Rittenhouse Industries presents Snuggle Wool, a product that is perfect for you and your little one. In creating Snuggle Wool, we
have used the finest Merino wool fibers available to create items such as baby blankets, crib blankets, mattress pads, and throws
to assure your baby is receiving the best comfort possible.

Merino wool is used in all of our products, which has been proven to soothe your child with a soft swaddling effect, and to reduce
stress and restless movement. All Snuggle Wool products are machine washable

BENEFITS OF WOOL

Medical studies at Cambridge University have shown that lambswool pads have a soothing, swaddling effect on babies, resulting
in better sleep, reduced stress, greater contentment and improved weight gain. Studies showing similar results have also been
reported in the BRITISH MEDICAL JOURNAL, LANCET, and THE AUSTRALIAN MEDICAL JOURNAL.

Researchers find when babies lay directly on lambswool, their activity rate is lowered producing a deeper, more restful sleep and
promoting a faster growth rate. This is especially beneficial for premature and low birth-weight babies. Hospitals in England,
Australia, and New Zealand have used lambswool pads to line their incubators for many years.

Wool has become a year-round mainstream nursery item. In the summer babies stay cool and dry when they are on wool
because of natural air circulation through the fibers. In addition, wool absorbs perspiration and moisture more than any other
material. Of course, wool also keeps babies warm in cool weather. Pure lambswool soothes and comforts baby with a soft,
swaddling effect, reduces stress and restless movement, and promotes sleep. Wool fibers also limit the growth of harmful
bacteria and are naturally fire retardent. It's hard to get all of these properties in one fiber!

What is SnuggleWool?

SnuggleWool™ is the trademark of the soft, pure, fleece pads which are fully washable one-inch deep pile lambswool made by
Rittenhouse Industries. The wool, from the Merino sheep in Australia and New Zealand, is sliver-knit to a polyester backing and
processed to withstand gentle machine washing. SnuggleWool™ products are designed for the baby to lie directly on the soft,
deep pile lambswool.

SnuggleWool™ pads are made from 100% pure, fine wool from the Merino sheep in Australia and New Zealand that has been
hygienically scoured and treated to allow frequent machine washing and drying. The sliver knit fleece retains all of the natural
qualities of sheepskin (including absorption of moisture vapor, softness and cushioning) without requiring that the animal give its
life.

Why SnuggleWool™ vs. Sheep (Lamb) Skin?

SnuggleWool™ products over lambskins for the following reasons:

* Increasingly high cost of skins.
* Difficulty of washing and slow drying of the skin.
* The need to slaughter the animal to get the skin.
* Available in many sizes blankets reverse to 100% cotton fabric.

FAQ?
Is a wool pad safe for babies to sleep on?
Lambswool is a soft, soothing surface for babies and has been used in in the nursery for centuries. It is used in preemie
nurseries to encourage rapid growth and development. Babies may be placed directly on the wool, following the "back to sleep"
principle, or the wool may be covered with a sheet.

How do I clean SnuggleWool™ products?
All SnuggleWool products are packed with washing instructions. All items may be machine washed on a gentle cycle in cool
water with a mild detergent. They may also be fluffed up in the dryer on an air setting and then allowed to air dry. Lambswool is a
naturally disinfecting fiber so heat is not needed for disinfection. It also resists the development of bacteria and dust mites.

Is wool bedding appropriate for summer?
SnuggleWool products are useful year round. Lambswool is warm in winter. In summer it is cool due to its ability to absorb
moisture and not feel wet/damp and because it allows air to circulate around the body.

Is SnuggleWool™ available with a cotton backing/foundation?
We do not have a source for lambswool fleece with a cotton backing. Lambswool fleece with a cotton backing requires dry
cleaning. This does not seem like a good alternative for SnuggleWool™ and MediWool™ products.

What chemicals are used in manufacturing?
Specific chemicals are not identified from the manufacturer of the wool fabric. However, the wool knitter has provided evidence
that indicates the lambswool fabric "does not contain any hazardous ingredients." While the wool comes from Australia and New
Zealand, it is not known if the lambs were grown organically.

What holds the bed pads in place?
The bassinet, cradle and crib pads have elastic bands than go under the ends of the mattress. All other mattress pads have
elastic corner straps.

Does the SnuggleWool feel like a lambskin?
The Snuggle Wool looks and feels like a lambskin that has been clipped to a one inch length. Since it is Merino wool, a very fine
wool, it is softer than some lamb or sheepskins.

My SnuggleWool has shed a lot of wool. Did I do something wrong?
SnuggleWool™ products will shed when you take them out of the package and through the first few washings until all the loose
fibers are removed. You may find it helpful to brush with a pet brush or vacuum the loose fibers at first. After some use and a few
washings the fibers will cling to each other.

Will the loose fibers harm my baby?
Remove as many as you can at the beginning then use the SnuggleWool™ in confidence. Wool fibers are natural and will not
harm your baby.

My blanket isn't fluffy anymore. It looks matted. Is this normal?
Wool fibers look like hairs with overlapping scales. The scales, when heated or agitated, tend to stick together and give the
appearance known as sherpa. The ability to retain 30% of its weight in moisture vapors remains, as well as the insulation and
soothing comfort from the cushioning. This fiber structure and moisture retaining ability contribute to the wool's flame resistance.
Unlike synthetics, which can cause serious melt burns, wool is difficult to ignite and merely chars and does not melt.

This photo of a 4-year-old's blanket that has been washed repeatedly illustrates the appearance you can expect.









To retain the fluffy appearance, it may be necessary to brush your SnuggleWool with a pet brush known as a slicker brush.
Recently, one of our customers stated, "I was extremely skeptical [about the brushing]...when I got home, I brushed my wool and
it's wonderful again!" Another customer recently reported that even a seriously matted SnuggleWool pad became fluffy again when
treated with inexpensive hair conditioner and gentle brushing.
