Quality Rooted in Austria – Since 1888
Since 1888, Steiner1888 has stood for premium wool craftsmanship, authentic expertise and responsible manufacturing in Austria. This experience is reflected in our products for babies and children, with particular care taken in everything that comes into contact with delicate skin.
Our baby and children's products made from virgin wool and merino wool combine natural materials with a soft handle, lasting quality and a comforting sense of warmth and wellbeing.
Because when it comes to the little ones, every detail matters – from carefully selected materials to meticulous craftsmanship.
Made Personal – with Individual Embroidery
Some gifts stay with us for a lifetime. With individual embroidery, many of our baby blankets, children's blankets and selected baby and children's products become truly personal favourites, preserving special moments and memories.
Whether a name, initials or date of birth – personal embroidery transforms a high-quality merino wool blanket into a unique gift for a birth, christening or other special family occasion.
The result is a personal keepsake that offers warmth, comfort and special meaning.
Frequently Asked Questions About Baby and Children's Wool Products
Merino wool is a natural material with exceptional properties: it provides gentle warmth, is breathable and helps maintain a comfortable and balanced environment. Its fine fibres are particularly soft and feel pleasant against the skin.
For Steiner1888 baby and children's products, we use high-quality merino wool that combines warmth, comfort and a reassuring sense of wellbeing – from baby sleeping bags and baby blankets to children's blankets, hot water bottle covers and baby slippers.
A baby sleeping bag is particularly suitable for a baby's sleeping environment, as it is less likely to slip or be pulled over the face. It keeps your baby safe, warm and comfortably snug throughout the night, without the need for a loose blanket in the cot.
A baby blanket is ideal for everyday use: for cuddling in your arms, in the pram, while travelling or during those comforting moments of closeness. In this way, a baby sleeping bag and a baby blanket complement each other perfectly – depending on the situation and the needs of the child.
High-quality merino wool is particularly fine and soft. It feels pleasant against the skin and is therefore ideally suited for products that accompany babies and children throughout everyday life. In addition to the material itself, careful craftsmanship and a comfortable feel are equally important – both of which are at the heart of every Steiner1888 product.
Wool is naturally easy to care for. In many cases, regular airing is sufficient, as the fibres can naturally help to neutralise odours. If washing is necessary, baby and children's wool products should be cleaned as gently as possible – ideally using a wool cycle and a suitable wool detergent.

Yes, our baby and children's blankets are particularly well suited as personalised gifts for a birth, christening or other special family occasions. Individual embroidery transforms a blanket into a unique keepsake – personal, beautifully crafted and designed to be cherished for years to come.
When little tummies ache, feet feel cold or a moment of comfort is needed, a hot water bottle with a wool cover provides soothing warmth and a reassuring sense of wellbeing. The soft wool cover distributes warmth gently and evenly while protecting against direct contact with the hot water bottle.
Hot water bottles should always be used under adult supervision when intended for babies and children and should never be placed in a baby's cot.
Sustainably Designed – Responsibly Crafted
At Steiner1888, sustainability begins with the careful selection of natural materials and continues through every step of the process – from expert craftsmanship in Austria to the lasting quality of our products. Our merino wool baby blankets are made from premium raw materials, sourced through short supply chains and created with the aim of producing items that will be cherished for years to come.
Rather than following short-lived trends, we focus on timeless quality, natural warmth and durable craftsmanship. The result is baby and children's products that feel good to use – day after day, year after year.
Fine merino wool plays a special role in this. Soft, breathable and temperature-regulating, it makes many of our baby and children's products wonderfully comfortable companions for everyday life. Discover more about the properties and origins of this exceptional natural fibre.
