FAQs

Is merino wool suitable for all seasons?

Yes, merino wool's natural temperature-regulating properties make it ideal for year-round wear. It keeps you warm in cold weather and cool in warm weather by wicking moisture away from the body.

How do I know if I've chosen the right size?

The top should fit snugly like a second skin for optimal base layer performance, but without restricting movement. Check the size guide provided by DILLING and consider your child's measurements.

Can this top be worn directly against the skin?

Absolutely. DILLING uses exceptionally fine and soft merino wool, specifically chosen for its non-itchy quality, making it perfect for direct skin contact.

What makes this merino wool 'organic'?

Organic certification means the wool is sourced from sheep raised under strict welfare standards, without the use of harmful pesticides or chemicals in farming and processing.

How often should I wash this top?

Merino wool is naturally odor-resistant and breathable, meaning it can often be worn multiple times between washes. Wash only when necessary to preserve the fibers and reduce environmental impact. Airing out the garment can often refresh it.

What is the benefit of the high neck design?

The high neck provides additional warmth and protection against the cold, making it an excellent choice for cooler temperatures and an effective barrier when layered under jackets or sweaters.

Troubleshooting

Garment feels itchy

Ensure you are using a high-quality, fine merino wool product like DILLING's. Wash according to care instructions with a wool-specific detergent, as this often softens the fibers.

Shrinking after washing

Always adhere to the recommended washing temperature (max 30°C) and avoid high spin cycles or tumble drying. If shrinkage occurs, avoid further heat and try gently reshaping while damp.

Loss of elasticity

Avoid over-stretching the garment. Proper washing and laying flat to dry helps maintain elasticity. Avoid excessive heat which can damage wool fibers.
