About the certificate

The Woolmark certificate is one of the most renowned quality marks for wool products, including merino wool. It is issued by The Woolmark Company, which has been taking care of wool standards around the world since 1964.

This international trademark, depicting a stylised ball of wool, is a guarantee that the product is made from a natural, renewable and biodegradable raw material.

Merino wool, known for its exceptional softness and delicacy, is an ideal material for producing knitted hats, scarves and blankets for children. Its natural thermoregulatory properties provide warmth on cold days and breathability when it is warmer, making it irreplaceable in the wardrobe of the youngest.

• Composition – means that the product contains pure virgin wool (100% wool) or a blend with wool with specific parameters.
• Durability – woven and knitted fabrics must pass rigorous tests for abrasion, pilling and stretchability.
• Functional properties – certified products retain softness, breathability and the ability to regulate temperature.
• Production process – Woolmark supports sustainable production and ensures proper treatment of animals (including wool from ethical farms).

About the certificate

The Oeko-Tex Standard 100 – Class I certificate is one of the most famous international quality marks for textile products, confirming their safety for users. It is particularly important for products intended for infants and small children, such as clothes, blankets, nappies or bedding.

What does the Oeko-Tex Standard 100 certificate mean?

This certificate is awarded to textile materials that have undergone rigorous testing for substances harmful to health. The tests include:

• pesticides,
• heavy metals,
• formaldehyde,
• allergenic and carcinogenic dyes,
• phthalates and other chemicals that may negatively affect health.

Class I – the highest level of security

Textile products are classified into four categories, with Class I representing the most stringent requirements, for products intended for infants and children up to 3 years of age. Fabrics must be completely free of harmful substances, as children have particularly sensitive skin and often put fabrics in their mouths.

Benefits of choosing products with the Oeko-Tex Standard 100 Class I certificate:

• Health safety – no toxic or allergenic substances,
• Quality guarantee – fabrics are tested by independent laboratories,
• Comfort of use – gentle and safe even for sensitive baby skin,
• Ecological approach – production that meets high safety standards and limits the use of harmful chemicals.

This certificate is awarded to finished products as well as fabrics, yarns and accessories, which means it can be found on a wide range of textile products for children.

About the certificate

GOTS certification categories:

• “ORGANIC”: Products must contain at least 95% certified organic fibers.
• “MADE WITH (X%) ORGANIC”: Products must contain a minimum of 70% certified organic fibers.

GOTS certification criteria include:

• Raw materials: Fibres must come from organic farming, grown without the use of chemical pesticides, artificial fertilisers or genetically modified organisms.
• Production process: Includes rigorous standards for fabric processing, dyeing and finishing, with an emphasis on minimizing environmental impact and eliminating harmful chemicals.
• Working conditions: The GOTS standard places great emphasis on respecting workers’ rights, including ensuring decent working conditions, fair wages and the prohibition of forced and child labour.
