Are you ready to snuggle up with your little ones into a soft and warm merino?
Morning mists announce the inevitable arrival of fall, the season of coats and warm sweaters.
This is the perfect time to purchase baby wraps made of wool.
Why is merino wool the perfect winter material?
Merino wool is a natural fibre. It’s soft, almost silk-like to the touch.
Whether it’s added and weaved into a cotton warp in baby wraps or used as a functional base layer – merino wool has the following characteristics:
*Thermoregulation (it creates optimal body climate; the wool perfectly regulates the microclimate between body and fabric)
*Hydrophobic characteristics – it transfers moisture and sweat (since the fibres are hollow, the moisture either evaporates right away, or is stored in the fabric until it has a chance to evaporate)
*Antibacterial characteristics
*Breathability
*UV Protection
yako yako baby wraps are weaved with a mulesing free merino wool. Superwash treatment guarantees safe machine wash (using wool programs), tumble drying and ironing.
Note: Wool is a protein fibre, which draws harmful bacteria, while preventing their decay and reproduction. This means, that wearing the wool does not result in odour – the only thing it needs, is to let it air out.

We founded the yako yako brand because we believe in babywearing and its benefits.
The idea came up during our stay in Sweden where we live temporarily. It is the most inspirational country for us, but the major muse is our daughter Rebeka. She is also the author of the first design – the handprints on the wrap First touch were weaved according to her hand prints taken in her 4 months. The name “yako yako” has been derived from her first sounds or words she made while sucking a pacifier.
And who are us – mother Martina, her other ME and Rebeka’s dad Daniel, his mother Anita, the absolvent of textile academy, artist and interior designer living in Sweden.
Behind the graphic design of yako yako is Peter, a former graffiti artist and founder of graphic studio profigrafik.sk. He follows a motto: “Less is more and more is less”.
