FAQs
Is merino wool itchy for children?
No, DILLING uses high-quality, fine merino wool which is naturally soft and not itchy, making it comfortable for children's sensitive skin.
How often should I wash this sweatshirt?
Merino wool is naturally odor-resistant. You can often wear it multiple times between washes. Wash only when necessary, using the wool program on your washing machine.
Can this sweatshirt be worn in warm weather?
While primarily a warming layer, merino wool is breathable and can wick moisture, so it can be comfortable in mild temperatures. However, its dense quality makes it best suited for cooler weather.
What does 'mid-layer' mean?
A mid-layer is worn between a base layer (next to the skin) and an outer layer (like a jacket). Its purpose is to provide insulation and trap body heat.
What is the benefit of organic merino wool?
Organic merino wool is produced without harmful pesticides or chemicals, ensuring a more sustainable and environmentally friendly product that is also gentle on the skin.
How does the dense quality affect its performance?
The denser quality provides increased warmth and durability, making it an excellent choice for colder conditions and active use where the garment might experience more wear and tear.
Troubleshooting
Sweatshirt feels stiff after washing
Ensure you used a wool-specific detergent and the correct wool wash cycle. Re-wash on a gentle wool cycle with appropriate detergent if necessary, and ensure it dries flat.
Pilling occurs on the fabric
Some pilling is natural with wool, especially with frequent wear. Use a fabric comb or shaver specifically designed for wool to gently remove pills. Avoid excessive rubbing during washing.
Sweatshirt has lost its shape
Reshape the garment gently while damp and lay it flat to dry. Avoid stretching or wringing out the fabric excessively during washing and drying.
Noticeable odor even after washing
Ensure the garment is thoroughly rinsed. If a persistent odor remains, try airing the garment outdoors for a day, as merino wool is naturally odor-resistant and airing can often refresh it. Ensure you are using a wool-specific detergent.
