FAQs
Is merino wool itchy for babies?
No, DILLING's merino wool is known for its exceptional softness and fine fibers, making it non-itchy and comfortable even for sensitive baby skin.
How do I clean the merino wool one-piece?
Machine wash on a wool cycle at 30°C using a wool-specific detergent. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners. Lay flat to dry.
Can the fold-over feet and mittens be removed?
They are designed to be folded back and tucked away, rather than fully removed. This allows for flexibility as your child grows and moves more.
What is the expected lifespan of this garment?
Merino wool is durable, but natural fibers can show wear over time. With proper care, this one-piece can last for a season or more, depending on wear. The natural fraying is cosmetic and doesn't reduce functionality.
Is this suitable for very cold weather?
Yes, merino wool provides excellent insulation. For very cold weather, it can be worn as a warm layer under a heavier outer garment like a snowsuit.
Does the color fade easily?
Merino wool dyes are generally colorfast, but it's best to wash in cold water and dry out of direct sunlight to preserve the color's vibrancy over time.
What does 'unblended, natural material' mean for the garment?
It means the garment is made purely from merino wool without synthetic fibers mixed in. This ensures all the natural benefits of wool are present but also means it may behave slightly differently (like fraying) compared to blended fabrics.
Troubleshooting
Baby seems too warm or too cold.
Merino wool is naturally temperature-regulating. Ensure your baby is dressed appropriately for the conditions. This one-piece is designed for warmth but can be layered. If too warm, remove a layer or the one-piece. If too cold, add a base layer underneath.
Zipper is difficult to close.
Ensure the fabric is not caught in the zipper. Gently pull the fabric away from the zipper track and try again. If the zipper is stiff, a small amount of graphite from a pencil rubbed on the teeth can help.
Garment appears to be fraying or pilling.
This is a natural characteristic of 100% merino wool, especially when new or after washing. It does not impact the warmth or comfort. You can gently brush off loose fibers. Avoid excessive rubbing.
Garment lost its shape after washing.
Ensure you are using a wool wash cycle at 30°C and a wool-specific detergent. Avoid harsh spin cycles and do not tumble dry. Lay flat to dry, reshaping gently while damp.
