FAQs
Is this sweatshirt suitable for very cold weather?
Yes, the merino wool terry is a thicker quality designed for warmth. It works best as a mid-layer, providing excellent insulation when combined with a base layer and an outer shell.
Can my child wear this directly against their skin?
Absolutely. The organic merino wool is very soft and breathable, making it ideal for direct contact with sensitive skin without causing irritation.
How often should I wash this sweatshirt?
Merino wool is naturally odor-resistant and breathable, so it doesn't need to be washed after every wear. Airing it out between wears can often suffice. Wash only when necessary, following the care instructions.
Will the wool itch my child?
Our merino wool is specifically selected for its fineness and softness, which minimizes the risk of itching. The wool terry quality is particularly soft and fuzzy.
What does 'wool terry' mean?
Wool terry refers to a knit fabric construction that has loops on one side (like traditional terry cloth) and a smooth surface on the other. In this case, the looped side is soft and fuzzy, providing extra comfort and warmth.
Is this sweatshirt machine washable?
Yes, but it must be washed on a specific wool program at a low temperature (max 30°C) using a wool-safe detergent. Avoid high spin cycles.
Can I use a regular detergent?
It is highly recommended to use a detergent specifically formulated for wool or delicates. Regular detergents can be too harsh and may damage the wool fibers over time.
Troubleshooting
Sweatshirt feels stiff after washing.
This can happen with wool. Try re-washing on a gentle wool cycle with a wool-specific detergent and ensure it is not over-dried. Air drying flat usually resolves this.
Small holes or thinning in the fabric.
This may indicate snagging or excessive friction. Check care labels and avoid washing with items that have zippers or rough textures. Hand wash gently if this persists.
Sweatshirt lost its shape.
Reshape the garment gently while it is damp after washing and lay it flat to dry. Avoid wringing or stretching the fabric excessively.

Care Instructions:
