Engel's baby shirt is made from 70% organic merino wool and 30% silk; it is very comfortable against the skin and the preferred material for babies and children with sensitive skin. It is an essential that baby can wear all year around. Wool is very breathable and has warming and cooling characteristics in comparison to cotton.
Engel's wool is finely crimped, does not itch and feels soft and cozy against baby's sensitive skin. The Merino sheep are organically raised without the use of pesticides on neither pastures nor animals.
CARE
Wool garments are naturally antibacterial and do not retain dirt or odors quickly, so you do not need to wash this garment frequently. Woollens are best washed with a wool shampoo by hand and with cold water (water shouldn't be ice cold as it can shock fibers as well). Hang to dry. If preferred, this garment can also be washed in the machine with lukewarm water (30 C) on a delicate or wool wash setting, short spin on lowest setting.
SIZING
Sizes given are based on European sizing. A size 50/56 means that it will fit babies with a head to feet length of 50 to 56 cm.

I agree with the other reviews so far, excellent quality and great investment. We live in the Pacific west coast and have had a hard time finding cozy, but lightweight longsleeve shirts without snaps for a 2 year old - Ava's has an amazing selection and fantastic quality. The colours are great
Love the colour on this shirt. I have difficulties finding non-onesie shirts for littles, but Ava’s apple tree have been a great source for beautiful wool tops, this one is no different. I was worried this one would be a bit too “girly” in colour, but I can honestly say it is seriously beautiful and would be great on either a girl or boy!
