FAQs

Is merino wool suitable for sensitive skin?

Yes, merino wool fibers are very fine and soft, making them less likely to cause irritation than coarser wools. Many people with sensitive skin find merino wool comfortable.

How often should I wash this top?

Thanks to its natural odor-resistant properties, you can wear this top multiple times between washes. Wash only when necessary to preserve the fibers and reduce environmental impact.

Can I wear this in warm weather?

Merino wool is breathable and helps regulate temperature, so it can be comfortable in moderate warmth. However, it is primarily designed for warmth and may feel warm in very hot conditions.

What makes merino wool odor-resistant?

Merino wool fibers have a natural ability to absorb and neutralize odor-causing molecules, meaning they don't easily hold onto smells like synthetic materials do.

What is the difference between this and a synthetic base layer?

Merino wool offers superior natural breathability, temperature regulation, and odor resistance compared to most synthetics. It's also biodegradable and renewable.

How do I care for the lace trim?

The lace trim is delicate. We recommend washing on a gentle cycle, avoiding harsh detergents, and laying the garment flat to dry. Iron on a low setting, being careful not to press directly on the lace.

Troubleshooting

Top feels itchy

Ensure you are using a wool-specific detergent and that the garment is properly rinsed. Natural merino wool is generally very soft, but minor irritation can occur with initial wear or improper washing.

Shrinkage after washing

Always follow the recommended washing temperature (max 30°C) and avoid tumble drying. If shrinkage has occurred, gently reshape the garment while damp and lay flat to dry.

Loss of shape

Ensure the garment is laid flat to dry after washing and avoid hanging it for storage. Gentle handling during washing will also help maintain its shape.
