Natur stockings come from a small company located near Brescia, which has been producing a wide range of stockings in completely natural fibers for 35 years. They are suitable for everyone and in particular for people with sensitivity problems to various chemical treatments or who simply have an eye for our planet. These socks, in fact, do not irritate and do not cause allergies, guaranteeing natural perspiration and oxygenation to the feet. In particular, this long model is made of 90% wool and 10% organic cotton. The wool comes from sheep yarn or mixed with alpaca yarn: it is not dyed, so as to keep its natural defenses intact (lanolin, which absorbs sweat, gives well-being to the foot and removes the feeling of wetness). These animal fibres, which have excellent ability and resistance, come from small farms in Latin America and New Zealand, washed on site with only water and spun in an artisan company in the Veneto region (unfortunately the wool of Italian sheep is not very suitable for be spun having fibers that are too short). The cotton, on the other hand, comes from organic crops in India and Tanzania, the organic quality of which is certified by an external Swiss control body in accordance with EU directives 2092/91. This cotton also enjoys the SA 8000 certification (ethical certification) which satisfies the needs of justice and honesty towards small farmers and against the exploitation of child labour. The used organic cotton has not undergone any kind of bleaching or dyeing process.

Younger children have very sensitive skin and at the same time need materials that keep them warm without reddening or irritating. The choice of quality clothing, therefore, strongly affects their quality of life: the assortment proposed by Engel has all the essential characteristics to fully meet the needs of your little ones. For their garments, Engel uses a blend of merino virgin wool and mulberry silk (70/30) of the highest quality. This proportion of the blend allows the enhancement of the characteristics of the individual fibers for a comfortable and long-lasting wearability. Merino virgin wool/silk blends promote a healthy skin climate by preventing any concentration of heat. Furthermore, the design of the garments is designed so that children can move without hindrance. There are no raised seams or too tight elastic bands. The fluffy and soft merino virgin wool comes from organic farming and has obtained the GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard) certification. These very comfortable leggings are also made of merino virgin wool and silk, ensuring at the same time softness on the skin and warmth. In fact, silk thread is a totally natural fiber whose resistance to tearing and tolerability in contact with the skin make it one of the most precious fabrics. It also works as a temperature balancer: it warms when it's cold and cools when it's hot.
