Product Information
Full details
This DILLING Merino Wool Skirt in Cream is designed for active kids seeking comfort and versatility year-round. Its key benefit is the breathable, temperature-regulating merino wool, perfect for various weather conditions. A minor consideration is its A-shape, which, while allowing freedom of movement, may require layering for very cold weather. This skirt is made from 100% organic merino wool with an even rib surface, an A-shape for mobility, and a comfortable elastic waistband.

FAQs
Is this skirt suitable for very cold weather?
The merino wool is naturally insulating, but for very cold weather, we recommend layering the skirt with warm tights or leggings to provide extra warmth.
How often should I wash this merino wool skirt?
Merino wool is naturally odor-resistant and breathable. It often only needs washing after several wears. Airing the garment out between wears can reduce the need for frequent washing.
Can I use a regular detergent?
No, it is best to use a detergent specifically designed for wool. Regular detergents can strip the natural oils from the wool fibers, affecting their softness and durability.
What does 'A-shape' mean for the design?
An A-shape skirt is wider at the hem than at the waist, resembling the letter 'A'. This design provides extra room for movement and is comfortable for active children.
How do I know the correct size for my child?
Please refer to the DILLING size chart, which provides measurements for chest, waist, and height to help you find the best fit for your child's age and build.
Is the cream color prone to staining?
Like any light-colored garment, the cream skirt may show stains more easily. Prompt spot cleaning with a mild detergent and water can help prevent stains from setting.
Troubleshooting
Skirt feels scratchy after washing
Ensure you used a wool-specific detergent and avoided fabric softeners. Reshape the garment while damp and lay flat to dry. Sometimes a few wears can soften the wool again.
Elastic waistband feels too tight or loose
Merino wool can slightly stretch with wear. If too tight, gently stretch the waistband while damp. If too loose, consider if a different size is needed, as merino wool does not typically shrink significantly with proper care.
Shrinking or misshaping of the garment
This usually occurs due to washing at high temperatures or tumble drying. Always follow the cold wash, gentle cycle, and lay-flat drying instructions. Minor reshaping can sometimes be done while damp.
