FAQs

Is merino wool itchy like traditional wool?

No, this base layer uses fine-gauge merino wool, which is much softer and designed specifically to be worn comfortably against the skin.

Can I wash this in a standard washing machine?

You can, provided you use the delicate/wool setting and a cold water temperature. Always avoid biological powders.

How should this fit the child?

It should fit snugly against the skin to perform its moisture-wicking function effectively. Avoid purchasing a size that is too loose.

Can this be worn on its own?

Yes, it can be worn as a standard long-sleeve shirt, though it is primarily designed as a base layer for active outdoor use.

Will it shrink if I accidentally put it in the dryer?

Yes, high heat is the primary cause of shrinkage for merino wool garments. Avoid tumble drying at all costs.

Is the material naturally flame retardant?

Merino wool has a higher ignition point and is safer than many synthetic fabrics, though it should still be kept away from direct fire or sparks.

Troubleshooting

Garment feels slightly itchy

Ensure it is washed with a fabric conditioner suitable for wool, which helps soften fibers.

Small holes appearing in fabric

Merino is a delicate natural fiber; check for rough surfaces or sharp objects in the child's outer layers that may be causing snagging.

Garment has lost shape

This often occurs after tumble drying. Always reshape the garment gently while damp and lay flat on a drying rack.

Pros and Cons

  • Superior natural warmth-to-weight ratio
  • Naturally odor-resistant properties
  • Excellent moisture-wicking and quick-drying performance

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of the Merino II Round Neck Base Layer, follow these care guidelines:

  • Washing: Use a cool, gentle cycle with a detergent specifically formulated for wool. Avoid standard biological detergents, as the enzymes can damage protein fibers.
  • Drying: Always air dry flat away from direct heat sources or radiators. Never tumble dry, as high heat will cause the merino wool to shrink rapidly.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. If storing for extended periods, ensure the item is clean to avoid attracting moths.
  • Layering Compatibility: This top is designed with a slim, ergonomic fit to sit comfortably under heavy sweaters, snow jackets, and insulated vests without creating excess bulk or restricting movement.
