The Merino Effect & Natural Fibre Care Guide
At Cosi London, every piece is crafted from natural fibres chosen for their softness, safety, and incredible comfort.
Our merino wool and organic cotton blends work beautifully across both our baby collection and adult home range — each with their own unique “superpowers”.
Below, you’ll find everything you need to know about our materials and how to care for them so your Cosi pieces stay beautiful for years to come.
The Merino Effect — Nature’s Comfort Superpower
100% Extra-Fine Merino Wool (Baby Collection)
Our baby hats, mittens, and blankets are made using pure extra-fine merino wool — one of nature’s most gentle and protective fibres.
Why it’s perfect for newborns:
Ultra-soft and itch-free
Naturally breathable
Regulates body temperature
Helps keep babies warm without overheating
Hypoallergenic and kind to sensitive skin

Soft, breathable, and warm — without being heavy
Durable and long-lasting
Gentle on all skin types
Suitable for year-round use
A natural and sustainable alternative to synthetic fibres

Care Guide — Looking After Your Cosi Pieces
Natural fibres last beautifully when cared for correctly.
Here’s how to keep your merino and cotton-blend items feeling soft, fresh, and cosy.
Care for 100% Extra-Fine Merino (Baby Items)
Hand-wash or machine wash on a very gentle delicate/ wool cycle
Use cool water
Use a mild wool detergent
Do not tumble dry
Dry flat on a clean towel
Reshape gently while damp
Avoid hanging (this may stretch the fibres)
Pilling is natural with merino — it can be easily removed with a wool comb
Merino doesn’t need frequent washing — often, a gentle air-out is enough.
Care for Merino & Organic Cotton Blend (Adult Blankets)
Hand wash or Machine wash on a very gentle delicate/ wool cycle
Cool or 30°C water
Use a mild, non-bio detergent
Line-dry or flat-dry
Avoid excessive heat
Do not bleach
Store folded, not hung
This blend is naturally breathable and durable, perfect for everyday home use.
General Care Tips for All Natural Fibres
Allow items to air between uses
Store in a dry, cool place
Use cedar balls or lavender sachets to protect from moths
Avoid washing too often — natural fibres stay fresh longer
Keep away from direct heat sources
With the right care, your Cosi pieces will stay soft, beautiful, and comforting for years.
