Extended Product Information
FAQs
Is merino wool suitable for sensitive skin?
Yes, the merino wool used in this top is exceptionally fine (18.5 micron), making it very soft and less likely to cause irritation than coarser wools. It's often recommended for sensitive skin.
How does merino wool regulate temperature?
Merino wool fibers have a natural crimp that traps air, providing insulation in cold weather. In warmer conditions, the fibers wick moisture away from the skin, aiding in cooling.
Can this top be worn year-round?
Yes, due to its excellent temperature-regulating properties, it's suitable for year-round wear as a base layer, providing warmth in winter and breathability in summer.
Why does the label say 'organic' merino wool?
Organic certification ensures the wool comes from sheep raised under specific ethical and environmental standards, without the use of harmful pesticides or chemicals in the farming process.
How often should I wash this top?
Merino wool is naturally odor-resistant. You may find you can wear it multiple times between washes, depending on activity levels. Over-washing can reduce the lifespan of the wool fibers.
Will this top shrink if washed?
If washed according to the care instructions (cold/wool cycle, no tumble dry), shrinkage is minimal. Avoid hot water and high heat drying, as these can cause significant shrinkage.
What does '18.5 micron' mean?
Micron refers to the diameter of the wool fiber. A lower micron count, like 18.5, indicates a finer, softer fiber, which results in a more comfortable and less itchy garment.
Troubleshooting
Garment feels itchy
Ensure you are using a wool-specific detergent and that the garment has been rinsed thoroughly. Very fine merino wool is generally not itchy, but individual sensitivities can vary.
Top has lost its shape
Check that the garment was not exposed to high heat during washing or drying. Lay flat to reshape and air dry. Avoid stretching the garment excessively when wet.
Stains are difficult to remove
For fresh stains, gently dab with a damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a mild wool cleaner and follow care label instructions. Avoid harsh stain removers.
Pilling after wear
Some pilling is natural with wool garments, especially when new. You can gently remove pills with a fabric comb or shaver designed for wool.
