FAQs

Is this tank top suitable for sensitive skin?

Yes, merino wool is known for its softness and hypoallergenic properties, making it a good choice for sensitive skin. The fine fibers minimize itching compared to coarser wools.

Can I wear this in summer?

Absolutely. Merino wool is breathable and helps regulate body temperature by wicking away moisture. It can keep you cool in warmer weather and warm in cooler conditions.

How often should I wash this tank top?

Thanks to its odor-resistant properties, you can wear the tank top multiple times between washes. Wash when it loses its freshness or feels soiled. Airing out the garment can often refresh it.

What is the difference between merino wool and regular wool?

Merino wool fibers are much finer and softer than those of regular wool. They have a natural crimp that makes them breathable, flexible, and less prone to scratching or itching.

Can I use a regular washing machine?

Yes, you can use a washing machine, but it must be on a gentle or wool cycle with cold or cool water (max 30°C). Always use a wool-specific detergent.

What does 'moulant et confortable' mean?

'Moulant et confortable' is French for 'fitted and comfortable,' referring to the way the tank top conforms to the body while remaining comfortable to wear.

Does the blue color fade easily?

DILLING uses quality dyes for its merino wool products. Following the recommended care instructions, including washing in cool water and avoiding direct sunlight during drying, will help preserve the color's vibrancy.

Troubleshooting

Garment feels itchy or uncomfortable

Ensure the garment is washed according to care instructions before first wear. Merino wool is naturally soft, but initial washes can further soften the fibers. Verify you have the correct size, as an ill-fitting garment can cause discomfort.

Garment has lost its shape

Merino wool should be laid flat to dry. Reshape the garment gently while damp and allow it to air dry. Avoid stretching or wringing the fabric. Check care label for specific reshaping instructions.

Odor persists after washing

Ensure you are using a wool-specific detergent and that the garment is thoroughly rinsed. Overuse of detergents or fabric softeners can sometimes trap odors. For persistent odors, consider a specialized wool wash or a soak in cool water with a small amount of vinegar.
