Our cloud-soft, 100% superfine merino extends the warmth of a cuddle while keeping your baby cozy and comfortable. Knit from 100% plant-dyed yarn, the Sawa is sure to be a forever favorite.

The Sawa features a refined honeycomb stitch — both elegant and irresistibly cozy. We offer hand chain-stitched personalization on this mid-weight style. Please allow 10 business days for hand embroidery, with slightly longer turnaround during peak periods.

Our merino is certified through NATIVA™ — a global wool sourcing standard ensuring the highest levels of animal welfare, social responsibility, and regenerative agriculture from farm to fiber. Crafted in Romania.

Natural Comfort for Better Sleep + Sensitive Skin
Exceptionally soft, superfine merino surrounds the body in breathable, natural comfort for deeper, more restorative sleep and skin that needs a little more care. Its remarkable fibers naturally respond to changes in temperature and humidity—releasing excess heat when warm, insulating when cool, and managing moisture to maintain a comfortable microclimate around the body and skin. Clinical research has shown meaningful benefits from superfine merino for both sleep quality and mild-to-moderate eczema, including in studies comparing wool with cotton and polyester. With no synthetic fibers or microplastics, it’s a beautifully natural way to rest.

FSA/HSA eligible: All AU Baby blankets may be submitted for reimbursement for qualifying sensitive-skin conditions including eczema, psoriasis, and contact dermatitis. Adult blankets are also eligible for common sleep-related conditions including insomnia, sleep apnea, and restless legs syndrome.

Standards: NATIVA™ · Responsible Wool Standard (RWS) · Woolmark Natural Coloration Technology

• NATIVA™ — A rigorous standard for responsibly sourced Merino wool that brings together animal welfare, environmental stewardship, and social responsibility with blockchain-backed traceability. This exceptional level of transparency allows wool to be traced through the supply chain to its origin.
• Responsible Wool Standard (RWS) — The world’s leading voluntary standard for responsible wool, with rigorous requirements for sheep welfare, land stewardship, and social responsibility. RWS incorporates the Five Freedoms of animal welfare, prohibits mulesing, and requires independent third-party certification from the farm through the supply chain—providing assurance that the wool comes from sheep treated responsibly and farms committed to progressive land management.
• Woolmark Natural Coloration Technology — Our natural dyeing process was the first of its kind to receive Woolmark certification, validating its performance for wool at commercial scale.

Primary Benefits: Temperature regulation · Moisture management · Sensitive skin · Sleep

Our Heirloom Merino is colored in Italy using a best-in-class natural dyeing process that draws pigment from herbs, roots, flowers, leaves and tree bark. A library of more than 200 natural ingredients creates consistent, lasting color at commercial scale, without conventional synthetic dyes, chemical additives, dye powders or extracts. Even the colorfastness is achieved naturally, using other plants rather than chemical or heavy-metal mordants and fixatives.

This innovative approach significantly reduces the chemicals and toxic substances associated with conventional textile dyeing while creating color from renewable natural sources. Production waste is repurposed as agricultural fertilizer or biomass for renewable energy, further reducing waste and emissions. The process was the first natural dyeing technology of its kind to receive Woolmark certification.
