Product Information
Full details
This DILLING Baby Merino Wool Fleece Jacket is designed for infants and toddlers seeking comfortable, natural warmth. Its key benefit is the exceptional temperature regulation and breathability of 100% organic merino wool, making it ideal as a mid or outer layer. A potential caveat is that the natural wool fleece may change appearance and fray over time with use and washing, though this does not affect its functional properties.

FAQs
Is merino wool itchy for babies?
No, DILLING uses fine merino wool which is known for its softness and non-itchy properties, making it ideal for sensitive baby skin.
How often should I wash the jacket?
Merino wool is naturally odor-resistant and doesn't require frequent washing. Airing out the jacket between wears can often suffice. Wash only when necessary, following the specific wool care instructions.
Can I use a regular washing machine?
Yes, but only on a dedicated wool cycle (cold or max 30°C) and with a wool-specific detergent. Avoid standard wash cycles, high temperatures, and fabric softeners.
What does 'change appearance over time' mean for this jacket?
It means the natural wool fibers may develop small balls (pills) or slight fraying on the surface due to friction from movement and washing. This is normal for pure wool and does not impact its warmth or breathability.
Is this jacket waterproof?
No, this jacket is made of merino wool fleece and is designed for warmth and breathability, not for waterproofing. It can offer some resistance to light moisture but is not suitable for heavy rain.
What is the best way to dry the jacket?
Always lay the jacket flat to air dry, away from direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight. Avoid using a tumble dryer, as the heat can damage the wool fibers.
Can this jacket be worn year-round?
It's most ideal for transitional seasons (spring and autumn) as an outer or mid-layer. In winter, it can serve as an excellent insulating mid-layer under a heavier outer garment. In summer, it might be too warm unless used in cooler evenings or air-conditioned environments.
Troubleshooting
Jacket appears to be fraying or pilling significantly.
This is a natural characteristic of pure, unblended wool fleece due to wear and washing. It does not affect the material's temperature-regulating or breathable properties. Gentle pilling can be managed with a wool comb.
Jacket feels less soft after washing.
Ensure you are using a wool-specific detergent and washing on a cold/wool cycle. Avoid harsh detergents or high heat, which can affect wool fibers. Lay flat to dry naturally.
Baby seems too warm or too cold.
Merino wool is excellent at temperature regulation, but consider the overall layering system. Adjust other clothing layers if the baby is consistently too warm or too cold. Ensure the jacket is the appropriate size for comfort and layering.
