FAQs
What is merino wool terry?
Merino wool terry is a knitted fabric made from merino wool. It is slightly thicker than standard merino wool knit, featuring soft loops on one side (like terry cloth) and a smooth finish on the other. This construction makes it exceptionally soft, warm, and comfortable for baby clothing.
Is merino wool suitable for sensitive baby skin?
Yes, merino wool is known for its fineness and softness, which makes it much less likely to cause itching or irritation compared to coarser wools. It is naturally hypoallergenic and breathable, further enhancing comfort for sensitive skin.
How do I wash this one-piece to maintain its quality?
Machine wash on a wool program (max 30°C) using a wool-specific detergent. Do not use bleach or fabric softeners. Dry flat and reshape while damp. Avoid tumble drying.
Can this be worn all year round?
Merino wool's temperature-regulating properties make it suitable for year-round use. It provides warmth in cooler weather and is breathable enough for milder temperatures. You may need to adjust other layers based on the season.
Why does it have a zip down one leg?
The zip down one leg is a practical design feature that makes it easier for parents to put the one-piece on and take it off the baby, especially during diaper changes, without having to remove the entire garment.
What does 'mid-layer' mean in this context?
A mid-layer is clothing worn between a base layer (next to the skin) and an outer layer (like a jacket or snowsuit). This one-piece, due to its warmth and thickness, functions effectively as a comfortable and insulating mid-layer.
Does this garment shrink easily?
Merino wool can shrink if exposed to high heat or agitated washing. By following the cold wash (30°C) and gentle wool program instructions, and avoiding tumble drying, shrinkage can be prevented.
Troubleshooting
Garment feels itchy or rough after washing.
Ensure you are using a wool-specific detergent and the correct wool wash cycle on your machine. Avoid fabric softeners. Reshape and dry flat. The softness should return after gentle wear.
Garment has lost its shape.
Merino wool can stretch if handled improperly. Ensure you are reshaping the garment while damp and drying it flat. Avoid wringing or excessive stretching during washing.
Stains are difficult to remove.
Treat stains gently and as soon as possible. For stubborn stains, try a specialized wool stain remover, following its instructions carefully. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Baby feels too warm or too cold.
Adjust the layers. This garment is designed for temperature regulation, but optimal comfort depends on external conditions and other clothing. Add or remove layers as needed.
