FAQs

Is this tank top suitable for sensitive skin?

Yes, 100% organic Merino wool is known for its fineness and softness, making it generally very comfortable for sensitive skin. Always follow care instructions to maintain its softness.

Can I wear this tank top in the summer?

Absolutely. Merino wool is highly breathable and moisture-wicking, making it excellent for regulating body temperature in warmer weather. It helps keep you cool by drawing moisture away from your skin.

How often should I wash this tank top?

Merino wool is naturally odor-resistant and requires less frequent washing than synthetic materials. Washing only when necessary (e.g., after significant sweating or visible soiling) helps preserve the fibers and reduces environmental impact. Airing out the garment can often suffice between wears.

Can I tumble dry this tank top?

No, tumble drying is not recommended. The heat can cause the wool fibers to shrink and felt, damaging the garment. Always air dry.

What does '1/1 quality' mean?

'1/1 quality' refers to the specific knit structure of the fabric. In this case, it signifies a smooth, fine knit that provides a soft texture and excellent drape, typical of high-quality Merino wool garments.

Is this product made in a sustainable way?

Yes, the product is made from 100% organic Merino wool and is certified by the Nordic Ecolabel, indicating adherence to strict environmental and quality standards throughout its production.

What are the benefits of Merino wool over regular wool?

Merino wool fibers are much finer than those of regular wool, making them significantly softer and less itchy. They also offer superior breathability, moisture-wicking, and temperature regulation.

Troubleshooting

Garment loses shape after washing.

Ensure you are using a wool-specific detergent and a gentle, low-temperature wash cycle. Avoid wringing or stretching the garment while wet. Lay flat to dry.

Itchy sensation upon wearing.

While Merino wool is known for its softness, some individuals may have sensitivities. Ensure the garment is properly washed according to care instructions. Sometimes, a few wears help break in the fibers.

Pilling occurs on the surface.

Pilling is natural for wool fibers, especially with friction. This can be gently managed with a fabric shaver. Reduce friction by avoiding rough surfaces and following care instructions.

Slight shrinkage after drying.

This can occur if exposed to high heat during washing or drying. Always adhere to the 30°C maximum wash temperature and air dry only. If shrinkage is noticeable, try to gently stretch the garment back into shape while damp.
