FAQs
Is the wool itchy?
The wool used is of a high quality designed for clothing, though individual sensitivity varies. It is generally smooth and comfortable for direct skin contact.
Does it require a special detergent?
Yes, always use a neutral detergent specifically formulated for wool or delicates to prevent stripping natural oils from the fibers.
Can I wear this in the summer?
While wool is breathable, it is designed for warmth. It is best suited for cooler months or transitional weather rather than high-summer heat.
How do I choose the right size?
The tank features a regular fit. You should select your standard size, keeping in mind if you plan to wear thick layers underneath.
What does RWS certification mean?
It stands for Responsible Wool Standard, which ensures the wool is sourced from farms that prioritize animal welfare and healthy land management.
Can I machine wash this?
Machine washing is generally discouraged for pure wool as it can cause significant shrinkage. Hand washing or professional dry cleaning is the safest method.
Troubleshooting
The fabric has developed small pills or fuzz.
Gently use a fabric shaver or a sweater comb specifically designed for wool to remove surface pills without damaging the knit.
The garment has lost its shape.
Avoid hanging the tank. Dampen slightly and gently reshape on a flat surface, then allow to dry horizontally.
Accidental shrinkage after washing.
Soak the garment in lukewarm water with a small amount of hair conditioner to relax the fibers, then gently stretch back to size while damp.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Whistles Sleeveless Wool Tank, adhere to the following care instructions:
- Cleaning: Due to the delicate nature of pure wool, dry cleaning is recommended to maintain the fabric integrity. If hand washing, use a dedicated wool detergent in cool water and never agitate or wring the fabric.
- Drying: Never tumble dry. Lay the garment flat on a clean towel in its natural shape to air dry away from direct sunlight.
- Storage: Fold the garment rather than hanging it to prevent the shoulders from stretching out over time. Use moth-repellent protection in your wardrobe.
- Compatibility: The regular fit allows it to pair perfectly with denim, trousers, or skirts. It is designed to fit true to size, but consider your preferred layering thickness when choosing your specific fit.
