FAQs
Is this top suitable for all seasons?
Yes, the merino wool and silk blend offers natural temperature regulation, making it suitable for keeping you warm in cooler weather and comfortable in milder conditions. It's an excellent all-year-round base layer.
How does the merino wool/silk blend differ from pure merino wool?
The addition of silk enhances the softness and smoothness of the fabric against the skin, while still retaining the beneficial properties of merino wool such as breathability, temperature regulation, and odor resistance.
How often should I wash this top?
Thanks to the natural odor-resistant properties of merino wool, you can often wear it multiple times between washes. Wash when it shows visible signs of soiling or loss of freshness. Follow the care instructions for best results.
Can I wear this top for strenuous exercise?
This top is excellent for light to moderate activities due to its moisture-wicking and breathability. For very high-intensity or prolonged strenuous exercise, a dedicated sports base layer might be preferred, but it performs well for general fitness and outdoor activities.
What does 'organic' merino wool mean?
Organic merino wool is sourced from sheep raised on farms that adhere to strict organic farming standards, prohibiting the use of harmful pesticides and chemicals, ensuring a more environmentally friendly production process.
Does the lace trim require special washing?
The lace trim is designed to be durable but delicate. Always use a wool-specific detergent and a gentle wash cycle (hand wash or wool program at 30°C). Avoid tumble drying and lay flat to dry.
Troubleshooting
Top feels itchy
While merino wool is fine, some individuals with extreme sensitivities may experience mild irritation. Ensure the garment is washed before first wear with a wool-specific detergent. Check that the correct size is being worn for a comfortable fit.
Material pilling slightly
Some minor pilling can occur with natural fibers over time. This is normal and can be gently removed with a fabric comb or shaver. Ensure washing is done on a gentle wool cycle and avoid harsh rubbing.
Loss of shape after washing
Ensure the garment is laid flat to dry and is not stretched out while wet. Follow the recommended washing temperature (max 30°C) and avoid machine drying.
