FAQs
Is this top suitable for very cold weather?
Yes, the blend of merino wool and silk provides excellent natural warmth and insulation, making it a great choice for cold conditions as a base layer.
How often should I wash this top?
Thanks to the natural odor-resistant properties of merino wool, you can wear this top multiple times between washes. Wash when visibly soiled or when odor becomes noticeable.
Can I wear this top for intense exercise?
While breathable and moisture-wicking, it's best suited for moderate activities like hiking or yoga. For very high-intensity sports, consider a dedicated performance base layer, though this top can still offer excellent comfort.
What makes merino wool and silk a good combination?
Merino wool provides warmth, breathability, and odor control, while silk adds an exceptionally soft feel against the skin and enhances the garment's drape and luxuriousness.
How do I care for the delicate lace trim?
The lace trim should be treated gently. Hand washing or a very delicate machine cycle with minimal agitation is recommended. Avoid harsh detergents or high heat, especially during drying.
Will this top shrink if washed incorrectly?
Yes, like most natural wool and silk blends, this top can shrink if exposed to high heat or aggressive washing/drying methods. Always follow the cold wash and lay flat to dry instructions.
Troubleshooting
Top feels itchy or rough
Ensure you are using a wool-specific detergent. Wash the garment according to care instructions. The natural fibers should soften with wear and proper washing.
Garment has lost its shape
Merino wool can be sensitive to heat and agitation. Ensure you have followed the cold wash and lay flat to dry instructions carefully. Avoid wringing.
Odor persists after washing
Ensure you are using a suitable wool detergent and that the garment has been rinsed thoroughly. Airing the garment outdoors can also help refresh the fibers.
