Gentle swaddle babies in the cocoon. It's cute, and it truly supports families in their sleep journey. 
The handknitted cocoons at French Wink are the special "Mariniere" version (iconic navy-white stripes) of the cocoons by Brooknit Bonneterie. 

What is a cocoon? 
The cocoon provides gentle and safe swaddling to the baby, with a permanent feeling of contact all around them, without the physical restraints of traditional swaddling.
It's about containing, not constraining. 
It contains the movements, like the awakening startling Moro reflex, while providing some range of gesture: accessing their hands for discovery, stretching their legs, and small rotations of neck and head, so critical for their motor developments, gain of control and balance.
It is usable right from birth until up to 6 months (average baby size), even after baby starts rolling over! 

Where does it come from? 
The cocoon was designed in France by Agathe, French pediatric physical therapist,  knitter genius, and co-founder of Ma Petite Laine. 
It is brought to America by Julie, French New Yorker, knitter and founder of Brooknit Bonneterie, under an exclusive licensing agreement.  
The cocoons have already helped countless families, and is making its way to the neo-natal units in French hospitals! 

How is it made? 
The cocoons are all handknitted by Julie, founder of Brooknit Bonneterie in 100% Merino wool super-wash, supplied from a small business located upstate NY, USA. 
The natural properties of our 100% Super Wash Merino wool are no short of magic! Merino wool fiber naturally provides natural thermoregulation, anti-microbial, hypoallergenic texture on the most sensitive skin.
It is soft, anti-plush, anti-itch, anti-odor, sustainable and resistant. 

CARE: 
Machine-wash at low temperature. Wool / delicate cycles. Lay flat to dry. 
Small stains: gently remove with water and mild soap. 
Odors: fly way when the garment is aired-out for a couple of hours.

They are available in two versions: 
- SLATE main color with MERINGUE stripes
