FAQs
Can this bodysuit be worn all year round?
Yes, the natural thermoregulating properties of merino wool and silk make it suitable for year-round wear. It helps keep babies warm in cold weather and cool in warm weather.
How do I properly wash this bodysuit?
It is best to machine wash on a gentle or wool cycle at a maximum of 30°C with a wool-specific detergent. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners. Do not tumble dry; lay flat to air dry.
Is merino wool safe for babies with sensitive skin?
Yes, organic merino wool is known for its fine fibers and natural softness, making it highly suitable for babies with sensitive or eczema-prone skin. It is also naturally hypoallergenic.
What is the benefit of the silk blend?
The addition of silk enhances the softness and adds a lustrous feel to the fabric. It also contributes to breathability and comfort.
How do the poppers make changing easier?
Poppers located at the neck and legs allow for quick and easy diaper changes and dressing without needing to fully remove the bodysuit, minimizing fuss for both baby and parent.
Can I use a regular detergent?
It is highly recommended to use a detergent specifically formulated for wool or delicates. Regular detergents can be too harsh and may damage the delicate merino wool and silk fibers over time.
What should I do if I notice pilling on the fabric?
Pilling can sometimes occur with natural fibers like merino wool due to friction. This is usually minimal with high-quality wool. You can gently remove any small pills with a fabric comb or by carefully trimming them. Proper washing and handling will help minimize pilling.
Troubleshooting
Garment feels itchy after washing
Ensure you are using a wool-specific or delicate detergent and have rinsed thoroughly. Avoid fabric softeners, which can affect the natural fibers.
Bodysuit seems to have shrunk
Merino wool can be sensitive to heat. Ensure you washed and dried according to the 'Do not tumble dry' and '30°C wash' instructions. If slight shrinkage occurred, gently stretch the garment back into shape while damp.
Poppers are difficult to open/close
Ensure the poppers are aligned correctly before fastening. If they feel stiff, gently work them back and forth a few times. Ensure no fabric is caught in the popper mechanism.
