FAQs
Is this tank top suitable for very sensitive skin?
Yes, the blend of fine organic merino wool and silk is exceptionally soft and designed to be gentle on sensitive skin. Merino wool is known for its non-itchy properties, and silk adds an extra layer of smoothness.
Can this tank top be worn year-round?
Absolutely. The thermoregulating properties of merino wool make it suitable for all seasons. It provides warmth in cold weather and helps keep the child cool by wicking moisture in warmer conditions.
How does the merino wool and silk blend compare to 100% merino wool?
The silk blend offers enhanced softness and a smoother feel against the skin compared to 100% merino wool, while still retaining the excellent thermoregulation and breathability of wool. It may also be slightly lighter.
What is the benefit of the close-fitting design?
The close fit ensures that the thermoregulating properties of the fabric work effectively by maintaining close contact with the skin. It also makes it an ideal base layer that doesn't bunch up under other clothing and doesn't restrict movement.
How often should I wash this tank top?
Merino wool is naturally odor-resistant and self-cleaning to some extent. You don't need to wash it after every wear. Airing it out between uses can often be sufficient. Wash only when necessary to preserve the fibers.
Will this tank top keep my child warm in winter?
Yes, as an inner layer, it traps body heat effectively while allowing moisture to escape, preventing the child from getting cold due to sweat. It is designed to be a warm, natural base layer for colder climates.
Troubleshooting
Garment feels itchy
Ensure you are using a wool-specific detergent and have rinsed thoroughly. Sometimes, a few washes can soften the fibers further. Check if the care label instructions were followed correctly.
Shrinking after washing
Avoid high washing temperatures and tumble drying. Always wash on a wool program at 30°C and lay flat to dry. If minor shrinkage has occurred, try gently stretching the garment while damp.
Pilling on the fabric
Pilling is natural for wool and silk blends over time. Use a fabric shaver to gently remove pills. Reducing friction during washing and wear can also help minimize pilling.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This tank top requires no setup as it is ready to wear upon purchase. It is designed to be compatible with other DILLING merino wool and silk garments for optimal layering. To ensure longevity and maintain the quality of the fabric, follow these care instructions:
- Washing: Machine wash on a wool program at 30°C (86°F) or hand wash. Use a mild detergent specifically designed for wool or silk. Avoid using bleach or fabric softeners, as these can damage the natural fibers.
- Drying: Do not tumble dry. Reshape the garment while damp and lay it flat to dry away from direct sunlight or heat.
- Ironing: If necessary, iron on a low setting (wool/silk setting) while the garment is still damp.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. For long-term storage, consider using breathable garment bags.
