FAQs

What makes merino wool suitable as a base layer?

Merino wool is an excellent base layer because it is soft, breathable, naturally temperature-regulating, and moisture-wicking. It keeps you warm in the cold and cool in the heat, while also resisting odours.

Can I wear this tank top in the summer?

Yes, merino wool's breathability and temperature-regulating properties make it comfortable even in warmer weather, especially as a base layer that wicks away moisture.

How often should I wash this tank top?

Thanks to its odour-resistant properties, you can wear merino wool items multiple times between washes. Washing frequency depends on usage, but airing it out between wears can extend time between washes.

Is this tank top suitable for sensitive skin?

Merino wool is generally softer and finer than traditional wool, making it less likely to cause itching. Many people with sensitive skin find merino wool comfortable.

What is the difference between this tank top and a regular tank top?

The primary difference is the material. This tank top is made from 100% merino wool, offering superior temperature regulation, breathability, and odour resistance compared to cotton or synthetic tank tops.

Can I wear this tank top under a dress?

Yes, its close-fitting silhouette and soft material make it an ideal, comfortable base layer under dresses, especially during cooler months.

Troubleshooting

Garment feels itchy

Ensure you are using a high-quality merino wool. Wash the garment according to care instructions with a wool-specific detergent. The fibers should soften over time and with proper care.

Shrinking after washing

Merino wool can shrink if exposed to high heat or aggressive washing/drying cycles. Always wash on a cool, delicate setting (max 30°C) and lay flat to dry. Avoid tumble drying.

Odour returns after wearing

While merino wool is naturally odour-resistant, prolonged wear without washing can eventually lead to odours. Ensure proper washing with appropriate detergent. Airing out the garment between wears can also help.

Lace trim is snagged or damaged

Handle the garment with care to avoid snags. If the lace is slightly snagged, try gently pulling the fabric around the snag to minimize its appearance. Avoid abrasive surfaces.

Care Instructions:

To ensure the longevity and performance of your merino wool tank top, follow these care guidelines:

  1. Washing: Machine wash on a wool or delicate cycle at a maximum of 30°C (86°F). Use a detergent specifically designed for wool or delicate fabrics. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can diminish the natural properties of merino wool.
  2. Drying: Do not tumble dry. Reshape the garment while damp and lay it flat to dry away from direct sunlight or heat sources. This prevents shrinkage and preserves the fabric's integrity.
  3. Ironing: If necessary, iron on a low heat setting. Avoid high temperatures which can damage the wool fibers.
  4. Stain Removal: Treat stains promptly according to wool care guidelines. Avoid harsh chemicals.
