ENGEL wool silk long-sleeve bodysuit STRIPED raspberry orchid

This is one of those rompers that, once you put it on, you’ll never want to go without again. This striped wool-silk long-sleeved romper from Engel Natur is warm, soft, and cozy—exactly what you want for a newborn or a sensitive baby.

Why wool-silk is so great for babies

As far as we are concerned, the combination of wool and silk is unparalleled. Wool helps your baby actively regulate their body temperature. It warms when needed and wicks away heat when it gets to be too much. That saves your baby energy, energy they need to grow and develop.

The silk makes this romper extra soft and provides a kind of natural shield around your baby. Many parents notice that their baby is calmer in wool-silk and can tolerate stimuli better. This material is often a huge relief for sensitive skin or skin prone to eczema.

Convenient for changing

This romper features an envelope neck with buttons, so you don't have to pull it over your baby's head. That saves hassle and prevents unnecessary heat loss. We consider that a major plus, especially with young babies.

Fit and sizing advice

Engel Natur’s wool-silk rompers run long and narrow. If you are in doubt between two sizes, we recommend choosing the larger size. Wool has a nice stretch, even for chubbier babies, allowing you to get more wear out of the romper. That is convenient during changes and more sustainable to use.

A nice detail: all sizes are the same price. Only fair.

Material and use

This romper is made of 70% organic wool and 30% silk. It feels soft, doesn’t itch, and is suitable for all seasons. Use it as a base layer in winter and surprisingly comfortably under a shirt in summer.

Also good to know: this romper makes a wonderful baby shower gift. Practical, ethically made, and something parents will actually use.

Washing instructions for wool-silk

You don't need to wash wool-silk often. Simply airing it out is usually enough. Only wash when absolutely necessary and use a mild wool detergent with lanolin, such as Lanalicious wool detergent. Use a small amount of detergent, wash at a low temperature, and remove the romper from the machine immediately to prevent stripes. Gently reshape and lay flat to dry.
