FAQs
What makes merino wool good for kids' clothing?
Merino wool is naturally breathable, temperature-regulating (keeping kids warm in cold and cool in heat), moisture-wicking, and soft on sensitive skin. It's also naturally odor-resistant.
How do I wash this merino wool skirt?
Machine wash on a wool program at max 30°C using a wool-specific detergent. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners. Lay flat to dry.
Can this skirt be worn in all seasons?
Yes, the temperature-regulating properties of merino wool make it suitable for year-round wear. It provides warmth in cooler weather and stays breathable in warmer conditions.
What does 'multi-rib with an irregular surface structure' mean?
This refers to the knitting pattern. It creates a textured, slightly raised pattern on the fabric's surface that is not uniform, adding visual interest and a unique look to the skirt.
What if the elastic waistband twists inside?
The double stitching above and below the elastic band is designed to prevent it from twisting. If this occurs, it might be due to excessive stretching or washing at high temperatures. Ensure proper care is followed.
Is this skirt suitable for very active children?
The merino wool is soft and comfortable, and the A-line cut allows for freedom of movement. However, for extremely vigorous activities with high abrasion, like crawling on rough surfaces, consider pairing with protective leggings or being mindful of wear.
What other sizes and colors are available?

Troubleshooting
Skirt lost shape after washing
Ensure you used a wool-specific detergent and the correct wool wash cycle (30°C maximum). Lay flat to dry instead of hanging, as hanging can stretch wet wool. If shape is significantly altered, try gently reshaping while damp.
Elastic waistband feels tight or loose
The elastic is designed to be secure. If it feels too tight, ensure it was not machine dried at high heat, which can shrink the wool and tighten the waistband. If it feels loose, this may indicate it has been over-stretched during washing or use. Check care label for correct washing procedures.
Merino wool feels itchy
Genuine merino wool should be soft. Ensure you are using a wool-specific detergent, as some regular detergents can strip the natural lanolin. Check that the garment has not been washed with harsh chemicals or at too high a temperature.
