Warm wool balaclava for outdoors.
Smooth organic interlock merino wool knit with flat seams that breaths and doesn’t itch. The balaclava is available in two different sizes. The smaller usually fits newborns (0-3 months) and the larger until the first birthday (3-12 months).
Made out of 100% certified and breathable organic merino wool. The undyed and unprocessed wool is safe also for babies. Pure wool keeps you warm even when damp, neutralizes odors and doesn’t require frequent washing. Wool with no synthetics mixed in is also a fire-resistant material that returns to nature at the end of its life cycle.
Hand-made in Artjärvi Finland. No washing required before use.

The surplus wool swathes are a part of our ecological production: white wool is carded for duvet and pillow filling and colorful wool gets used in other manufacturing companies for making oil absorbent rugs and parquet underlays
All our products are manufactured using 100% renewable energy, and we utilize renewable geothermal heat in keeping our manufacturing, storage and production facilities warm
Ruskovilla balaclava and mittens, those are our favorite products that have been used as long as they have fitted. And then they have been passed on to little cousins.

Wool balaclavas I've bought to all of the babies in our extended family since at least our hot heads always ended up having soaking wet cotton balaclavas.
