FAQs
Can I wear this top in warm weather?
While designed for warmth, merino wool is also highly breathable and moisture-wicking, making it suitable for regulating temperature even in milder conditions. It's lighter than many synthetic base layers.
How often should I wash this top?
Thanks to merino wool's natural odor-resistant properties, you can wear this top multiple times between washes. Wash only when necessary to prolong its life and preserve the fibers.
What is the difference between this and a regular cotton camisole?
Merino wool offers superior warmth, breathability, and odor resistance compared to cotton. Cotton tends to hold moisture and can feel cold when wet, whereas merino wool continues to insulate and wick moisture away from the skin.
Is this top suitable for sensitive skin?
Merino wool is known for its fine fibers, which are generally soft and less likely to cause irritation than coarser wools. However, individuals with extreme sensitivities may still find it best to test or choose other materials.
Can I put this top in the washing machine?
Yes, you can machine wash it on a gentle or wool cycle with cold water, using a wool-specific detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners or bleach. Always air dry.
What does 'body-hugging fit' mean?
It means the garment is designed to fit closely to your body's shape, providing a sleek profile for effective layering and insulation without excess bulk.
Does the lace trim add any discomfort?
The lace trim is made with elastic for comfort and is designed to lay flat. However, individual sensitivity to lace or elastic can vary.
Troubleshooting
Top feels itchy or uncomfortable
Ensure you are using a wool-specific detergent and have rinsed thoroughly. Some individuals may have sensitivities even to fine merino wool. Check if the garment has been washed correctly according to care instructions.
Merino wool appears to have lost shape after washing
Merino wool is delicate. Ensure you are washing on a cold, gentle cycle and laying flat to dry. Avoid wringing or stretching the garment while wet. Reshape gently while damp.
Lace trim snagged or damaged
Handle the lace trim with care during washing and wearing to avoid snags. If minor snags occur, try to gently smooth them out. For significant damage, repair may be difficult due to the delicate nature of the lace.
