FASHION IS NOT LOUD!We have set ourselves the goal to produce favourite pieces. Everlasting fashion, classic,

basic and convenient for everyday. Clothing that brings joy to both children and parents.

Clothing that emphasises our children’s natural beauty and underlines it with timeless

and clear cuts.

Our children’s world should be joyful and colourful. A place where they can play and laugh. disana wants to accompany

children in this world by providing clothes that are free of harmful chemicals and have cuts that support their urge to

move instead of constricting them. In addition with an excellent quality that can be worn for a long time and a design

that is timeless and still trendy.

Our new children’s clothing is joyful and colourful too with a larger number of colours and the melange colours which

are characteristic for disana. In doing so we attached a lot of importance to compatibility of articles.

We grouped all colours that harmonise very well together into “colour worlds”. The colours in those colour worlds com-

plement each other very well and offer a wide range of possible combinations. Five basic colours lay the foundation

for each colour world and function as a guideline when selecting disana articles. Each colour world represents its own

atmosphere, its own style and its own colour sense. Yet the different colour worlds can also be combined with each

other and offer the possibility of creating own colour compositions and own ideas. No matter how you combine them,

our new disana kids clothing range makes you looking forward to the upcoming autumn/winter season.

Nordic

Natural materials, a clear line management and an instinct for

special colours.

For a long time now Nordic design has influenced our archi-

tecture and home furnishing. disana has picked up this simple

and yet noble design when creating the colour world “Nordic”

and puts it perfectly into practice with timeless and clean

cuts. By using fine lines and unremarkable details, disana

fashion pleasantly stands out from the rather motley mixed-

colours and monotonous children’s fashion industry.

The colours curry and rosé are two proper eye-catchers of this

colour world. They match smoothly with the colours classy

grey and the trend colour anthracite. And a little bit of “gold”

and a small dot of “bordeaux”. That’s all you need for a per-

fect winter day. Children’s fashion can be so simple and yet so

beautiful.

That’s what Nordic is like!

A lightweight wool jumper by disana. Very

simple with a classic cut, but unmistakable

in its quality and design. With our basic knit-

ted jumper we wish to show that

Merino wool doesn’t always have to be

heavy and warm, but also fine and wonder-

fully lightweight. After all, we created it to

be worn in rooms with temperatures above

68 degrees °F – in the class room, at play-

school or while playing at home.

Lightweight and comfortable trousers for at

home or outside in the transitional period.

That’s the idea behind our bloomers made

out of soft boiled wool fabric.

The loose fit at the buttocks fits perfectly in

sizes for small diaper wearers. In larger sizes,

our bloomers simply look cool and are worn

like that too.

A wide, finely knitted waistband with an

inserted elastic band ends up on the belly

without pinching as well as high cuffs on

the legs ends.

Our disana knitted jacket is also made of

lightweight single-bed knitted fabric. Just

like our basic jumper it is produced on only

one needle bed in the knitting machine

instead of the usual two.

This makes the fabric slightly thinner and

more lightweight, which turns the jacket

into a real all-rounder to wear both inside

and outside. And of course, soft new Merino

wool will keep your child warm.

This is where our fine new Merino wool

brings out the best of its positive features.

A small knitted overall for newborns and

babies.

Children who have only been in this world a

few days or weeks need a lot of warmth and

security. Our little knitted overall comes in

perfectly handy.

For this overall we have once again used our

tried and tested purl stitch. Thanks to its

large, open stitches the fabric stores quite

a lot of heat and it is wonderfully soft and

cuddly. The purl stitch is elastic all around

and offers enough flexibility for baby’s first

kicks.

Wide and soft cuffs on the sleeves and legs

make sure that everything stays in place.

The fine purl stitch is highlighted by four

large buttons made from boxwood that

make it easy to put on or take off the

overall.

Our proven fold-over legwarmers should

not be missing on our knitted overall, either.

They keep your little one’s feet warm – even

if they are not wearing socks or shoes.

The yellow colour of the low set

Nordic sun. Sparse forests of birches and

coniferous trees. Belonging to them grey

or anthracite coloured stones along the

coast and fjords. This is how Europe’s

North shows itself.

For the presentation of our colour world

“Nordic” we are including this atmos-

phere. A wall made of rich yellow-col-

oured paper is dominating the room and

is the background for the pastel colours

of our Nordic programme. The furniture

made of spruce has been brightly glazed

and is appearing simple and yet precious.

Colourful dots on the wall and on the

floor are emphasizing the“Nordic” rays of

clothing in our programme. The refracted

light coming through the window covers

the scenery in something soft and warm

– typical Nordic.

Ecology

Not far from Kap Horn, a place with barren landscape and high and snowcapped mountains,

a place where the wind regularly blows with the strength of a storm, this is the place where

merino sheep have settled and the origin of the disana wool.

In the very south of South America, in wind-blown Patagonia, on the pastures located in

the alpine valleys of the Andes there’s an incredibly wool of high quality growing – organic

Merino wool for disana.

Only the merino sheep’s fine wool is suitable for our disana babies and kids articles because

only wool with a hair diameter of 22 micrometers is soft enough not to scratch babies’ skin.

These sheep defy the cold, the wind and the drought. For that reason the southern hemi-

sphere in Australia, New Zealand and in our case South America is offering ideal conditions.

The cold and wet conditions in Europe, however, are inappropriate.

Just like all other raw materials, the Merino wool we use for our disana babies and kids

articles is certified according to strict organic criteria. Our wool articles also wear the GOTS

quality label, which promises highest demands regarding ecology and social responsibility.

After all, what is the state of animals’ health in far-away South America? Are the animals kept

with caution and how is the handling in the process of shearing? On our journey through

Patagonia, we visited the farms and laundry facilities for our disana wool. This helped us to

gain an own impression of the country and the people, the nature’s rough beauty and the

sheep’s welfare.

As a matter of fact the sheep that give the disana Merino wool are fine. They are kept very

well indeed. Despite of extensively sheep breeding, only 2 sheep come on a hectare of land.

Given the fact that there are huge, uninhabited areas, it is not much of a surprise. Once in

a while you have the chance to see a sheep between the bushes. The sheep are only herd

together and brought to large-sized pens when it’s time for shearing and being relieved from

the winter fur. It is hard work for both human and animal. However no harsh words and no

rush. The farmers work quietly and professional to keep the animals’ stress level as low as

possible. After the shearing the sheep are brought to another pen, where they’re standing

closely crowded together. The sheep are now 4-5Kg lighter than before and keep each other

warm this way to prevent a thermal shock. After that the sheep are back to the pasture.

The heavily criticized “Mulesing” is also not practiced in South America, a method that

involves a bloody cut into the sheep’s anus. This process is used to protect the sheep from

maggot infestation caused by a special fly species. There is not such a fly in South America

thanks to the permanent strong wind in Patagonia.

Our farms are monitored and certified by accrediting certification institutions according to

the Global Organic Textiles Standard, GOTS.

Disana has been the first company to gain the quality label GOTS and the even stricter label

BEST for their products.

The policies include the strict adherence of environmental and social standards as well as

complete transparency for procurement of raw materials and their processing. This quality

label is awarded after a long and extended certification and test procedure. It labels natural

textiles of the highest ecological quality. As mentioned before, not only the prevention of

harmful substances in our yarn’s fibres is important to us but also the human’s living condi-

tions and the environment in the country of origin. We bear responsibility for it as well as for

any other subsequent step of the production chain.

When choosing our supplier we often place our trust in long-term partnerships. Just like

us, our suppliers have to play by the rules of IVN and document their actions in detail. Each

process-step, each input material and each adjuvant is checked to ensure compliance with the

guidelines. The application is monitored and documented.

This process is often very complex and very expensive. However this is the only way we can

make sure that all steps of production satisfy the high demands of technical and ecologi-

cal quality. The gained yarn and fabric is exclusively processed in our premises or in selected

partner companies directly located in the neighborhood. This allows us to monitor and control

all production steps. Many details lead us to success. Not only yarns and fabrics are subject to

strict guidelines, but also ingredients and adjuvants such as sewing threads, buttons and even

our knitting machine’s lubricating oil have to be checked on policy compliance and the use has

to be documented.

A respectful and careful dealing with nature is most important for disana’s work. In a world

with global goods movement we have responsibilities beyond the horizon and when it’s con-

sidered as necessary, we have to put an eye on the origin of our raw materials even if it’s at the

end of the world.

disana boiled wool material and the body

cotton. Wide cuffs on the sleeves and the

body keep the child safe from the cold. The

cuffs on the sleeves are especially long and

thanks to the thumb hole they can quickly


replace forgotten gloves and keep the

hands warm even in cold temperatures.

The hood can be matched to your child’s

head shape thanks to the wide cords. And

since the cords are internal and not fitted

all around, they also keep the neck out of

harm’s way.

As an additional safety feature our outdoor

jacket is provided with reflecting stripes

on the front and the back of the body and

on the sleeves. In this way the jacket and

your child are well visible at dusk and in the

dark.

36 | 37 Made in Germany

“Made in Germany” – or in frenzy of the numbers.

In the morning 6 a.m. our world is still alright and quiet. However shortly after, a hum-

ming and buzzing is rising up that soon turns into a crescendo of the special kind. By

lifting the so called “engagement rod” the knitting machine is coming to life and with the

dance of a hundred knitting needles our workday begins.

Here in our production facility in Lichtenstein, a small town about 50km to the south of

Stuttgart are 30 flat-bed knitting machines by which we are producing the fabrics for our

disana textiles. Located upon them, a flexible carriage is moving back and forth. Thereby

it’s lifting needles, puts a thread through the pinhead and pushes the needle back again.

With every stroke, every round the carriage goes back and forth, hundreds of stiches are

formed in one row.

It becomes spectacular if you visualise the speed and the dimension of work that is be-

hind it. Each of our machines has about 1 500 knitting needles that catch the thread with

the hooks on their pinheads.

The hook has a diameter of 1.2 mm and has not even more than 1/300 seconds given to

catch the thread with the hook. In this process the pinhead has to accelerate from 0 to

about 800 km/h on a stretch of 6cm.

The thread (yarn) we make our fabrics of is absolute fantastic. If you take a yarn with the

thickness Nm 40/1, you can spin 40 meters yarn with the weight of a stamp. And this is

by far not the finest our spinning mil has to offer.

It’s the precision and the speed by which processes take place in our production that

fascinate us again and again. No need to say that we have to handle a great effort of

maintenance, repair work, and care to keep the machines on their speed level and the

same precision every day.

Not only our knitting mill, also the cutting department is processing large numbers. 20 kg

of boiled-wool fabric are pulled on vacuum by using 1,6 bar negative pressure. The blade

is going 300 times a second up and down to cut sleeves, bodies or hoods out of the fabric.

In only 8 minutes the pieces for 34 overalls are ready cut out and have all marks essential

for the sewing room.

About 25 000 times a knitting needle is going up and down a day. Thereby it processes

about 5 000 meters of thread and transports the fabric about 1.6 kilometres. 30 machines

of this kind are in use everyday. All knitted binding that we fabric a year to edge our

beautiful boiled-wool articles would be enough to go around the equator twice –

easily. All 700 000 buttons stacked upon each other would be as high as the Matterhorn

in Switzerland.

There are many incredible numbers to discover, when having a closer look at our

production. However our most important number is 54.

Exactly 54 employees work for disana in the moment of making this catalogue. A

remarkable growth by 6 people compared to the year before.

It’s those people in our production, our administration, our dispatch and in our store who

keep the big and small wheels going. The specialists and their experience, their expertise

and their passion make our articles the way they are: A little miracle made of yarn, speed

and precision. Because after all it’s the people who make the difference, despite of all

technology.

We work together in our knitting mill, cutting department, sewing room, quality check

department, dispatch department, administration and in our shop.

We are very happy about our beautiful natural textiles. Every morning – apart from

weekends – at 6 a.m. again and again.

that’s our disana boiled wool overall.

The big hood, the roll-ups on the arms and

legs, the great fit, the lovely big tagua nut

buttons: all these details help to make our

boiled wool overall a really special addi-

tion to baby’s wardrobe. Air woven into

the boiled wool regulates temperature

and humidity like no other fabric. The high

lanoline content in our wool envelops every

single fibre, making the overall almost wa-

terproof. Both these effects make the boiled

wool overall great to wear over baby’s

clothes when playing and romping around

in the snow.

disana boiled wool is a very special natural fabric. Our boiled wools are extremely soft and

light, making them very comfortable to wear. At the same time they protect against the cold,

are almost entirely windproof and balance out hot or cold temperatures. To make their pro-

duction as eco-friendly and skin-friendly as possible, only water, heat and a little soap is used.

We deliberately refrain from using chemical additives. This production method means that all

disana boiled wools meet the high standards of the Global Organic Textile Standard label.

When wool is boiled, thousands of tiny air bubbles are trapped in the material. They form

an entirely natural barrier against hot and cold temperatures, producing a unique, natural

feeling of snugness underneath baby’s boiled wool clothing. At the same time, the skin can

breathe freely – comfort that not even the cleverest synthetic fibre can recreate.

Boiled wool – an ancient story

Sheep wool played an important role in human beings’ clothing from a very early point in

history. Wool spinning was known in Neolithic times. Over the centuries, the invention of

the hand spinning wheel, and later spinning machines, made it increasingly simple to turn

raw wool into woollen yarn. Back in the times of the pharaohs, the Egyptians discovered that

wool could be made compact by stamping it in large containers of water and dung.

The importance of this art is demonstrated by the fact it had its own hieroglyph: a pair of men’s

feet standing in a liquid. Boiling wool was also known north of the Alps, where materials were

pounded using the feet or mortars in pots of warm water, adding peat or fuller’s earth, made of

volcanic rock. In the late Middle Ages, boiling wool was usually carried out using water-powered

mills. Turned by the waterwheel, vertically mounted fulling stocks hammered the material for

hours in a fulling tub. The resulting material had shrunk in both directions by up to 50 percent.

The inventors of the boiled wool used in traditional German and Swiss clothing probably came

from the Alps. They discovered that woollen clothes which had shrunk in the wash provided

better protection against the wind and rain than before. They used the fulling technique to

make knitted and woven clothes tougher and more weather-resistant.

Modern production

Today, large specialist machines similar to washing machines are used to produce boiled wool

fabrics. Water, heat and friction break up the wool fibres’ scaly structure. The adjoining fibres

in the material get caught up and pulled together. The wool is felted and the material shrinks

to almost half its size in both directions. During this process, countless tiny bubbles are

trapped inside the material. Heat and moisture is applied repeatedly to the material, hung on

tenter frames, until it is smooth, even and dry. Once the boiled wool has been treated in this

way, it no longer shrinks when wet. Once finished, our disana boiled wool is ready to be made

into clothes – as disana jackets, overalls, hats and much more.

Properties of boiled wool material

Fulling means woollen fabric can combine the advantages of purely natural fibres with the

temperature and humidity standards expected from modern clothing. The trapped air bubbles

act like an air barrier, keeping the temperature under a boiled wool garment almost constant

even in cool weather. In rain, or even in snow, boiled wool is an excellent weather barrier as

water drops simply run off the surface of the felted wool. Pure wool can also absorb almost half

its own weight of moisture without feeling damp. Fulled materials are especially hard-wearing

as the felting process considerably increases the wool’s natural stretchiness and wear resist-

ance. At the same time, the boiled wool remains soft, clingy and comfortable, as, unlike felt or

loden cloth, boiled wool can be stretched in all directions. How soft and clingy a boiled wool

material is depends largely on the wool used. We at disana use an especially soft, fine certified

organic Merino wool from Argentina. Apart from this, the techniques used to knit the wool,

and of course the washing process itself, help make the boiled wool so effective. Many of the

techniques and processes are well-kept secrets passed down from generation to generation.

Everything baby needs

Healthy clothing that is free from harmful substances. Almost 40 years ago our parents started disana having this idea in their minds. Back then, it was located in our home’s garage. Until today we are committed to this idea and produce kids clothing of the highest ecological quality.

It all began with a knitted nappy. Still today it is the foundation of our disana nappy system. We are very happy to see that those nappy systems are still in demand and that young parents decide on using natural nappies.

As time goes by, a lot of new articles increased our range of prod-ucts. For example sleeping bags made of softly knitted material and boiled wool; lovely wool blankets as light as a feather but still offer gentle protection; waterproof mattress covers that keep the mattress or change mat dry.

Rawsilk liners heal redness on baby’s nappy butt quickly. Our muslin facecloth is making the daily washing enjoyable.

In the course of the years it has become a wide range of products that we would like to introduce to you on the following pages. Simply everything baby needs!

ful look is set off by an elaborate scallop

stitch along the border of the blanket.

Newborns need that feeling of closeness

and safety. The time before birth means

they connect this feeling with the protec-

tive snugness of their mother’s womb. Our

disana knitted woollen sleeping bag gives

them this feeling of closeness and safety,

making it the perfect bedtime accessory

for babies and tiny tots. The high, stretchy

knitted waistband gently embraces the

child without pinching, while the wide leg

bag leaves space for baby to wriggle about.

Two wide knitted straps keep everything

in place. The sleeping bag design keeps baby

well wrapped up and warm even when

having trouble sleeping. It is also perfect

to swaddle up your baby snugly. The clever

thing about our sleeping bag, however,

is definitely the indescribably soft pure

Merino wool: our disana knitted woollen

sleeping bag shows off its natural softness

and warmth especially well.

Baby’s skin must be able to breathe. Therefore, it is

essential for a nappy | diaper set to allow air to pass in

and out. Yet, at the same time of course, it must

adequately absorb moisture. Using pure, all-natural

fibers is the best way to guarantee both these qualities.

This is the very reason why disana has chosen to use only

approved untreated and organic cotton, wool and silk for

its entire nappy | diaper set.

Once a baby is brought into this world, it should be cared

for and made to feel as comfortable as possible. Such

everyday things as clothes, which come in direct contact

with a baby’s delicate skin, are crucial to its comfort. For

its early years, this means first and foremost the baby’s

nappies | diapers.

We at disana have spent much time with midwives and

children’s nurses to learn exactly what is needed to create

the most comfortable and natural nappy | diaper just for

babies. The result is our disana nappy | diapering system.

The nappy itself forms the core of any

washable nappy system.

We at disana provide three different types

of nappies – three alternatives for all kinds

of different needs.

One thing the nappies have in common is

that they are made of highly absorbent or-

ganic cotton. They also have exceptionally

high standards of quality and finishing. This

is very important to us, as no other piece

of clothing is washed, dried and re-used as

often as a washable nappy.


Article number 1111

This knitted nappy is the mainstay of the

disana nappy system.

Its stretchy knitted fabric follows baby‘s

every move, keeping the nappy flush with

your child’s body even when she has a re-

ally good wiggle. Its special form not only

makes it easy to put on; it is also designed

to fit perfectly from the first to the last day

your child needs it. That makes disana knit-

ted nappies far less costly than expensive

disposables.

disana Muslin nappy

Article number 1132

A classic nappy, 80 x 80 cm, woven from

fine organic cotton. No other fabric has

accompanied people across so many

thousands of years as the muslin nappy.

There are doubtless dozens of different

techniques for folding a child’s nappy using

this cloth. Every mother has her own special

knack and tricks.

Its simple shape means it is especially good

to wash and dries very quickly on the line.

But our muslin cloth is not only great as a

nappy, it is practically a must as a highly

absorbent liner for knitted nappies and

nappy pants. And as a burp cloth, a mat, a

flannel or just a toy …

disana Nappy pants

Article number 1133

This nappy pant can be used straight away

with no need to fold or roll it back. Its prac-

tical shape and big Velcro fasteners make

it simple to put on and adjust to baby’s

size. Integrated elastic provides a snug fit

without pinching.

Its soft, slightly napped cotton absorbs

plenty of moisture and is especially com-

fortable for baby to wear. Sewn-in cotton

liners make the nappy extra absorbent.

Nappy liners

The liners for the disana nappy set are

designed for all kinds of different purposes.

Depending on the material they are made

with, they can make the nappy more

absorbent, soothe sore skin or make nappy

changing easier.

Our disana cotton nappy liners make the

nappy more absorbent. Cotton quickly

absorbs moisture and spreads it across the

surface of the fibres, meaning that cotton

liners can store a great deal of moisture.

Just like nappies, cotton liners must be

washed after every change.

Article number 1211

If baby’s bottom is ever sore, that’s when our

raw silk liner comes in.

Raw silk contains plenty of natural silk bast,

which has an anti-inflammatory effect. The

silk also gently cools down the inflamed skin.

The raw silk liner is added to the nappy

alongside the cotton liner, up against baby’s

skin. The raw silk liner is changed every time

along with the nappy until baby’s skin is no

longer red.



Article number 1231

This brushed cotton liner is folded into a

strip and used as an absorbent liner for the

knitted nappies and nappy pants.

When the cloth is made, the cotton is lightly

brushed, which not only makes it pleasantly

soft and velvety, but also multiplies its

relative surface, meaning it can absorb even

more moisture. But our flannel fabric is not

only the perfect accessory as a nappy liner:

it can also be used as a bib, burp cloth, face

cloth and lots more besides.

can be used as a changing mat and is a practical

Microfibre pants with Velcro

Article number 1342

Whenever a woollen nappy wrap cannot be

used, the disana microfibre wrap comes into

play. It is made of pure plastic – with some

noteworthy features.

Standard plastic pants are so impermeable

that not only liquids, but also vapour cannot

escape, and air cannot reach baby’s skin. A

hot, humid atmosphere develops, and fun-

gal rashes and sore skin are inevitable. Our

microfibre nappy wraps are different.

To create them, a knitted synthetic fibre

fabric is covered with a fine, microporous

layer of rubber. The pores in this layer of

rubber are so small that liquids cannot pass

through, but vapour can escape and air can

get into the nappy. Thus, the microfibre

nappy wrap stays leakproof and baby’s skin

can breathe freely.

disana Woollen cloth overpants

Article number 1321

This, too, is made of natural, fine Merino

wool. In this case, however, the wool has

been prewashed and slightly felted to make

the wrap especially leakproof and highly

absorbent.

Its simple shape and the big Velcro fasteners

make it easy to put on and take off. With

bigger, more mobile children that is espe-

cially important: it makes changing a nappy

into child’s play. The wide knitted waistband

keeps leaks at bay. In areas designed to

absorb more moisture we have sewn in an

extra boiled wool lining.

disana Woollen overpants

Article number 1311

Made of especially fine, soft Merino wool,

these woollen overpants are suitable even

for very small children. Their high knitted

waistband not only stops leaks, it keeps

baby’s tummy lovely and warm, helping

prevent wind.

The woollen overpants absorb excess urine,

which binds with the lanoline – the natural

wax on wool fibres – and is neutralised, so

if the woollen overpants have just got a

little damp, it is enough to leave it to dry

out in the fresh air. Thanks to the natural

self-cleaning function of the wool fibres, the

pants are left hygienically clean.

If all the lanoline in the woollen overpants is

used up, or if the pants have been cleaned,

lanoline must be added again. The simplest

way to do so is with our disana lanoline

treatment, which allows the lanoline

content of the wool to be replenished very

simply. The woollen overpants then stop

leaks again for several days or weeks.

Leakproof nappy pants cover up the nappy,

making sure that moisture stays in the

nappy and doesn’t leak out.

It is important that baby’s skin can breathe

under the nappy pants and that heat does

not build up. Disana nappy pants are made

of wool or microfibre, are extremely breath-

able and provide baby’s skin with enough

air to “breathe”.

Nappy changing guidance

This is what you will need Direction for use

1 |

To use the disana nappy is very simple.

Spread out the knitted nappy on the

changing mat. Fold the narrow front part

back to the ties. Now place the brushed

cotton liner on top of the nappy.

2 | and 3|

If your baby is very small, you can adjust

the length of the nappy by folding back the

upper edge.

Lay the baby on the nappy. First, pull up the

liner between the legs, than fold the two

upper side edges into the middle.

4 | and 5|

Pull up the lower flap of the nappy be-

tween the legs and over the waist. Here

too, by folding the flap, you can adjust the

size of the nappy. Finally cross the ties of

the knitted nappy across baby’s back, bring

them round to the front an tie in a bow.

The fine knitting gives the nappy a com-

fortable elasticity so that it fits snugly. The

baby is not restricted, but wrapped gently

with plenty of room to move.

6 |

The disana woollen overpants are then

pulled over the nappy. Though watertight,

these allow the air to pass through. The

soft ribbing around the waist and legs hold

the pants firmly but gentle in place. Baby

is kept warm without getting too hot, as

wool has the property to keep tempera-

tures well balanced.

Wool shampoo

Article number 2362

The natural wool we use should be treated with an

equally natural, mild wool shampoo. The structure of its

fibres makes wool especially sensitive to heat, friction

and strong chemicals, so care needs to be taken when

washing woollen products.

Our disana wool shampoo is particularly mild and thus

perfect for all natural wools.

Its ph value is adjusted to wool, which is slightly acidic,

preventing the wool from matting when washed.

As it is a concentrate, it is very economical and is suitable

for hand or machine washing. 200 ml

Lanoline conditioner

Article number 2361

Lanoline is the natural wax in sheep’s wool. The wax

envelops the fibres, protecting them from harsh environ-

ments. The woollen products in our disana programme

contain plenty of natural lanoline, which protects and

cares for the wool fibres.

The woollen overpants in our disana nappy system, in

particular, use up the lanoline constantly. Other wool-

len products, too, lose the natural wax in the wool from

washing or drying, which is why the wool fibres need to

be replenished with lanoline every now and then. The

best way to do so is with our disana lanoline treatment.

It is made up of liquid lanoline and dissolves easily in

lukewarm water. After washing, the woollen product is

placed in a bowl with the lanoline treatment. The wool

fibres absorb the lanoline again and the woollen product

is protected against dirt and dryness. 200 ml

Gall soap

Article number 2363

An ancient household remedy for removing the most

stubborn stains on wool and silk textiles. Gall soap

is used whenever wool shampoos are not enough to

remove a stain.

Applied directly, massaged gently into the stain and

rinsed with clear water, bile soap removes any organic

soiling from wool and silk articles.

Available as a concentrate and only intended for targeted

stain removal, a few drops will suffice to remove ugly

stains from delicate materials. 200 ml
