FAQs
What is Merino wool and why is it used in this top?
Merino wool is a natural fiber from Merino sheep, known for its exceptional softness, breathability, temperature regulation, and odor resistance. It's used here to provide a comfortable, warm, and versatile base layer.
How often should I wash this camisole?
Thanks to the natural odor-resistant properties of Merino wool, you can wear this top more often between washes. Wash only when necessary to preserve the fibers and their natural qualities.
Can I machine wash the strap top?
Yes, you can machine wash it on a delicate cycle with cold or lukewarm water (max 30°C) and a wool-specific detergent. It is recommended to use a mesh laundry bag to protect the delicate lace.
How should I dry the Merino wool camisole?
Do not tumble dry. It should be laid flat to air dry. Avoid wringing it out, as this can damage the wool fibers and distort the shape.
Is this top suitable for sensitive skin?
Merino wool is generally very fine and soft, making it suitable for sensitive skin. However, individual reactions can vary. Washing according to the care instructions helps maintain its softness.
What is the purpose of the lace trim?
The delicate lace elastic trim along the straps and neckline is an aesthetic detail that adds a touch of elegance and exclusivity to the garment.
Can this top be worn in warm weather?
While primarily designed for warmth, Merino wool is also breathable and moisture-wicking. It can help keep you comfortable in milder or transitional weather by regulating body temperature.
Troubleshooting
Garment loses shape after washing.
Ensure you are following the care instructions precisely, especially regarding water temperature and avoiding harsh spin cycles. Lay flat to dry and avoid wringing.
Irritation or itching from the fabric.
Merino wool is generally soft, but if irritation occurs, ensure the garment is washed according to instructions. Consider wearing a lighter layer underneath if sensitivity persists.
Lace trim appears damaged.
This is likely due to improper washing or snagging. Always hand wash or use a delicate cycle in a mesh laundry bag. Avoid rough handling of the lace.
Odor does not dissipate after washing.
Ensure you are using a wool-specific detergent and that the garment is thoroughly rinsed. For persistent odors, a soak in cool water with a bit of white vinegar can sometimes help, followed by a proper wash.
