FAQs
What makes merino wool suitable for children's clothing?
Merino wool is naturally soft, breathable, temperature-regulating, and hypoallergenic, making it ideal for children's sensitive skin and active lifestyles. It keeps them warm when it's cold and cool when it's warm.
Is this sweatshirt itchy?
No, this sweatshirt is made from fine, organic merino wool terry, which is exceptionally soft and designed to be non-itchy, even for children with sensitive skin.
How often should I wash this sweatshirt?
Merino wool is naturally odor-resistant. You can often air it out instead of washing. Wash only when necessary, typically after several wears, following the care instructions to preserve the fabric.
Can this be worn as a base layer?
While it's designed as a mid-layer, its soft nature means it can be worn as a comfortable base layer for less active days or in milder conditions. For high-intensity activities, a thinner merino wool base layer might be preferred.
What does 'wool terry quality' mean?
Wool terry quality refers to the knit construction of the fabric, which features loops on one side (the plush, fuzzy interior) and a smooth surface on the other. This provides extra softness and insulation.
How do I store the sweatshirt when not in use?
Store the sweatshirt folded in a cool, dry place. Avoid storing it in plastic bags, as wool needs to breathe. Consider using natural moth repellents like cedar if storing for long periods.
Troubleshooting
Sweatshirt feels stiff after washing
This can sometimes happen with wool. Ensure you used a wool-specific detergent and a low-temperature wash. Laying flat to dry without direct heat should restore softness. Avoid fabric softeners which can damage wool fibers.
Pilling on the surface
Some pilling is natural with wool fibers, especially with friction. Gently remove pills with a wool comb or fabric shaver. Frequent washing can exacerbate this; consider washing only when necessary.
Loss of shape
Ensure the sweatshirt is laid flat to dry after washing. Avoid hanging it while wet, as the weight of the water can stretch the fibers. Reshape gently while damp.
