FAQs
What makes merino wool good for base layers?
Merino wool is excellent for base layers due to its natural ability to regulate body temperature, its breathability, softness, and inherent resistance to odors, which allows for extended wear.
Can I wear this top on its own or does it need to be layered?
While designed as a base layer, its attractive lace trim allows it to be worn as a standalone top in warmer conditions or for casual occasions.
How often should I wash this merino wool top?
Merino wool is naturally odor-resistant, so you can wear it multiple times between washes. Wash only when necessary, based on odor or visible soiling, to prolong its lifespan.
Is this top suitable for sensitive skin?
Yes, merino wool fibers are very fine and soft, making them less likely to cause irritation than traditional wool. Many people with sensitive skin find merino wool comfortable.
What is the fit of this strap top?
The strap top has a body-hugging, close-fitting design to ensure it stays in place and provides optimal warmth as a base layer.
How do I care for the lace trim?
The lace trim is delicate. It's best to wash on a gentle cycle, avoid high heat, and lay flat to dry. Handle the garment carefully to prevent snagging the lace.
Does this top come in other colors and sizes?
This specific product is the brown, UK size 6. The DILLING Strap Top is available in a range of colors and sizes; please check the product listing for other options.
Troubleshooting
Top feels itchy or uncomfortable
Ensure you are using a wool-specific detergent and that the garment has been washed according to care instructions. High-quality merino wool should be soft, but initial washes can sometimes improve feel.
Garment loses shape after washing
Avoid machine drying and excessive heat. Reshape the garment while damp and lay it flat to dry. Follow the recommended washing temperature (max 30°C).
Minor snagging on lace trim
Handle the garment with care, especially around the delicate lace. If a snag occurs, try to gently tease it back into place rather than pulling.
Persistent odor after washing
Ensure you are using an appropriate wool detergent and that the garment is thoroughly rinsed. If odors persist, a specialized wool refresher might help, or a longer soak in cool water with wool detergent.
