FAQs
What makes this sweatshirt suitable for sensitive skin?
The sweatshirt is made from soft, organic merino wool terry, which is known for its fine fibers and natural breathability. This material is less likely to irritate sensitive skin compared to coarser wools or synthetic fabrics.
How does merino wool regulate temperature?
Merino wool fibers can absorb and release moisture vapor, helping to keep the wearer dry. They also have a natural crimp that traps air, providing insulation in cooler temperatures and allowing heat to escape when it's warmer.
Is this sweatshirt waterproof?
No, this sweatshirt is not waterproof. It is designed as a breathable mid-layer for warmth and comfort. For protection against rain, an additional waterproof outer layer is recommended.
Can this sweatshirt be worn year-round?
Yes, thanks to its temperature-regulating properties, it can be worn in various seasons. It's an excellent layering piece for colder months and a comfortable, breathable option for milder days or indoor wear.
How do I care for the merino wool terry fabric?
It is best to machine wash on a gentle wool cycle at 30°C with a wool-specific detergent and lay flat to dry. Avoid tumble drying, bleach, and fabric softeners to preserve the fabric's quality.
What is the difference between merino wool and regular wool?
Merino wool comes from Merino sheep and has much finer fibers than traditional wool, making it softer, less itchy, and more breathable. It also has superior moisture-wicking and temperature-regulating capabilities.
Troubleshooting
Sweatshirt feels itchy.
Ensure the garment is washed according to care instructions to soften the fibers. Organic merino wool is generally soft, but initial washes can further enhance this. Check for any tags or seams that might be causing irritation.
Shrinking after washing.
Always follow the recommended washing and drying instructions precisely. Avoid hot water and machine drying, as these can cause wool to shrink. Lay flat to dry.
Pilling on the fabric surface.
Some pilling is natural with wool fibers, especially in high-friction areas. You can gently remove pills with a wool comb or fabric shaver. Proper washing and avoiding excessive rubbing can minimize this.
