Product Description

Details

The Sleep Store Merino Knit Vest is crafted from 100% merino wool and will keep your little one's core warm in the cooler months, while still allowing freedom of movement for busy days of play. The stylish seed stitch feels lovely to the touch and gives a lovely visual texture. Merino wool is naturally temperature regulating and breathable, meaning it helps keep little bodies warm without overheating. It’s an ideal layering piece for in-between seasons or for those moments when long sleeves just aren’t needed.

Designed as practical daywear, this vest is a versatile wardrobe staple. Layer it over a bodysuit, long sleeve top, or dress for extra warmth through the chest and back, while still allowing arms to move freely. It’s perfect for active toddlers and older children who need warmth without restriction.

This collection of Merino knitwear comes in a range of classic colours to complement any wardrobe. The cardigans are available in sizes for baby's through to older kiddies - 0-3 months - 8 years.

Highlights

  • 100% merino wool: Soft, breathable knit that keeps little bodies warm without overheating.
  • Core warmth layer: Adds insulation through the chest and back while freeing the arms.
  • Seed stitch texture: Classic knit finish with beautiful visual detail.
  • Snuggly: Perfect at keeping their little core snuggly and warm without the need for a full jumper.

  • Freedom to move: Ideal for busy toddlers and older kids.
  • Easy care: Machine washable making garments easy to care for.

Learn how to care for your Merino Knitwear with Amanda

Watch Amanda explain the Woolmark Standard


Care for your Wool

As with many wool garments, you may experience a bit of pilling on this garment. Please note this is often due to a soft fibre such as merino wool rubbing against other fabrics, such as flannelette sheets. We consider pilling a normal part of wear and tear on a soft merino wool garment. We could have treated the fabric much more to reduce pilling but then it would lose its lovely, snuggly softness.

Please take care with moths

Protect your Wool from small holes created by insects such as moths and silverfish. Ensure your garments are clean before storing. Lavender and Cedar wood are noxious to these pests so storing your garments with these scents or a moth trap will help protect your knitwear further.


Love your Merino and it will love you back!

What are the major differences between The Sleep Store Merino Wool garments?

Basics Merino
Our entry level 100% Merino Wool. At 190gsm it is the lightest weight of our 100% merino wool offerings but not as fine (or silky smooth to touch) as our Deluxe Rib or Jersey Merino.  It is a great affordable and durable option.
All Seasons Merino Tencel 
This is an everyday collection made from a 70% Merino Wool / 30% Tencel. The Jersey blend fabric has a silky, cool feel, and is the lightest Merino wool blend option at 165gsm. The Tencel blend makes it great for wearing all year round and ideal for sensitive skin.  
Jersey Merino 
Made from 100% New Zealand merino wool, it is super smooth and soft. It feels like high-quality t-shirt fabric and has a comfortable stretch - not as much as the Deluxe Merino rib. Great for layering all year round at 200gsm. 
Deluxe Merino Rib
Made from 100% New Zealand merino wool, this range uses a rib knit merino wool, meaning its structure consists of rows of stitching. This gives this merino wool a beautiful stretch with cross-grain elasticity. It is so soft and great all year round at 220gsm. 
Fleece Merino Tencel
Super warm at 270gsm, ideal for cold nights and Wintry days. Made from a blend of 68% Merino Wool, 29% Tencel and 3% Elastane, this range is super soft and fluffy on the inside with a sweatshirt feel on the outside. 
Premium mid-weight Merino 
A beautiful soft and thick 100% Merino Wool interlock which allows for comfortable stretch whilst retaining shape.  A lovely warm option, at 250gsm it is our warmest 100% merino options.  This is our only 100% merino that is available in prints.  
Merino Knitwear
Crafted from 100% merino wool. Comes in 3 different stitch patterns depending on the garment - seed stitch, classic stitch and brioche stitch.
