Fabric & care
Looking after soft clothes so they last long enough to hand down.
Why organic cotton
Organic cotton is grown without synthetic pesticides or fertilisers, using farming methods that look after the soil. For us, it also means soft, breathable fabric that's gentle on little skin.

Our fabrics
- Jersey: soft and stretchy, for tees, leggings, pyjamas and sleepsuits.
- Loopback sweat: warm without bulk, for hoodies.
- Needlecord and twill: hard-wearing, for dungarees and pinafores.
- Knits: chunky cotton yarn for cardigans and beanies.
Care guide
- Wash at 30°C, inside out, with similar colours.
- Skip the fabric conditioner: cotton gets softer on its own.
- Line dry in the shade to keep colours bright. Knits should be dried flat.
- Cool iron if needed, avoiding prints.
A note on safety
In the UK, children's clothing has to meet safety rules. For example, there are strict limits on cords and drawstrings, especially around the hood and neck, and children's nightwear has its own fire safety rules. A real kidswear brand must check every design against these rules and show the right labels. As a concept site, Kite & Kin makes no safety claims.
