Full details
This DILLING Merino Wool Sweatshirt in Red (size 5-6 Years) is designed for active kids needing a warm, breathable mid-layer. Its dense, heavier merino wool construction provides excellent insulation without bulk, making it ideal for layering during outdoor play or cooler indoor environments. A potential caveat is that due to its denser weave, it may feel slightly heavier than lighter-weight merino garments.

FAQs
Is this sweatshirt suitable for very cold weather?
This sweatshirt is designed as an excellent mid-layer. For very cold weather, it should be paired with a warm base layer underneath and a protective outer layer (like a winter jacket) over the top.
How often should I wash my merino wool sweatshirt?
Merino wool is naturally odor-resistant, meaning it can be worn multiple times between washes. Wash only when necessary, following the gentle care instructions. Airing the garment out can often refresh it.
Can I use a regular detergent?
It is highly recommended to use a detergent specifically formulated for wool or delicate fabrics. Regular detergents can contain harsh chemicals that strip the natural lanolin from the wool, reducing its softness and performance.
What does 'organic merino wool' mean?
Organic merino wool comes from sheep raised under strict organic farming standards, which prohibit the use of harmful pesticides and chemicals. It ensures a more sustainable and environmentally friendly production process.
How does merino wool help regulate body temperature?
Merino wool fibers have a natural crimp that creates air pockets, providing insulation by trapping body heat. When the body heats up, the fibers wick moisture away, and the evaporation process helps cool the body down.
What is the benefit of the ribbed edges?
The ribbed edges at the neckline, cuffs, and hem are designed to provide a snug and comfortable fit. They help keep the garment in place, prevent drafts from entering, and minimize heat loss.
Troubleshooting
Merino wool smells after wearing.
Merino wool is naturally odor-resistant. If it retains odors, ensure it is washed according to care instructions with a wool-friendly detergent. Airing out the garment between wears can also help.
Sweatshirt feels itchy.
High-quality merino wool, especially organic types like DILLING's, is generally very soft. If itching occurs, ensure the garment is clean and properly rinsed. It may also be a sign of sensitivity to wool; consider layering over a thin cotton base layer.
Garment has lost its shape.
Merino wool can stretch if hung for extended periods or subjected to excessive heat during washing/drying. Re-shape the garment gently while damp and lay flat to dry. Ensure you are following the recommended washing and drying instructions.
Shrinking after washing.
Shrinking typically occurs due to hot water or machine drying. Always wash in cold water on a gentle cycle and lay flat to dry. Check that the care label is being followed precisely.

Care Instructions:
To maintain the quality and longevity of your merino wool sweatshirt:
- Washing: Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle using a wool-specific detergent. Avoid using bleach or fabric softeners.
- Drying: Lay the garment flat to dry. Do not tumble dry, as high heat can damage the wool fibers.
- Ironing: If necessary, iron on a low setting, preferably while the garment is slightly damp.
- Storage: Store folded in a cool, dry place. Avoid hanging for long periods, which can cause stretching.
