Full details

Extended Product Information
FAQs
Is Merino wool suitable for sensitive skin?
Yes, the extra fine Merino wool (18.5 micron) used in this top is exceptionally soft and smooth, making it suitable for children with sensitive skin and minimizing the risk of irritation.
How does Merino wool regulate temperature?
Merino wool fibers have a natural crimp that traps air, providing insulation in cold weather. In warmer conditions, the fibers can absorb and release moisture vapor, helping to keep the skin cool and dry.
Can this top be worn year-round?
Yes, its temperature-regulating properties make it suitable for year-round use. It provides warmth in winter and breathability in summer.
How often should I wash this top?
Merino wool is naturally odor-resistant, so it doesn't need to be washed after every wear. Airing it out between uses can help refresh the garment. Wash when visibly dirty or when odor becomes noticeable.
What does 'ribbed knit' mean for the fit?
The ribbed knit construction creates a flexible fabric that stretches and conforms to the body's shape without being tight or restrictive. It allows for comfortable movement and layering.
Does the top have tags inside?
The product description does not specify tag details. However, many DILLING garments are designed with minimal or printed tags to enhance comfort.
What is the micron count for this wool?
The Merino wool yarn used for this top is particularly fine, with a micron count of 18.5.
Troubleshooting
Top feels itchy
Ensure you are using a wool-specific detergent and have rinsed thoroughly. Check that the garment is 100% Merino wool, as indicated. The 18.5 micron wool is designed to be non-itchy.
Garment has shrunk after washing
The garment was likely exposed to excessive heat. Hand wash or use a very gentle wool cycle at a low temperature (max 30°C). Always air dry flat and avoid the tumble dryer.
Color fading
Wash with similar colors and use a detergent designed for colored woolens. Avoid direct sunlight during drying.
