Kids' long-sleeved merino t-shirt from the premium New Zealand brand Little Flock of Horrors is a timeless and highly functional piece that will quickly find a firm place in every child's wardrobe. It combines natural material, thoughtful comfort, and universal use throughout the year – exactly what parents are looking for for their children's everyday wear.

Made from 100% super fine merino wool (18.5 micron), the t-shirt is exceptionally soft, breathable, and gentle even on very sensitive skin. Thanks to a weight of 200 g/m², it offers an ideal balance between lightness and warmth, making it perfect as a standalone layer or as a base for other clothing.

Functional clothing that works for you

Merino wool is known for its ability to actively regulate body temperature. In winter, it provides pleasant warmth, while in warmer conditions, it helps to dissipate excess body heat. This prevents the child from overheating or getting too cold, which is especially crucial for younger children who cannot yet regulate their own temperature.

Another significant benefit is merino's ability to wick away moisture. The material can absorb sweat and then gradually release it, keeping the skin dry even during active days, sleep, or when worn in a carrier or car seat.

The long sleeves make this t-shirt an ideal choice for colder days, but it can also be used year-round – as a base layer in winter or light outerwear in spring and autumn.

Kind to Skin, Practical for Parents

Thanks to the fineness of the fibers, the merino t-shirt is also suitable for children with sensitive skin or eczema. It doesn't scratch, irritate, and provides maximum comfort when worn.

Merino also has natural antibacterial properties that reduce odor. This keeps clothing fresh for longer and reduces the need for frequent washing – a practical advantage for daily life with children.

The wool used meets strict standards – it is tested by the Australian Wool Testing Authority (AWTA) and certified as 100% mulesing-free, guaranteeing an ethical and gentle production approach.

Uses that every parent will appreciate

The long-sleeved merino t-shirt is a versatile piece for various situations:

• for everyday wear at home and outdoors
• as a functional base layer in winter
• for carriers and slings (helps regulate temperature)
• for car seats when travelling
• for sleeping thanks to comfort and stable temperature
• for the playground, trips and kindergarten

How to care for merino?

We always recommend washing clothes in a suitable wool detergent before first use . Especially if you choose a detergent with lanolin, the clothes are immediately softer and less biting. When washing clothes for the first time, wash them separately or with similarly coloured garments, as the colour may be released, causing staining of otherwise coloured clothes.

Clothes can be washed in the washing machine using the wool programme at 30°C. Use only laundry detergent wool detergent and wash the garment inside out. Never add fabric softener or bleach to your washing machine, which can damage your favourite clothes. Do not use the dryer, hang the clothes out to dry. This care will keep your garment in beautiful condition.

Do not delay the removal of more significant stains, we recommend pre-washing as soon as possible using bile soap in cold water.

Merino wool is a very fine natural material and its durability is affected by the way and intensity of use. Merino from Little Flock of Horrors has no treatment and thus retains the maximum of its natural properties. Clothes need to be washed really gently.
