About Lille Lam
LilleLam was established by two newly-become-mothers finding it hard to get hold of garments for children in pure wool, with an outstanding and functional design, and which does not irritate the skin of the babies and children.
This was the beginning of LilleLam, producing high quality garments in close collaboration with Norwegian designers and produced in 100% soft merino wool.
The design has simple yet with embroidery and patterns sourced from their Nordic heritage.

Great importance has been placed on the practical solutions of the garments, but also on possibility of “growth”. Fold-ups are employed wherever it is possible, so that the child can use the garment through several seasons.
Whereas the design recalls elements of the past, the clean and pure wool material is based on the latest technological development. The wool is of the softest kind and does not itch or irritate the skin. The wool is “super-wash” treated and can consequently safely be washed in the washing-machine on a wool program without shrinking or change of dimensions.

Merino wool ideal for infants and children

February 10, 2010 by Scandinavian mum

The wool that many of us associate with clothing is not the wool of today. The scratchy and heavy fabric of early twentieth century clothing manufacturers has given way to the mix of wool blends like merino wool. The agony of dealing with itchy, scratchy wool has been replaced with lightweight and finely woven wools.
The advantages of merino wool are many. It’s naturally soft, and like all wool, it will keep you warm in the winter and cool in the summer. That’s because of the breathable quality of its fiber. This is just one of the things that make merino wool so desirable.

Other qualities of Merino wool are:

* It has the ability to absorb up to 30% of its weight in moisture and still not feel wet.
* Like all wool it is naturally antimicrobial, antibacterial, and antifungal.
* Dust mites do not live in wool.
* Natural durability and insulation properties
* Natural fire resistance
* Natural water repellent (rain) while having superior moisture absorbency (from skin)
* Soft and plush fibers – safe for infants
* Natural elasticity to fiber
* Little to no build-up of odor

This makes Merino wool ideal apparel for infants and children.

Norwegian brand Lille Lam was founded by two mums with the aim of providing warm and comfortable clothing for children. Lille Lam has to main lines; One for play wear and one that is more formal. Both lines are inspired by Norwegian traditional clothing, with a modern touch. The wool used in the garments is very soft and does not itch or irritate the skin. The wool is “super-wash” treated and can consequently safely be washed in the washing-machine on a wool program without shrinking or change of dimensions.

Wool is for every climate, and is in my opinion especially well suited to the British climate.

Mamizeit January 2010

January 17, 2010 by Scandinavian mum

Inspired by the freezing winter we’ve experienced recently I’ve chosen to write about how to dress your little one when it’s cold outside.

It’s freezing cold all over Europe, and with Winter Sale on it’s possible to do some great bargains. If you do need to renew some of your child’s winter wardrobe there is a few things to have in mind:

It must be fit for purpose.

It must be durable and easy to care for.

It must be a pleasure to wear, comfortable and attractive.

Snow is like a magnet to kids. As soon as they see it’s snowing they’ll be ready running out only wearing their superhero pyjama or a ballerina outfit! That’s when we need to know how to dress our little ones in order to keep them warm and dry whatever Mother Nature throws our way.

Visit Mamizeit to see the rest of the article.

Mamizeit is a web magazine with focus on international moms living in Switzerland for any length of time and with children of all ages. I have my own column in this magazine, about children’s fashion.
