HVID: merino wool knitwear for newborns and children

HVID from Belgium knits clothing from extra-fine Italian merino wool – Oeko-Tex certified and mulesing-free. Production takes place in a small family factory, with finishing in a sheltered workshop. Why wool works so well for babies is covered in our guide merino wool or cotton.

The knitted Vest Harvey

The Vest Harvey is knitted seamlessly in one piece – so there are no seams pressing on sensitive skin. The elastic neckline stretches when putting it on and contracts again afterwards; anyone who has ever pulled a jumper over a baby's head knows why that is an argument. Available in sizes 2, 4 and 6 years.

Booties for warm feet

The booties in soft merino wool keep little feet warm without constricting – particularly practical in the first months, when socks keep going missing. They make a good part of the first baby kit.

Newborn Beanie Fonzie

The Newborn Beanie Fonzie for 0 to 6 months sits reliably thanks to its ribbed knit, without pressing. Merino wool is breathable and antibacterial – which also makes it interesting for children with eczema or sensitive skin.

Beanie Fonzie: from baby to mum

The Beanie Fonzie comes in four sizes: 4 to 18 months, 2 to 5 years, 6 to 10 years – and in adult sizes. So if you like, you can wear the same hat as your child. The muted colours go with everything.

Care: wash less

Merino wool is self-cleaning – usually it is enough to air the pieces overnight. If washing is needed, do it by hand at a maximum of 20 to 30 °C with wool detergent. Do not wring, do not rub. That way the knits keep their shape for years and can be passed on.

You will find the whole selection in the HVID collection – more knitwear under headwear and blankets. How best to combine wool layers in winter is shown in the guide layering principle.
