FAQs

Is this top suitable for very cold weather?

Yes, the merino wool and silk blend provides excellent thermoregulation, making it effective for keeping warm in cold conditions as a base layer.

How often should I wash this top?

Merino wool is naturally odor-resistant. You can wash it when necessary, but airing it out between wears can extend the time between washes. Follow the specific care instructions for optimal longevity.

Can this top be worn all year round?

Absolutely. The breathable nature of the merino wool and silk blend makes it suitable for both warm and cool seasons. It helps regulate body temperature regardless of the weather.

What does 'pointelle' pattern mean?

Pointelle is a knitting technique that creates a delicate, openwork pattern. On this top, it adds a subtle decorative element and enhances breathability.

Will the material be itchy?

This top is made from a very fine blend of organic merino wool and silk, which is known for its softness and is typically not itchy, even on sensitive skin.

How do I care for the merino wool and silk blend?

Machine wash on a gentle wool cycle at 30°C with a wool-specific detergent. Do not tumble dry; lay flat to dry. Avoid bleach and fabric softener.

What if the top stretches out while my child wears it?

The wool fibers have a natural tendency to contract after washing. Any temporary stretching during wear can be easily resolved by washing the garment according to the care instructions and drying it flat.

Troubleshooting

Garment feels stretched out after wearing.

This is normal for wool blends. The fibers will contract back to their original shape after washing according to the care instructions. Lay flat to dry.

Skin irritation.

Although made from fine merino wool and silk, some individuals may have sensitivities. Ensure the garment is washed before first wear. If irritation persists, discontinue use.

Fading color.

Wash inside out with a wool-specific detergent. Avoid direct sunlight during drying.

Shrinkage after washing.

Ensure you are using a wool program at 30°C and a wool-specific detergent. Avoid high heat during washing or drying.
