FAQs
Is this top suitable for very cold weather?
Yes, 100% organic merino wool is an excellent insulator and is designed to keep children warm in cold weather. The special knitting technique further enhances its warmth.
How do I know if I've bought the right size?
The size '7-8' corresponds to UK children's sizing. It's best to refer to a sizing chart if available or measure the child to ensure a comfortable, snug fit without being restrictive.
Can this top be worn directly against the skin?
Yes, merino wool is known for its softness and is typically non-itchy, making it ideal for wearing directly against sensitive skin as a base layer.
How often should I wash this merino wool top?
Merino wool is naturally odor-resistant, so it doesn't need to be washed after every use. Airing it out between wears can extend its freshness. Wash when it appears visibly dirty or starts to retain odor.
Will the pattern fade after washing?
Following the care instructions, especially washing on a gentle cycle at 30°C and washing inside out, will help preserve the pattern's vibrancy.
What does 'Nordic pattern' mean in this context?
The 'Nordic pattern' refers to a design inspired by the nature and traditional aesthetics of Nordic countries, often featuring geometric shapes and winter motifs, creating a cozy atmosphere.
Troubleshooting
Top feels itchy
Ensure you are using 100% merino wool. If the issue persists, try washing it with a wool-specific detergent and drying it flat. Merino wool is generally soft, but individual sensitivities can vary.
Garment has lost its shape after washing
Merino wool garments should ideally be laid flat to dry. Avoid wringing or stretching the fabric. If the shape is lost, try re-shaping it gently while damp and laying it flat to dry again.
Odor persists after washing
Ensure you are using a wool-specific detergent and that the garment is thoroughly rinsed. Merino wool is naturally odor-resistant, so persistent odors might indicate insufficient cleaning. A second rinse cycle may help.
