Quick answer
If you need a lightweight, breathable wrap for a newborn or stroller, choose the Disana Knitted Merino Wool Baby Blanket. For a denser, warmer pad that stays put during elimination communication or as a couch blanket for a toddler, choose the Disana Boiled Wool Blanket.
Weight and warmth
Knitted merino wool is airy and light—perfect for layering or swaddling without overheating. Boiled wool is felted, making it denser, heavier, and more wind-resistant. The boiled wool blanket traps more heat but is also bulkier to carry.
Size and use cases
The knitted blanket is 100x80 cm (baby size only). It fits a crib or stroller but won't cover a toddler bed. The boiled wool blanket is 100x135 cm—large enough for a child or small adult on the couch, or as a waterproofing pad under a baby during elimination communication.
Trade-offs at a glance
- Lightness vs. density: Knitted merino is feather-light and breathable. Boiled wool is dense, warm, and more insulating.
- Size flexibility: Knitted blanket is 100x80 cm (baby only). Boiled blanket is 100x135 cm (child to small adult). If you need a blanket that grows with your child, choose the boiled wool size.
- Care and durability: Boiled wool is naturally felted and less likely to snag or stretch. Knitted merino requires gentler handling to maintain shape. For heavy daily use or EC, boiled wool holds up better.
