Product Information
Full details
This DILLING long sleeve top is designed for children seeking comfortable, all-season wear. Its key benefit is the natural thermoregulation and breathability of its merino wool and silk blend, keeping kids warm and dry. A potential consideration is that the natural fibers may stretch slightly during wear but will contract after washing. Key features include a soft, fine blend of organic merino wool and silk, a high neckline, frilled edges, a subtle pointelle pattern, and a flexible, close-fitting design.

FAQs
What makes this top suitable for all seasons?
The blend of organic merino wool and silk is naturally thermoregulating and breathable. It helps keep children warm in cooler temperatures by trapping body heat and cool in warmer conditions by allowing moisture to evaporate, maintaining a comfortable body temperature year-round.
How should I wash this merino wool and silk top?
It is recommended to machine wash on a wool program at a maximum of 30°C using a detergent specifically for wool and silk. Avoid bleach and tumble drying. Lay flat to dry naturally.
Will the top shrink if I wash it?
When washed according to the provided instructions (wool program, max 30°C, wool detergent), the top should not shrink. The wool fibers are designed to contract slightly to return the garment to its original shape after stretching during wear.
Is this top itchy for children?
No, the top is made from a particularly fine blend of organic merino wool and silk, which creates a comfortably lightweight and airy feel. It is designed to be soft against the skin and is ideal for children, including those with sensitive skin.
What does 'pointelle pattern' mean?
Pointelle is a knitting technique that creates a delicate, often openwork pattern, typically featuring small holes or eyelets in a decorative design. This adds a subtle visual texture to the garment.
The top seems a bit loose after my child wore it. What should I do?
This is normal for wool garments. The fibers have natural elasticity and may stretch slightly during wear. Simply wash the top according to the care instructions, and the wool fibers will contract, restoring the garment to its original fit.
Can I tumble dry this top?
No, it is important not to tumble dry this garment. Tumble drying can damage the delicate merino wool and silk fibers and cause excessive shrinkage. Always lay flat to dry naturally.
Troubleshooting
Garment feels stretched out after wear.
Gently wash the top following the care instructions. The merino wool fibers will naturally contract back to their original shape after washing.
Skin irritation.
Ensure the garment is washed before first wear. The fine merino wool and silk blend is designed to be soft, but if irritation persists, consult the product material composition.
Loss of shape after washing.
Ensure you are using a wool-specific detergent and the correct wool wash cycle on your machine (max 30°C). Avoid harsh spinning and do not tumble dry. Lay flat to dry.
Fabric feels stiff after washing.
This can sometimes happen if a non-wool detergent is used. Re-wash using a wool-specific detergent on a gentle wool cycle.
