Simply Merino: Made in New Zealand ~ #Review & #Giveaway

The one time I'm always sure to read labels is when I am purchasing clothing for both myself and the kids.  I mostly prefer purchasing items that are 100% or mostly natural fibers.  It is insane to know how much polyester clothing there is compared to other natural fabrics.

Let me introduce you to Simply Merino, which is a top notch Canadian company in Vancouver, BC (Yeah Canada!) which specializes clothing for kids (from infants to 12 years of age) made from 100% Merino wool, sourced and manufactured in New Zealand.

What is Merino wool?
This wool is from the Merino sheep and is a naturally fire resistant, which means she can sit by a fire place at the cottage or by a bon fire roasting marshmallows during camping.  "It is a natural fabric that breathes, keeping your child's body dry and comfortable as well as regulating their body temperature, keeping them cool when it's warm and warm when it's cool."  The texture of merino wool is much different than regular wool.  It is so soft that it has surprised many people who have never touch or felt merino wool before.



My daughter loves clothes.  She loves it when I bring her home a new outfit.  When she saw what I brought home she couldn't wait to try it on.  She does not understand the word "Later" so in a flash she started stripping to put it on.  She loves the colour and the outfit fits her perfectly.  You have to understand, my daughter is only 6 years old but she is wearing size 10 clothing.  She is that tall.  She has the tall gene from both my husband and my brother because they are over 6 ft tall.  Seriously, she is like a weed, I blink and she has gained 2 inches.  It is great for them to include a sizing chart in inches just to be sure.  Even though the website says 9/10 years but it is nice to double check with measurements.

Simply Merino has a simple range of quality products which is mostly gowns, sleepers, and two piece sets which could be worn on their own or as pajamas or as thermal wear.  They are easy to wash by popping into the washer and dyer but if possible to hand dry the garments (although this is not necessary).

After she put it on she said it was soft and comfy.  Then she asked where are the socks?  *Hint*Hint*  She is one funny kid and a genius and she takes after me...the genius part (if you told that to my husband he will disagree).  I have a Merino top and it is not as soft and comfy as my daughter's.  I am so jealous and maybe one day the company might consider making clothing for adults.

Giveaway!!

Simply Merino would like to offer one of my readers their own choice (colour & size) Merino Wool Thermal Underlayer (Top).

This contest will run from June 26th to July 19th, 2013 (midnight EST).  Winner, You have 72 hours to reply.  You must be 18+ Canadians Only.  Good Luck!
