FAQs
Is this top suitable for very sensitive skin?
Yes, 100% organic merino wool is known for its softness and hypoallergenic properties, making it suitable for sensitive skin. Ensure proper washing with gentle, wool-specific detergents.
Can this top be worn directly against the skin?
Absolutely. Its softness and moisture-wicking properties make it an excellent base layer designed for comfortable wear directly against the skin.
How does merino wool keep me warm?
Merino wool fibers are naturally crimped, creating tiny air pockets that trap body heat, providing excellent insulation. The fibers also wick moisture away from the skin, preventing heat loss from evaporation.
What does 'raglan sleeves' mean for comfort?
Raglan sleeves are cut without a defined shoulder seam, extending in one piece from the underarm to the collar. This design offers greater freedom of movement and reduces chafing, particularly important for active children.
How often should I wash this top?
Merino wool is naturally odor-resistant. You can often air out the garment between wears instead of washing every time. Wash when visibly soiled or after significant sweating, following the specific care instructions.
Is this top suitable for summer wear?
While merino wool is breathable, this particular top is designed for cold weather due to its warm knit. It may be too warm for summer activities, but can be useful for cooler summer evenings at high altitudes or near the coast.
Where can I find matching items for the family?
This Nordic pattern product is part of a larger collection. You can typically find matching items for other family members on the DILLING website or at authorized retailers, often under a 'Family Collection' or 'Nordic Pattern' category.
Troubleshooting
Garment feels itchy
Ensure the garment is washed according to care instructions with a wool-specific detergent. While merino is generally soft, initial washes can sometimes improve texture. Ensure it's not too tight.
Shrinking after washing
Verify that the washing machine was set to a cold or 30°C wool cycle and that the garment was not tumble dried. Always lay flat to dry.
Pilling of the fabric
Some minor pilling can occur with natural wool fibers, especially with friction. This can be managed with a fabric comb or shaver. Proper washing and avoiding excessive friction can minimize this.
Loss of elasticity
Avoid stretching the garment excessively when wet and always dry flat. Ensure no harsh detergents or high heat were used during washing or drying.
