Extended Product Information
FAQs
Is merino wool suitable for sensitive skin?
Yes, 100% organic merino wool is known for its exceptional softness and breathability, making it ideal for children with sensitive skin as it is less likely to cause irritation than traditional wool.
How does merino wool keep my child warm?
Merino wool fibers have natural crimps that trap air, creating an insulating layer. This trapped air helps to keep body heat in, providing warmth without bulk.
Can this top be worn in summer?
Yes, merino wool is naturally thermoregulating. Its breathability and moisture-wicking properties help to keep children cool and dry even in warmer temperatures by drawing moisture away from the skin.
What is the benefit of the rib structure?
The fine, close rib structure enhances the garment's flexibility and stretch, allowing for a greater range of movement during active play and ensuring a comfortable, snug fit.
How often should I wash this merino wool top?
Merino wool is naturally odor-resistant. You can wear it multiple times between washes. Wash only when necessary, following the specific care instructions to maintain the wool's quality and longevity.
What is the best way to dry merino wool?
Always dry merino wool flat, away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, and never tumble dry. This helps the garment maintain its shape and prevents shrinkage.
Does DILLING use sustainable materials?
Yes, DILLING focuses on natural and sustainable materials. This top is made from 100% organic merino wool, a renewable and biodegradable resource.
Troubleshooting
Top feels scratchy
Ensure you are using a wool-specific detergent and that the garment has been washed according to care instructions. Organic merino wool is naturally soft, but improper washing can affect texture. Try re-washing with a gentle wool wash.
Garment has lost its shape
Merino wool can be sensitive to heat. Ensure you are washing in cool water (max 30°C) and that it has been laid flat to dry, not hung or tumble-dried. Gentle reshaping while damp may help.
Reduced breathability or moisture-wicking
Check for residue from fabric softeners or harsh detergents. Re-wash with a wool-specific detergent and rinse thoroughly. Ensure no synthetic layers are directly underneath that could impede moisture transfer.
Pilling on the surface
Some pilling is natural with wool, especially in high-friction areas. This can often be gently removed with a fabric shaver designed for wool. Proper washing and handling will minimize pilling over time.
