FAQs

Is merino wool itchy for children?

No, 100% organic merino wool, especially when processed for softness like DILLING's, is designed to be very gentle and non-itchy against the skin, even for children with sensitive skin.

How often should I wash this merino wool t-shirt?

Merino wool is naturally odor-resistant and breathable. You don't need to wash it after every wear. Airing it out between uses can often refresh the garment. Wash when visibly soiled or when odor is present.

Can I use a regular detergent?

It is highly recommended to use a detergent specifically designed for wool. Regular detergents can be too harsh and strip the natural lanolin from the wool fibers, reducing their softness and performance.

What activities is this t-shirt suitable for?

This T-shirt is versatile and suitable for a wide range of activities, including everyday play, school, hiking, camping, and as a base layer for sports in cooler weather.

How does merino wool regulate temperature?

Merino wool fibers have a natural crimp that creates air pockets, trapping body heat in cooler conditions. In warmer conditions, the fibers can wick moisture away from the skin, promoting evaporative cooling.

What does the 'rib structure' mean?

The subtle rib knit structure refers to the pattern of the fabric weave. This specific structure provides enhanced stretch and flexibility, allowing the garment to move with the child's body comfortably.

Troubleshooting

T-shirt feels itchy after washing.

Ensure you are using a wool-specific detergent and that no fabric softener was used. Check that the garment was not exposed to high heat during washing or drying.

Garment has lost some elasticity.

This can happen if the garment was washed or dried at high temperatures. For future washes, use cold water and lay flat to dry. Gentle stretching while damp may help restore some shape.

Small holes appear after wear.

Inspect for snags from sharp objects. While merino wool is durable, sharp points can cause damage. Ensure proper washing and drying techniques are followed to minimize fiber stress.
