Product Information
Full details
This DILLING Merino Wool Terry Sweatshirt in Blue (size 6-9 months) is designed for infants needing a comfortable and warm mid-layer. Its key benefit is the naturally temperature-regulating and breathable organic merino wool, ensuring your child stays cozy without overheating. A potential consideration is that the wool terry fabric is slightly thicker than standard wool, making it ideal as a mid-layer but perhaps less suited for very warm conditions as a standalone piece.

FAQs
What makes merino wool terry different from regular merino wool?
Merino wool terry has a unique looped construction on the inside, similar to a towel, which makes it thicker, plusher, and extra soft against the skin, while the exterior remains smooth. This also adds insulation.
Is this sweatshirt suitable for all seasons?
Due to its insulating properties and slightly thicker nature, it's best suited as a mid-layer for cooler seasons (autumn, winter, spring). It can be used in summer evenings or air-conditioned environments, but may be too warm for hot summer days as an outer layer.
Can I use regular detergent?
No, it is essential to use a detergent specifically formulated for wool or delicates. Regular detergents can strip the natural oils from merino wool, damaging the fibers and reducing its softness and performance.
How often should I wash this sweatshirt?
Merino wool is naturally odor-resistant and breathable, so it doesn't require frequent washing. Airing it out between wears can often suffice. Wash only when visibly soiled or when odor becomes noticeable, following the care instructions.
What is the benefit of raglan sleeves for a baby?
Raglan sleeves have a diagonal seam from the underarm to the neck. This construction allows for a wider range of motion, making it more comfortable for babies to move their arms and play without restriction.
Is this sweatshirt suitable for babies with eczema?
Yes, organic merino wool is known for its softness and hypoallergenic properties, making it an excellent choice for babies with sensitive skin or conditions like eczema. Always test new fabrics if your baby has severe sensitivities.

Troubleshooting
Sweatshirt feels itchy
Ensure it is 100% merino wool and has been washed according to instructions. New wool can sometimes have a slight stiffness that softens with washing. Use a wool-specific detergent.
Shrinking after washing
Check that the washing machine was on a wool or delicate cycle at 30°C or less. Avoid high heat and vigorous spin cycles. Lay flat to dry and do not tumble dry.
Pilling or matting
Some minor pilling is normal with natural wool fibers and can be gently removed with a fabric comb. Avoid excessive friction during washing and drying.
Faint odor persists after washing
Ensure you are using a wool-specific detergent and that the garment is thoroughly rinsed. Merino wool is naturally odor-resistant, so persistent odors may indicate insufficient cleaning or detergent residue.

Care Instructions:
To ensure the longevity and softness of your merino wool sweatshirt, follow these care guidelines:
- Washing: Machine wash on a wool cycle (or delicate cycle) at a maximum of 30°C (86°F). Use a detergent specifically designed for wool or delicates.
- Detergent: Avoid fabric softeners, bleach, and harsh chemicals, as these can damage the wool fibers.

- Ironing: If necessary, iron on a low setting (wool setting) while the garment is still slightly damp.
- Storage: Store folded in a cool, dry place. Consider using moth repellents if storing for extended periods.
