FAQs
Is merino wool itchy?
High-quality merino wool, like that used by DILLING, is known for its fine fibers which make it very soft and non-itchy for most people. The fibers are much finer than traditional wool.
How often should I wash my merino wool tank top?
Thanks to its natural odor-resistant properties, you can wear your merino wool tank top multiple times between washes. Wash only when necessary to preserve the fibers and reduce environmental impact.
Can I wear this tank top in summer?
Yes, merino wool is breathable and moisture-wicking, making it comfortable to wear year-round. It helps regulate body temperature, keeping you cool in warmer weather by wicking away sweat.
What is the best detergent for merino wool?
It is best to use a detergent specifically designed for wool or delicate fabrics. Avoid harsh detergents, bleach, and fabric softeners, as they can damage the natural wool fibers.
How do I dry my merino wool tank top?
Never tumble dry merino wool. Lay the garment flat to dry, away from direct heat or sunlight, and gently reshape it while damp.
What does 'base layer' mean?
A base layer is the garment worn closest to the skin. Its primary function is to wick moisture away from the body and help regulate temperature, keeping you comfortable during physical activity or in varying climates.
Is this product suitable for sensitive skin?
Merino wool is often recommended for sensitive skin due to its softness and breathability. However, individual sensitivities can vary. It's generally much less irritating than coarser wools.
Troubleshooting
Garment feels itchy.
Ensure you are using a high-quality, fine merino wool product. Wash the garment before first wear according to care instructions. If itchiness persists, it might indicate a sensitivity to wool. For future purchases, look for extra-fine merino wool.
Tank top lost its shape after washing.
Avoid harsh washing cycles and high temperatures. Always lay the garment flat to dry, gently reshaping it while damp. Do not wring or tumble dry.
Persistent odor after washing.
Ensure you are using a wool-specific detergent and that the garment is thoroughly rinsed. Double-check that the care instructions are being followed. Sometimes, a prolonged airing out can help dissipate lingering odors.
Pilling on the fabric.
Pilling can occur with natural fibers like merino wool, especially with friction. This is normal and can be managed by gently removing pills with a fabric shaver. Washing inside out and using a laundry bag can help minimize pilling.

Care Instructions:
To maintain the quality and longevity of your merino wool tank top:
- Washing: Machine wash on a wool program (or gentle cycle) at a maximum of 30-40°C (86-104°F). Use a wool-specific detergent. Avoid using bleach or fabric softeners, as these can damage the wool fibers.
- Drying: Do not tumble dry. Gently reshape the garment while damp and lay it flat to dry away from direct heat or sunlight. Merino wool can be sensitive to heat.
- Ironing: If necessary, iron on a low setting (wool setting) while the garment is still slightly damp. Avoid stretching the fabric while ironing.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Fold or hang loosely to avoid stretching.
