch.

And around the neck? Choose a wool neck warmer. We have two creatures that specialise in keeping little necks cosy:

.BUBO. is .SÓWKA.’s inseparable companion. Like the rest of our .PUCHACZE. family, it’s knitted from an incredibly soft natural yarn made from 51% merino wool and 49% combed cotton.
