City Chic Peplum. A little less country, a little less rock n roll but a lot more fancy for work, and evening out or shopping for organic produce in style. Contoured fitted bodice with the same overall shape and necks as our popular woman’s top, cut at the middriff for a sophisticated peplum bottom. The front profile lays flat across the belly to avoid any unflattering puffing of the fabric, while angling to the back for a gentle lowering and slight ruffle. This will allow for a perfect pregnancy top while also making you feel beautiful at any stage in life.
Crew – rounded neck
Scoop – slightly lower rounded neck
V-Neck – Close to Scoop depth but with a V at the front
Hood- lined or single layer
Breast Feeding Friendly
Deep Scoop – Deeper with wider openeing across the shoulders
Deep V-Neck – Like the deep scoop with the wider opening across shoulders
Available in 100% Merino Wool Jersey or Dreamweight Fabric
The jersey fits more true to size. The dreamweight is stretchy and most people tend to size down 1 or 2 sizes.

Tank Visual to show differences in the options
Great for tops, tanks and dresses. The Dreamweight is also available for bottoms as well.
We have been adding some links to some interesting reads about superwash merino wool and the production of our fabrics.
All of our Heavyweight fabrics use what is called “feltable” wool or wool that has scales to knit together almost like velcro does to make it thick and great for diapering and warm clothing yet is still temperature regulating. We have been mostly using these fabrics for years, but recently introduced the Dreamweight and Jersey as lighter weight options in our line up. These 2 fabrics are superwash.
Superwash is a process that was introducted in the 1970s as a way to allow wool to be more practical for the mass population. Some people didn’t want thick sweaters nor had the patience to hand wash things. The processes uses chlorine to remove the scales that stick together, then the fabric undergoes a softening process. It is like putting the fiber into a pool and then hair conditioner afterwards. Both stages require water and chemicals, and can look scary. This process has gotten some bad press over the years. There are some new processes being introduced; spoken about in the articles below. Take a look and decide for yourself what is best for your family. We do offer a variety of options and intend to introduce more over the up coming months and years most of which will be “feltable” style because that is our main fabric line up.
I didn’t fully understand what superwash was when I first got some years ago to try out. I do tend to run hot, and had dabbled for short times over the years in using these fabrics. I have a dress I made myself that I love, it keeps me feeling cool on hot summer days, but still comfortable in air conditioned spaces as well. I had stopped offering these garments more because I was streamlining our offereings and wanted to really work on our heavyweight process and didn’t divide the available capital investments among too many fabrics.
I had a few people beg me to bring in Jersey and lighteweight fabrics. I brought in the Jersey and Dreamweight at that time. I was aware that a small handful of people were concerned about superwash, but also that many had no idea what it was any it confused them with too much information. I did look around and found that most wool makers didn’t opening announce it, but I was open to discuss if anyone asked me. I trust the makers of the fabrics and the regulations of Europe and USA that the process couldn’t be that bad anyways.
When I learned more about some people having concerns about superwash, I did some research and spoke with my knitter again to verify my understanding about this topic. They have been in the industry for years in the US. They get their yarn from Europe, and offer both Superwash and Feltable wool types. He said that they have spent hours and thousands of dollars testing our different methods. Their testing resulted in unusable wool fabric that was severly damaged. They usually do the knitting, and have navigated to allow the spinners to do what they do best and not reinvent the wheel. The Jersey maker uses charguers in the US which is the only facility to do so in America.
We have been undergoing a lot of growth with a lot of products and I do apologize for not being more clear when these were introduced. I have had a couple more people inquiring, so I decided better late than never, regreting not investing the time earlier. There is a lot of anecdotal information out there, but I did try to find some scientific articles discussing the process and some of their findings. I searched microplastics and superwash and didn’t find anything, but will continue to research. I do not want to offer a product that I don’t feel confortable with.
Our superwash is processed by Charguers, an international leader in textile fabrication with an division in USA. They have aided in further testing of processes as well. They are using updated technology to reduce the environmental impacts of the superwash process, and continue to work on sustainability as part of their mandate. A lot of this information has some proprietary information, the whole textile industry is a challenge to navigate. From water and pesticide use in cotton production as well as the dyeing process, bamboo fabric production, availability of knowledge and machinery to produce fabrics in locations with decent labour and environmental laws. I do feel confident in my current supply chain, the people working with me and our process. I love using wool because of the reduced environmental impacts of the production, low impact dyeing process, limited water consumption and a sustainability of the fiber itself.
I truly appreciate the challenge to forge forward and have a positive impact on the people around me but the planet itself. Taking a small kitchen table business to market is no easy job, and I am grateful for people that support what we do as well as my fellow makers and always look for ways improve our process make sure we are doing things the best way possible.

Machine wash wool?
Doesn’t that sound like a dream? Well lets make it a reality. We have partnered with Unicorn Laundry Care products because they are the best product I have found for our wool. Find a retailer near you or in our shop.
Our wool is thick and soft and likes to hold fluid. Which means it will hold onto soap and detergent unless it is rinsed and washed well. So we highly recommend using not only very little soap, but also to rinse well.
Unicorn Beyond Soft in a natural Fabric Conditioner. It helps keeps the fibers soft and healthy.
Step 1 Dissolve 1 TBSP of Unicorn Beyond Clean in some water
Step 2 Add wool to your washing machine
Step 3 Add dissolved detergent to the dispenser
Step 4 Turn on washer to Cool setting (use wool setting or lower spin)
Do a secondary rinse cycle, aka rinse and spin with pre-dissolved Beyond Soft Conditioner.
We also recommend doing this every so often to refresh your wool between washes. It removed light soiling and neutralized salts
Wool has been used for centuries in all climates. It keeps you warm in the winter and cool in the heat. Reducing night sweats and rashes
Wool is a naturally breathable fiber reducing rashes and keeping baby dry.
Our in-house proprietary dyeing process not only gives us stunning colours but also pre-treats the wool making it machine washable.
We had craft every item in our workshop. Each item is lovingly cut and sewn by our team. We appreciate your business and love doing what we do.
Wool sops up humidy and moisture and it also repells it. Its called a miracle fiber by many. The lanolin helps the wool repel fluids back to the diaper, then as it becomes too much it absorbs a tremendous amount before feeling damp.
Our stuff is adorable. It really is. Come join our Flock and you can see all of the custom made items we have made over the years. Our brand is more than clothing, its about family.
