Knitted in New Zealand from 100% undyed merino wool, this newborn beanie gets its soft, warm tone from the fibre itself — sourced from Philippa Cameron's black merino flock at Ōtemātātā Station in the South Island high country. No dyes, no chemical processing, nothing but pure wool against baby's head.

Seamless construction means no scratchy seams or uncomfortable edges — just gentle, stretchy coverage that stays in place without tight elastics. Merino naturally regulates temperature, keeping little heads warm after baths, during first outings, and through sleep without the risk of overheating. Measures approximately 13.5cm wide and 12.5cm from brim to crown (5.3" × 4.9").

Sized 0–3M. A beautiful, practical gift for new arrivals. Create a complete newborn gift set with our baby wrap, baby vest, and newborn booties — or grab them all in our Newborn Pēpē Merino Gift Set.
