FAQs
Is this top suitable for very cold weather?
Yes, the natural insulating properties of merino wool make it excellent for cold weather. It can be worn as a base layer under additional warm clothing for maximum warmth.
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 wear. Washing less frequently helps preserve the fibers. Wash when visibly soiled or if odor becomes apparent.
Can I use a regular washing machine?
Yes, but it is crucial to use a wool or delicate cycle with a cold or low temperature (max 30°C) and a specialized wool detergent. Avoid harsh cycles and high temperatures.
Will this top keep my child cool in warmer weather?
Yes, merino wool is also breathable and moisture-wicking, which helps to keep the body cool by drawing moisture away from the skin and allowing for ventilation.
What does 'fine and light' merino wool mean?
'Fine' refers to the thinness of the wool fibers (measured in microns), and 'light' refers to the weight of the fabric. Both contribute to its softness and comfort, making it suitable for all seasons.
How do I store the garment?
It is best to store merino wool garments folded in a drawer or on a shelf rather than hanging them, as hanging can stretch the fabric over time.
Is the black color prone to fading?
DILLING uses quality dyes, but like all colored garments, prolonged exposure to direct sunlight during drying or storage can contribute to fading over time. Washing with appropriate detergents and drying away from direct sun will help maintain the color.
Troubleshooting
Garment feels tight after washing
Merino wool can sometimes shrink slightly if washed or dried at too high a temperature. Ensure you are using the correct wool/delicate cycle and a low temperature (max 30°C). If it has shrunk, you can try gently stretching the garment while it is damp.
Itchy sensation despite being merino wool
While merino wool is known for its softness, individual sensitivities can vary. Ensure the garment has been washed according to care instructions with a suitable detergent. Sometimes, the initial stiffness can be resolved with a proper wash. Check for any external tags or seams that might be causing irritation.
Garment loses shape
Avoid tumble drying and excessive wringing. Lay the garment flat to dry, reshaping it to its original form while damp. Proper storage by folding rather than hanging can also help maintain its shape.
