FAQs
What makes merino wool terry special?
Merino wool terry has a unique weave that creates a soft, fuzzy interior and a smooth exterior. This construction enhances comfort and softness, especially for sensitive baby skin, while providing excellent insulation.
Is this sweatshirt suitable for all seasons?
Due to its temperature-regulating properties, it's excellent for cooler seasons as a mid-layer. In milder weather, it might be a bit warm as a primary layer, but its breathability helps manage temperature.
How does merino wool regulate temperature?
Merino wool fibers can trap air for insulation when it's cold and release heat and moisture when it's warm, helping to maintain a stable and comfortable body temperature.
Can I machine wash this sweatshirt?
Yes, but only on a cold (30°C) wool cycle with a wool-specific detergent. Always use the gentlest cycle and avoid high temperatures or harsh detergents.
Why should I use a special detergent for wool?
Wool detergents are pH-neutral and contain lanolin or similar agents that help maintain the natural oils in the wool fibers, preserving their softness, elasticity, and natural properties. Regular detergents can strip these oils, leading to stiffness and damage.
What does 'raglan sleeves' mean for my baby?
Raglan sleeves are cut with a diagonal seam extending from the underarm to the neckline. This design allows for a wider range of motion for the baby's arms and a comfortable fit that doesn't restrict movement.
Is this sweatshirt itchy for babies?
No, organic merino wool, especially in a soft terry weave, is known for being non-itchy and extremely soft against the skin, making it ideal for babies.
Troubleshooting
Shrinking after washing
Ensure you are using a wool-specific detergent and washing on a cold (30°C) wool cycle. Avoid high heat and agitation. Lay flat to dry away from direct heat.
Pilling or fuzziness
Some pilling is natural with wool terry. Gentle washing and avoiding harsh friction can minimize this. You can use a fabric comb designed for wool to carefully remove pills.
Garment loses shape
Always lay the garment flat to dry after washing. Reshape the garment gently while it is still damp. Avoid hanging wet wool, as the weight of the water can cause stretching.
