Where to buy children’s clothes in wool, for newborn to teen, from carefully selected retailers in the UK, for ultimate comfort and style? This is our top recommendations for children’s clothing shops -and wool specialist, on the occasion of Campaign for Wool and Wool Week! (The above beautiful retro set is available from Kidscase, more info below.)
There’s nothing more comfortable and snug than layering your little ones during the coldest month, and wool is the best option for a warm and breathable base layer, in fine knit next to skin. Layer two can be beautifully knitted sweaters, cardigans, trousers and jumpsuits -accessorised with hats, mittens and socks of course! Wool is natural and oh’ so gorgeous!
Where to stock up on woollen children’s clothing in the UK:
