FAQs

Is merino wool suitable for sensitive skin?

Yes, fine merino wool fibers are exceptionally soft and breathable, making them suitable for sensitive skin. Unlike coarser wools, merino is less likely to cause irritation or itchiness.

How does merino wool regulate temperature?

Merino wool fibers have a natural crimp that creates air pockets, providing insulation in cold weather. In warmer conditions, the fibers wick moisture away from the skin and the material is breathable, helping to keep the wearer cool.

Can this top be worn all year round?

Absolutely. The temperature-regulating properties of merino wool make it ideal for both warm and cold seasons. It acts as a warm layer in winter and a breathable, moisture-wicking layer in summer.

How often should I wash the merino wool top?

Merino wool is naturally odor-resistant and doesn't need frequent washing. Airing out the garment between wears can often suffice. Wash only when necessary, following the specific care instructions.

What does 'organic' merino wool mean?

Organic merino wool is produced from sheep raised under strict organic farming standards, ensuring ethical treatment and a chemical-free environment for the sheep, which translates to a purer fiber.

Is this top suitable for very active children?

Yes, the flexibility and breathability of the merino wool, combined with the garment's stretch rib structure, allow for a wide range of movement, making it suitable for active play.

Are there other colors or sizes available?

This specific product is the blue roll neck top for kids size 3-4. Other sizes and potentially other colors in the DILLING merino wool range are available separately.

Troubleshooting

Wool feels itchy or scratchy

Ensure you are using 100% fine merino wool. Wash the garment according to care instructions with a wool-specific detergent. The fibers will soften further with gentle wear and washing.

Garment has lost its shape

Merino wool is naturally elastic. Lay the garment flat to dry and gently reshape it to its original dimensions while damp. Avoid harsh wringing or stretching.

Pilling has occurred

Some minor pilling can occur with natural fibers. Use a fabric shaver or comb gently to remove pills. Proper washing and drying techniques can minimize pilling over time.
