Product Information
Full details
This DILLING Kids Merino Wool Sweatshirt in Black (size 5-6) is designed for children seeking a comfortable and versatile mid-layer. Its key benefit is the warmth and breathability provided by dense, organic merino wool. A potential consideration is its relaxed fit, which may require layering for a snugger feel in very cold conditions. This sweatshirt features a classic round neckline, ribbed cuffs and hem for a secure fit, and is made from a weightier merino wool quality suitable for layering.

FAQs
Is merino wool itchy for children?
High-quality merino wool, like that used by DILLING, is known for its fine fibers which are soft and non-itchy, even for sensitive skin. This specific sweatshirt is made from organic merino wool known for its comfort.
Can this sweatshirt be worn year-round?
Due to its temperature-regulating properties, merino wool is comfortable in various seasons. It's excellent as a mid-layer in cooler months and can be comfortable on its own during cooler spring or autumn days.
How does the relaxed fit impact warmth?
The relaxed fit is designed to allow for easy layering. While it offers insulation on its own, adding a base layer underneath can trap more warm air, enhancing its thermal performance in colder conditions.
What does 'dense, weighty quality' mean for the wool?
This refers to the knit density and yarn weight. A denser, weightier wool means more fibers per square inch, providing better insulation, durability, and a more substantial feel compared to lighter wool knits.
How often should I wash this sweatshirt?
Merino wool is naturally odor-resistant and self-cleaning to an extent. Washing only when necessary (e.g., visible soiling or odor) helps preserve the fibers. Airing out between wears is often sufficient.
What size is a UK 5-6?
UK size 5-6 typically corresponds to children aged 5 to 6 years old, with approximate measurements for height and chest circumference.
Can this sweatshirt be machine dried?
No, tumble drying is not recommended for merino wool as it can cause shrinkage and damage the fibers. Always lay flat to air dry.
Troubleshooting
Sweatshirt feels too loose
Layer a tighter-fitting base layer underneath. The ribbed cuffs and hem provide some structure, but the overall fit is relaxed for layering.
Slight odor after wear
Merino wool is naturally odor-resistant. Airing out the garment after wear often suffices. If washing is needed, follow the care instructions using a wool-specific detergent.
Wool feels stiff after washing
Ensure you are using a wool-specific detergent and not fabric softener, which can damage wool fibers. Reshape while damp and air dry flat. A low-heat iron can also help restore softness.
