Product Information
Full details
This DILLING Baby Merino Wool Terry Sweatshirt is designed for infants and young children (6-18 months) who need a comfortable, naturally regulating mid-layer. Its key benefit is the exceptional softness and temperature-regulating properties of organic merino wool terry, providing warmth without overheating. A potential caveat is that wool terry is a thicker quality, making it best suited as a mid-layer rather than an outer layer in very warm conditions. Key features include raglan sleeves, ribbed cuffs and hem for a snug fit, and a soft, fuzzy interior for maximum comfort against sensitive skin.

FAQs
What makes merino wool terry different from regular merino wool?
Merino wool terry is a thicker knit with a soft, fuzzy inside and a smooth outer surface. This construction provides extra warmth and a plush feel, making it ideal as a mid-layer.
Is this sweatshirt suitable for newborns?
The smallest size available is typically 6-9 months, making it more suitable for babies who have outgrown newborn sizes. Always check the specific size guide for accurate measurements.
Can this sweatshirt be worn as outerwear?
While warm, the wool terry fabric is best utilized as a mid-layer. For outerwear, consider a more windproof and waterproof garment.
How often should I wash my child's merino wool sweatshirt?
Merino wool is naturally odor-resistant and self-cleaning. You don't need to wash it after every use. Airing it out between wears can often suffice. Wash only when visibly dirty or when odor is present.
Is merino wool safe for babies with allergies?
Yes, merino wool is a natural, hypoallergenic fiber that is generally well-tolerated by sensitive skin and is often recommended for babies prone to allergies or eczema.
What is the benefit of raglan sleeves?
Raglan sleeves are cut from the underarm to the collar, allowing for a wider range of motion and a more comfortable fit, which is ideal for active babies and toddlers.
Does the 'Blue' color fade easily?
DILLING uses high-quality dyes. While natural fibers can experience some color variation over time, proper care (washing inside out, avoiding harsh detergents and direct sunlight) will help maintain the color's vibrancy.
Troubleshooting
Sweatshirt feels itchy.
Ensure you are using a wool-specific detergent and have rinsed thoroughly. If the issue persists, check if the garment is inside out or if there's a tag irritating the skin. True merino wool should not feel itchy.
Sweatshirt has shrunk after washing.
The garment may have been washed at too high a temperature or tumble dried. Always follow the 30°C wool program and lay flat to dry. If slightly shrunk, try gently stretching it while damp.
Mildew or odor persists.
Merino wool is naturally odor-resistant. If an odor is present, wash again on a wool cycle with wool detergent. Ensure the garment is completely dry before storing. Airing the garment outdoors can also help refresh it.
Pilling on the surface.
Some pilling is natural with wool, especially with friction. Use a fabric shaver carefully to remove pills. Avoid excessive rubbing during washing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This is a ready-to-wear garment. Ensure the size is appropriate for your child before use.

Care Instructions: To maintain the quality and longevity of your merino wool sweatshirt:
- Washing: Machine wash on a wool program at a maximum of 30°C (86°F). Use a wool-specific detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can damage the wool fibers.
- Drying: Lay flat to dry away from direct sunlight or heat sources. Do not tumble dry, as high heat can shrink the wool.
- Ironing: If necessary, iron on a low heat setting (max 110°C or 230°F), preferably without steam.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Consider using moth repellents if storing for extended periods.
