FAQs
Is this top suitable for sensitive skin?
Yes, the extra-fine merino wool (18.5 micron) is exceptionally soft and naturally hypoallergenic, making it comfortable for sensitive skin.
How does merino wool regulate temperature?
Merino wool fibers have a unique structure that traps air, providing insulation in cold weather. They also wick moisture away from the skin and release it into the air, helping to keep the wearer cool and dry in warmer conditions.
Can I wear this top in summer?
Yes, merino wool is breathable and moisture-wicking, making it suitable for warmer weather as a light layer or on its own. It helps to keep the skin cool and dry.
How often should I wash this top?
Merino wool is naturally odor-resistant. You can often air out the garment instead of washing it after each wear. Wash only when necessary, following the care instructions carefully.
What is the difference between this and regular wool?
This top uses merino wool, which has much finer fibers than traditional wool. This fineness results in a softer, lighter, and less itchy fabric that drapes better and is more comfortable against the skin.
Does DILLING use sustainable practices?
Yes, DILLING prioritizes organic and sustainable materials, including the 100% organic merino wool used in this garment, and often emphasizes ethical production processes.
Troubleshooting
Garment feels stiff after washing
This can sometimes happen with wool. Ensure you used a wool-specific detergent and washed on a low temperature. Lay flat to dry and gently reshape. Avoid harsh detergents or high heat drying.
Pilling on the surface
Pilling is natural with knitwear, especially merino wool. Gently remove pills with a fabric shaver or by hand. Reduce friction during wear and washing to minimize future pilling.
Shrinkage after washing
Ensure you followed the washing instructions precisely (30°C wool program, no tumble dry). If shrinkage occurs, gently stretch the garment back to its original shape while damp and lay flat to dry.
Fading color
Wash inside out using a wool detergent and avoid direct sunlight during drying. High temperatures or harsh detergents can cause fading.
