FAQs
Is Merino wool warm enough for winter?
Yes, Merino wool is excellent for insulation. It traps air, providing warmth without being bulky, and also adapts to temperature changes to keep the wearer comfortable.
Can this top be worn directly against the skin?
Absolutely. The 18.5 micron Merino wool used is extremely fine and soft, making it comfortable and non-irritating for direct skin contact.
How often should I wash this top?
Merino wool is naturally odor-resistant. You can often wear it multiple times between washes. Airing it out between wears can refresh the garment. Wash only when necessary to preserve the fibers.
Will the frills get damaged in the wash?
Following the recommended gentle wool cycle and cool temperature wash will help maintain the integrity of the frilled edges. Avoid harsh agitation and high heat.
What does '18.5 micron' mean for the wool?
Micron refers to the diameter of the wool fiber. A lower micron count, like 18.5, indicates a finer, softer, and less coarse fiber, leading to a more comfortable and lightweight garment.
Is this top suitable for sensitive skin?
Yes, the extremely fine Merino wool (18.5 micron) is known for its softness and is generally well-tolerated by individuals with sensitive skin, unlike coarser wools.
Troubleshooting
Garment feels itchy
Ensure you are using a wool-specific detergent and have rinsed thoroughly. If itchiness persists, it may be due to individual sensitivity, though 18.5 micron wool is exceptionally fine.
Shrinkage after washing
Always follow the care instructions carefully. Use a cold or low temperature wash cycle and avoid high heat in drying. Lay flat to dry.
Pilling or bobbling
Some pilling can occur with natural fibers, especially in high-friction areas. This is normal and can be gently removed with a fabric shaver or by hand. Frequent washing and drying can exacerbate this.

Care Instructions:
To ensure the longevity and quality of the Merino wool:
- Washing: Machine wash on a wool or delicate cycle (max 30-40°C) using a detergent specifically designed for wool or delicates. Avoid using fabric softeners or bleach.
- Drying: Do not tumble dry. Lay the garment flat to air dry, away from direct heat or sunlight. Reshape gently while damp if necessary.
- Ironing: If ironing is needed, use a cool iron setting (low heat). It is often best to avoid ironing altogether if possible.
- Storage: Store folded in a cool, dry place. Avoid hanging for long periods, which can stretch the garment.
