Disana of Germany

This characteristic zigzag pattern originates probably from the Irish Aran-Islands.  The Irish fishermen's wives made the warm sweaters with this pattern for their husbands.

Disana's Aran sweater is very warm too, because it's knit with an extra portion of fine merino wool.  The large meshes and the voluminous knit encloses small cushions of air, providing an additional insulating effect.  Wool's breathability and temperature-regulating properties add to its comfort.

As all Disana products, it carries the IVN/GOTS-certification - the highest standard for organic textiles. 

Textile weight 360 grams/square meter. 

Sizing

European sizing is based on your child's full height in centimeters.  Conversion to inches noted beside centimeter sizing below.  Choose the size range that your child's height falls within.  For heftier children near upper limits of size range, choose one size up. 

• 86/92 (1-2 yr) = 33.75/37 in.
• 98/104  (3-4 yr) = 38.5 / 41.5 in.
• 110/116 (5-6 yr) = 43.5 / 46.5 in.
• 122/128 (7-8 yr) = 48 / 51 in. 
• 134/140 (9-10 yr) = 52.75 / 56 in.

Also see sizing chart in photos.  Divide centimeters by 2.5 to get approximate measurement in inches. 

Care of your Disana woolens

•  Hand washing is always best for organic wool, in cool to lukewarm water. 
•  Specially formulated wool-wash helps maintain wool's unique properties. 
•  Wool's self-cleansing properties prolong need for washing - simply let it  air out between wearing. 
•  Washing before first use is not necessary with GOTS-certified wool. 
•  After washing, roll in terry cloth towel to press out excess water.
•  Help garment regain its shape and elasticity by pulling into shape, if necessary.
•  Dry lying flat or over drying rack, out of direct sunlight (which can discolor natural wool).
•  Do not use bleach.
•  Do not tumble dry.
•  Iron on low setting, if necessary.
•  Do not dry clean.
