FAQs

Is merino wool itchy for children?

DILLING uses very fine, organic merino wool, which is naturally soft and non-itchy, even for sensitive skin. The fibers are much finer than traditional wool, making it comfortable for all-day wear.

Can this top be worn year-round?

Yes, merino wool is excellent for temperature regulation. It keeps children warm in the cold and cool in the heat by wicking away moisture and allowing the skin to breathe.

How often should I wash this top?

Merino wool is naturally odor-resistant and self-cleaning to an extent. You can often air it out between wears. Wash only when necessary, following the gentle care instructions. Overwashing can reduce the lifespan of the wool.

What is the benefit of the rib structure?

The subtle rib structure provides the fabric with excellent stretch and flexibility, allowing for freedom of movement during play without the garment becoming misshapen.

Is this top suitable for sensitive skin?

Absolutely. Organic merino wool is hypoallergenic and very gentle on the skin, making it an ideal choice for children prone to irritation or eczema.

What does 'temperature-regulating' mean for a child?

It means the wool fibers adapt to the body's temperature. If the child is cold, the wool traps heat. If the child gets warm, the wool allows excess heat and moisture to escape, preventing them from getting clammy.

Troubleshooting

Garment feels itchy.

Ensure you are using a pure merino wool garment and have washed it according to care instructions. Sometimes a few washes can soften the fibers further. Avoid harsh detergents.

Top has lost its shape.

This can happen if the garment was washed too hot, tumbled dried, or hung for too long. Gently reshape the garment while damp and lay flat to dry. For future washes, adhere strictly to the lay-flat drying method.

Pilling (small balls of fiber) appears on the surface.

Pilling is natural for wool fibers, especially with friction. This can be reduced by washing inside out and using a gentle cycle. You can carefully remove pills with a fabric comb or shaver designed for wool.

Odors are not dissipating after washing.

Ensure you are using an appropriate wool detergent and that the garment is thoroughly rinsed. Occasionally, airing the garment outdoors on a dry day can help refresh the wool's natural properties.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

This top requires minimal setup as it is ready to wear. Its primary function is as a layering piece, making it compatible with a wide range of outerwear and mid-layers.

Care Instructions:

  • Washing: Machine wash on a wool or delicate cycle at a maximum of 30°C (86°F). Use a wool-specific detergent. Avoid fabric softeners.
  • Drying: Do not tumble dry. Lay flat to dry, preferably on a towel, away from direct sunlight or heat. Reshape while damp.
  • Ironing: If necessary, iron on a low heat setting. Avoid high temperatures.
  • Storage: Store folded in a drawer or on a shelf. Avoid hanging for extended periods, as this can stretch the garment.
