FAQs

What is the primary benefit of the merino wool and silk blend?

The blend offers superior thermoregulation and breathability, keeping children comfortable in a wide range of temperatures by adapting to their body heat and wicking away moisture.

How should I wash this top to preserve its quality?

Machine wash on a gentle wool program at 30°C (86°F) using a wool-specific detergent. Avoid bleach, fabric softeners, and tumble drying. Lay flat to dry, reshaping while damp.

Will the top stretch out permanently?

The garment may stretch slightly during wear due to the natural elasticity of wool fibers. However, it will contract back to its original shape after washing according to the care instructions.

Is this top suitable for sensitive skin?

Yes, the blend of fine organic merino wool and silk is known for its softness and hypoallergenic properties, making it gentle and comfortable for sensitive skin.

Can this top be worn year-round?

Absolutely. The thermoregulating and breathable nature of the material makes it ideal for wear in all seasons, providing warmth in winter and comfort in summer.

What does 'pointelle pattern' mean?

Pointelle refers to a delicate, openwork knitting technique that creates subtle patterns, adding a decorative and airy texture to the fabric.

How does merino wool help with odor?

Merino wool has natural antimicrobial properties that help neutralize odor-causing bacteria, allowing the garment to stay fresher for longer between washes.

Troubleshooting

Garment feels stretched out after wearing

This is a natural characteristic of wool fibers. Lay the garment flat and reshape it while damp after washing. The fibers will contract and return to their original size.

Skin irritation or itching

While merino wool is known for its softness, ensure the garment is washed according to care instructions. If irritation persists, consult the product's material composition and consider if there are any sensitivities.

Pilling on the fabric surface

Some pilling may occur with natural fibers, especially with friction. This can be managed by gentle washing and avoiding harsh rubbing. Consider using a fabric shaver carefully if needed.

Color fading

Always wash with a wool-specific detergent and avoid harsh chemicals or excessive sunlight during drying. Washing inside out can also help preserve color.

Care Instructions:

  • Washing: Machine wash on a wool program at 30°C (86°F) or use a hand wash cycle.
  • Detergent: Use a wool-specific detergent. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners, as these can damage the wool fibers.
  • Drying: Do not tumble dry. Lay the garment flat to air dry, reshaping it while damp to maintain its original form. Avoid direct sunlight or heat.
  • Ironing: Iron on a low setting if necessary, preferably while the garment is slightly damp.
  • General Care: Due to the natural elasticity of wool, the garment may stretch slightly during wear. It will naturally contract back to its original shape after washing.
