FAQs
Is merino wool itchy for children?
No, 100% organic merino wool is known for its fine fibers, which make it exceptionally soft and non-itchy, even for sensitive skin.
Can this top be worn in summer?
Yes, merino wool is breathable and regulates temperature effectively, making it suitable for warmer weather by wicking moisture away.
How do I know if I'm using the right washing detergent?
Look for detergents explicitly labeled for 'wool' or 'delicates.' These are formulated to be gentle and pH-neutral, preventing damage to the wool fibers.
What does the '8x1 quality' mean?
This refers to the specific ribbed knit structure used, characterized by its wide, uniform ribbing, which contributes to the garment's flexibility and fit.
Can I tumble dry this top?
No, tumble drying is not recommended as the heat and tumbling action can cause shrinkage and damage the merino wool fibers. Always air dry flat.
Is this top suitable as a base layer for skiing?
Yes, its moisture-wicking and insulating properties make it an excellent choice for a base layer in cold weather activities like skiing.
Troubleshooting
Garment feels stiff after washing.
This can happen if the wrong detergent was used or if the wash cycle was too harsh. Ensure you use a wool-specific detergent and a gentle wool cycle. Lay flat to dry, avoiding direct heat.
Merino wool smells after moderate wear.
Merino wool is naturally odor-resistant. If it retains odors, ensure it was washed thoroughly with a suitable detergent and allowed to air out completely. Re-washing with a wool-specific cleaner may help.
Shrinkage occurred after washing.
Merino wool can shrink if exposed to high heat or agitated aggressively. Always follow the 30°C wool cycle and avoid tumble drying. If slight shrinkage has occurred, try stretching the garment gently while damp and laying it flat to dry.
