For free-spirited adventurers with big style! 💫
Kooky Kiddo understands that what we wear on our skin is just as important as what we carry in our hearts! 💜
That’s why all our knitted pieces feature the perfect blend of certified African cotton (50%) and acrylic (50%). This combination brings together the best of both worlds — the natural softness and breathability of cotton with the durability and lightness of acrylic. It allows us to create lightweight yet warm pieces that retain their shape and color for years to come! t’s the ideal mix for every amazing adventure!
We wholeheartedly stand by this blend because:
- Softness & Comfort: The cotton content ensures the yarn is soft and breathable, providing ultimate comfort for everyday wear.
- Durability: Acrylic strengthens the yarn, making it more durable and resistant to wear and tear over time.
- Moisture-Wicking: Cotton’s natural absorbency, combined with acrylic, creates a perfect balance that wicks moisture away from the skin, keeping kids dry.
- Shape Retention: Acrylic fibers help the yarn maintain its shape, preventing it from stretching or sagging as time goes by.
- Easy Care: This blend is less prone to shrinkage, making machine washing possible—just remember to use a gentle cycle.
- Color Longevity: Acrylic holds colors brilliantly, ensuring that products retain their vivid, vibrant hues for a long time.
- Minimal Pilling: With proper care, this blend resists pilling, unlike pure cotton or wool, keeping your items looking newer for longer.
Certification – We truly care about quality and origin! 🌱
Kooky Kiddo knows that sustainability is not just a trend, but a commitment. Each thread of our knitted pieces tells a story – from the tiny cotton seed in Africa to the final stitch crafted in a local knitting workshop. And trust us, these are stories worth wearing!

Washing with love
- Turn it inside out. For extra protection, use a laundry bag.
- Wash it on a gentle, wool, or hand wash cycle.
- Low spin speeds are your friend!
- Use a gentle detergent that’s kind to the fibers.
- Avoid fabric softener.
-
Sušení
- Sušička není kamarád! To mu určitě nedělejte. Nechte ho odpočívat ve vodorovné poloze na sušáku. Představte si, že si dává šlofíka na pláži.
-
Žehlení
- Jeden puntík je tak akorát (to znamená max 110 °C)
- A určitě žádná pára! To by se zničily kouzelné svítící třásně.
