Merino Made Easy
5 Things Parents
Don't Know About Merino
If you've always thought wool was itchy, difficult to care for or only for winter, you might be surprised.
Here are five reasons more families are choosing Australian Merino for everyday life.
1. Wash Less
Merino naturally resists odour, so it doesn't need washing after every wear. Most days, simply airing it overnight is enough to keep it feeling fresh.
Less washing. More wearing.
✓ Naturally odour resistant
✓ Machine washable
✓ Made for everyday life
2. Comfort Through
Changing Temperatures
Merino helps regulate body temperature naturally—warm on cold mornings and breathable when children are active. It keeps them comfortable through school drop-offs, outdoor play and changing weather.
One jumper. More moments.
✓ Warm without bulk
✓ Breathable during active play
✓ Comfortable through changing weather
3. Surprisingly Soft
Not all wool feels the same. ATLY CREW uses superfine 19.5-micron Australian Merino, making it beautifully soft, breathable and comfortable for everyday wear—even for many children with sensitive skin.
Soft where it matters most.

4. Childhood Is Messy
Merino naturally helps resist everyday dirt, odours and small spills, making it practical for climbing, exploring and everything children get up to between washes.
Comfort lets them be kids.
5. Made to Last
A thoughtfully made Merino jumper is worn more often, washed less and enjoyed season after season. The best value isn't always the lowest price—it's the piece your child reaches for again and again.
Worn more. Loved longer.

“I had been searching for a Merino jumper and was concerned wool might feel scratchy. The wool is extremely fine, beautifully made and most importantly, not scratchy at all.”

“Both of my fussy dressers love this jumper. ‘It’s so soft, Mummy,’ they tell me. One wore it three days in a row, and it goes easily into the machine on a wool wash.”

A Few Things Parents Often Ask
Everything you need to feel confident choosing Merino.
Is Merino itchy?
Not all wool feels the same. ATLY CREW uses 100% superfine 19.5-micron Australian Merino, chosen for its beautifully soft feel. Many families tell us it is the first wool their children happily wear.
Does Merino need special washing?
Our jumpers are machine washable on a cold, gentle wool cycle. Because Merino naturally resists odour, it usually needs washing less often than cotton or synthetic fleece. Use wool detergent, reshape and dry flat.
Is Merino only for winter?
Merino naturally helps regulate temperature, keeping children warm when it is cold while remaining breathable when they are active. It is ideal for layering through autumn, winter and cool spring days.
Why does Merino cost more?
Merino is a premium natural fibre. Because it can be worn more often, washed less and enjoyed season after season, it often becomes one of the hardest-working pieces in a child’s wardrobe.
Is it suitable for sensitive skin?
Every child is different, but our superfine Australian Merino is selected for its softness and breathability. Many parents of children with sensitive skin tell us it is one of the few knits their child enjoys wearing.
