FAQs

What makes merino wool suitable for children's base layers?

Merino wool is ideal because it's naturally thermoregulating (keeps you warm when cold, cool when warm), breathable, moisture-wicking, and soft against the skin. It also has natural odor-resistant properties.

Is this tank top suitable for sensitive skin?

Yes, it is made from 100% organic merino wool, which is known for its softness and hypoallergenic qualities, making it suitable for sensitive skin.

How do I choose the right size?

Refer to the size guide provided by DILLING, considering the UK size (7-8 for this specific product) and your child's measurements for a comfortable, close fit.

Can this tank top be worn year-round?

Absolutely. Its thermoregulating properties make it suitable for keeping warm in winter and comfortable in milder weather by managing body temperature and moisture.

What is the benefit of the close fit?

The close, comfortable fit ensures that the natural benefits of merino wool are maximized, as it stays close to the skin to effectively wick away moisture and regulate temperature. The flexible knitting also ensures it doesn't restrict movement.

How often should I wash this tank top?

Wash only when necessary. Merino wool is naturally odor-resistant. When washing, use a wool-specific program on your machine at a low temperature.

Does DILLING offer other merino wool base layers?

Yes, DILLING offers a range of merino wool base layers, including long-sleeved tops and leggings, in various colors and sizes for children.

Troubleshooting

Garment feels itchy

Ensure the garment is washed according to care instructions. Organic merino wool is naturally soft, but initial wear or improper washing can sometimes lead to a perception of itchiness. Washing can help soften the fibers.

Shrinkage after washing

Always wash on a cool wool program (max 30°C) and avoid tumble drying. Lay flat to dry away from direct heat. Follow care instructions strictly to maintain size and shape.

Loss of elasticity

Avoid stretching the garment excessively when wet and refrain from using harsh detergents or high washing temperatures, which can degrade the natural fibers.
