FAQs
Is this top suitable for sensitive skin?
Yes, 100% organic merino wool is naturally soft and hypoallergenic, making it a good choice for sensitive skin. It helps regulate body temperature, reducing the chances of overheating and irritation.
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, promoting cooling through evaporation.
Can this top be worn year-round?
Yes, the temperature-regulating properties of merino wool make it suitable for year-round wear. It provides warmth in winter and breathability in summer.
What does '8x1 quality' refer to?
'8x1 quality' refers to the specific ribbed structure of the knit. It indicates a wide, uniform rib, characteristic of DILLING's durable knitwear.
How do I choose the right size?
Refer to the size chart provided by the brand, considering the child's measurements. This top has a regular and relaxed fit, so it should allow for some flexibility. The specific size for this variant is 5-6 years.
Is it machine washable?
Yes, it is machine washable on a wool or delicate cycle at a maximum of 30-40°C, using a wool-specific detergent. Avoid harsh detergents and high heat.
What other colors and sizes are available?
This specific product is a children's half-zip top in Black, size 5-6. Other sizes in Black and potentially other colors may be available from the brand DILLING, as indicated by the sibling products.
Troubleshooting
Garment feels itchy
Ensure the garment has been washed according to care instructions. Organic merino wool is generally soft, but a wash can soften it further. Check that the care label is not irritating.
Shrinking after washing
The garment may have been washed at too high a temperature or agitated too vigorously. Always use a wool cycle and cool/lukewarm water (max 30-40°C). Avoid tumble drying.
Loss of shape
Merino wool can stretch if hung wet for extended periods. Always lay flat to dry or use a drying rack. If stretching has occurred, try re-washing on a gentle cycle and laying flat to dry.
