FAQs
Is this sweatshirt suitable for sensitive skin?
Yes, 100% organic merino wool is naturally soft and breathable, making it a good choice for children with sensitive skin. However, individual sensitivities can vary.
How often should I wash the merino wool sweatshirt?
Merino wool is naturally odor-resistant. You can often air out the garment between wears instead of washing. Wash only when necessary, following the specific care instructions for wool.
Can I use a regular detergent to wash this sweatshirt?
It is highly recommended to use a detergent specifically formulated for wool or delicates. Regular detergents can strip the natural lanolin from wool fibers and damage them.
What does 'denser and has more weight' mean for the sweatshirt's performance?
This indicates a thicker knit, which provides more insulation and warmth compared to lighter-weight merino wool fabrics. It's designed to be a substantial mid-layer.
What is the best way to dry the sweatshirt?
Always lay the sweatshirt flat to dry. Avoid wringing or tumble drying, as this can cause shrinkage and damage the wool fibers. Reshape it while damp to maintain its form.
How can I tell if I'm buying the right size?
Refer to the size chart provided for DILLING children's clothing. The 'size_children_uk' attribute in the product information (e.g., '3-4') refers to the UK sizing convention.
Troubleshooting
Sweatshirt feels itchy
Ensure you are using a wool-specific detergent and have rinsed thoroughly. High-quality merino wool is typically soft; an itchy feel might indicate residue. If the issue persists, consider it may be a personal sensitivity to wool, even organic types.
Shrinking after washing
Always wash on a cold wool cycle and avoid high temperatures. Lay flat to dry, do not tumble dry. Reshape the garment while damp to help maintain its original size.
Pilling on the surface
Some pilling is natural with wool fibers, especially with friction. You can gently remove pills with a fabric shaver or by hand. Washing inside out can help minimize this.
Sweatshirt feels too warm
This sweatshirt is designed as a warmer mid-layer. For milder weather, consider layering it over a lighter base layer or opting for a thinner merino wool item. Ensure it's not combined with too many other insulating layers in warmer conditions.
