FAQs

What is the main benefit of the merino wool and silk blend?

The blend offers superior thermoregulation, breathability, and a soft, lightweight feel, keeping children comfortable in various temperatures and activities.

How does the pointelle pattern affect the garment?

The pointelle pattern adds a decorative, delicate look. It does not significantly impact the garment's thermal properties but contributes to its lightweight and airy feel.

Can this top be worn all year round?

Yes, the thermoregulating properties of merino wool make it suitable for year-round wear. It provides warmth in winter and helps keep cool in warmer weather by managing moisture.

How should I wash this top to preserve its quality?

Machine wash on a gentle wool program at 30°C with a wool-specific detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and do not tumble dry. Lay flat to dry.

Will the top lose its shape after washing?

The wool fibers are designed to contract after washing, helping the garment retain its shape. Gently reshaping while damp can aid this process.

Is this top suitable for very sensitive skin?

Yes, the organic merino wool and silk fibers are exceptionally fine and soft, making the garment gentle and often suitable for children with sensitive skin.

What does 'close, but comfortable fit' mean?

It means the top is designed to fit snugly against the body without being tight or restrictive, allowing for a full range of movement.

Troubleshooting

Garment feels stiff after washing.

Ensure you are using a mild, wool-specific detergent and have avoided fabric softeners. Reshape the garment while damp and lay flat to dry.

Top seems to have stretched out of shape.

Gently reshape the garment while it is damp after washing. The wool fibers should naturally contract back to their original form upon drying.

Child experiences skin irritation.

Although the blend is generally gentle, ensure the care instructions are followed precisely. Consider if the child has any specific sensitivities to wool or silk.

Care Instructions:

  • Washing: Machine wash on a wool program at a maximum of 30°C (86°F). Use a mild detergent specifically for wool or silk. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can harm the natural fibers.
