DISANA

We believe in pure, unspoiled nature right from the moment we select our raw materials. Only organic cotton and organic pure new Merino wool which has been independently inspected and certified is used for our disana articles.

We are not only concerned about avoiding contaminants in the fibers of our thread: people’s living conditions and environmental protection in the countries where they are cultivated are also important criteria we bear equal responsibility for, just like all the other links in the production chain.

We are a founding member of the International Association of Natural Textiles (IVN) and are committed to adhering to its guidelines for natural textile production; these are recognized as the most comprehensive, strictest guidelines in the world.

As a general rule we recommend choosing the size based on your child's height.

Disana's clothing is designed to grow with your child so they do run bigger providing room to grow.

0-3 months - 50/56 cm = 19.5/22 inches tall
3-6 months - 62/68cm = 24/27 inches tall
6-12 months - 74/80cm = 29/31.5 inches tall
12-24 months - 86/92cm = 33/36 inches tall
3-4 years 98/104cm = 38/41 inches tall
5-6 year 110/116cm = 43/45.5 inches tall

WOOL CARE

The beauty of woolen items is they don’t need to be washed as often as other fibers.
Wool fibers resist dirt and odors because they are naturally anti-microbial (specifically the lanolin found in wool is both anti-bacterial and anti-fungal).

AIR OUT
Airing out Disana wool items is often all you need to do to freshen them up.

SPOT CLEAN
If food gets on the knit or boiled wool lightly brush off of the area or spot clean the area. This may be all that is needed for the article to be ready for wear again.

STAINS
For stains, spot cleaning with Disana’s Ox-gall soap works magic.

ACTIVE CLEANING - WASH
Use a wool specific shampoo. We recommend using: Disana Shampoo, and Disana’s Lanolin conditioner.
(Disana wool is untreated with chemicals so they are not shrink resistant).

Hand washing is a simple way to keep your items looking new. From experience we have found it is easier to wash each wool item as it needs washing, rather than stockpiling them for a wash day.

Add your item(s) to cool or lukewarm water.

Add wool wash, wash your items without rubbing the fibers - swirl them around and dunk multiple times.

Gently squeeze the articles out - roll the item(s) in a towel and step on them. This will remove the excess water effectively.

Reshape and air dry laying them flat or on a drying rack.

(Avoid drying them near heat sources (for example near the fireplace) as this can cause shrinkage).

WOOL WASH SETTING ON WASH MACHINE
You may also be able to use the wool wash setting on your washing machine. Make sure the washing temperature and the rinse water are the same, so the fibers do not get "shocked" and shrink.

FEELING GOOD
Washing wool can be intimidating at first, but it becomes easier and, dare I say meditative. It feels good to be washing beautiful, sustainable and healthy clothing.
