Full details
This DILLING tank top is designed for active children aged 5-6, providing exceptional comfort and temperature regulation through its 100% organic merino wool construction. Its key benefit is keeping kids warm and dry all day, making it an ideal base layer.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
Is this tank top suitable for summer wear?
Yes, the merino wool is naturally breathable and thermoregulating, making it suitable for warmer weather by wicking away moisture and helping to keep the child cool. However, for very hot climates, it might be perceived as warm.
How do I know if I bought the right size?
The tank top should have a close, comfortable fit that allows for movement without being tight. Check the size guide and ensure it fits snugly around the torso and shoulders without restricting arm movement.
Can I use regular detergent?
It is highly recommended to use a detergent specifically designed for wool. Regular detergents often contain enzymes and chemicals that can break down merino wool fibers, leading to shrinkage and loss of softness.
How often should this tank top be washed?
Merino wool is naturally odor-resistant. You can often air it out between wears instead of washing it every time. Wash when visibly soiled or when odor is present, following the wool care instructions.
Will the tank top shrink?
If washed and dried according to the wool care instructions (low temperature, wool program, air dry flat), the tank top should not shrink. Avoid hot water and tumble dryers.
Is merino wool safe for babies and children with sensitive skin?
Yes, DILLING's organic merino wool is known for its exceptional softness and is generally non-irritating, making it an excellent choice for children with sensitive skin. It lacks the coarseness of traditional wool.
Troubleshooting
Tank top feels tight or restrictive
Ensure the correct size is being used. Merino wool garments are designed for a close fit to maximize their performance; if it feels too tight, consider sizing up, though this may slightly impact thermoregulation efficiency.
Garment loses shape after washing
Avoid high-temperature washes and tumble drying. Always follow the care instructions for wool, using a wool program and air drying flat. Gentle handling during washing and drying is key.
Skin irritation or itchiness
While merino wool is naturally soft, ensure you are using a pure merino wool product and have no specific wool allergies. Using a wool-specific detergent can also help maintain the fiber's natural softness.
