FAQs
Is this top suitable for very sensitive skin?
Yes, 100% organic merino wool is known for its softness and breathability, making it an excellent choice for children with sensitive skin as it is naturally non-irritating.
How often should I wash this merino wool top?
Merino wool is naturally odor-resistant and self-cleaning to some extent. Washing after each wear is not always necessary. Airing out the garment between wears can help extend its freshness. Wash only when visibly soiled or if odor is present, following the care instructions.
Can I use a regular washing machine?
Yes, you can use a regular washing machine, but only on the 'wool' or 'delicate' cycle with cold or 30°C water and a wool-specific detergent. Avoid high spin speeds.
Why is merino wool good for year-round wear?
Merino wool's unique fiber structure allows it to insulate and keep you warm in cold weather, while also being highly breathable to wick away moisture and keep you cool in warmer conditions.
How does the fine rib structure benefit my child?
The fine rib structure provides excellent stretch and flexibility, allowing the top to move with your child's body during play and activities without restriction. It also helps the garment maintain its shape.
What does 'organic' mean in relation to the wool?
Organic certification means the wool comes from sheep raised on farms that adhere to strict environmental and animal welfare standards, avoiding harmful pesticides and chemicals in their farming practices.
What is the expected lifespan of this top?
With proper care, merino wool garments are very durable and can last for a long time. Following the specific care instructions will help maintain the integrity and appearance of the fabric.
Troubleshooting
Top appears to have shrunk after washing.
Merino wool can be sensitive to heat. Ensure you are using a cold or 30°C wash cycle and air drying. If shrinkage has occurred, a gentle steam iron on a low setting might help relax the fibers slightly, but avoid direct high heat.
Fabric feels itchy after washing.
Ensure you are using a wool-specific detergent and have thoroughly rinsed out all detergent. Fabric softeners should not be used with merino wool as they can damage the fibers. Check that no other harsh chemicals were used in the wash.
Pilling on the surface of the fabric.
Pilling is a natural characteristic of wool fibers rubbing together. To minimize it, wash the garment inside out on a gentle cycle with a wool detergent and avoid excessive friction. You can use a fabric shaver to carefully remove existing pills.
Garment loses its shape.
Merino wool should be laid flat to dry. Avoid wringing or hanging the garment while wet, as this can stretch it out. Reshape the garment gently while damp and allow it to dry flat.
