FAQs
What makes merino wool different from regular wool?
Merino wool is made from the fleece of Merino sheep. Its fibers are much finer than traditional wool, making it softer, less itchy, and more breathable. It also has superior temperature-regulating and odour-resistant properties.
Can I wear this tank top in hot weather?
Yes, merino wool is highly breathable and moisture-wicking, which helps to keep you cool and comfortable even in warmer conditions. It's an excellent choice for regulating body temperature year-round.
How often should I wash this tank top?
Thanks to its natural odour-resistant properties, merino wool doesn't need to be washed after every wear. You can often air it out and wear it multiple times before washing. Wash only when necessary to preserve the fibers.
Is this top suitable for sensitive skin?
Merino wool is generally considered hypoallergenic and gentle on sensitive skin due to its fine fibers and natural properties. However, individual sensitivities can vary.
What does 'close-fitting silhouette' mean?
A close-fitting silhouette means the garment is designed to follow the contours of the body, fitting snugly without being restrictive. This makes it ideal for layering as it lies smoothly under other clothing.
Can I put this in the washing machine?
Yes, you can machine wash it on a gentle wool cycle with a wool-specific detergent at a low temperature (max 30°C). However, avoid high heat and harsh chemicals.
How should I dry my merino wool tank top?
Always air dry your merino wool garments. Lay them flat on a drying rack away from direct heat or sunlight to prevent shrinkage and maintain their shape.
Troubleshooting
Garment feels itchy
Ensure you are washing with a wool-specific detergent. High-quality merino wool is generally very soft; itchiness can sometimes occur if the garment is not cared for properly or if there is an individual sensitivity.
Wool fibers appear to be shrinking or felted
This is likely due to excessive heat during washing or drying. Always use cool or lukewarm water and air dry the garment flat. Avoid high heat in washing machines and dryers.
Lace trim snagged or damaged
Handle the garment with care to avoid snags. If minor snags occur, try to gently pull them back into place. For more significant damage, professional repair might be necessary. Always wash in a mesh laundry bag to protect delicate trim.
Garment loses shape after washing
Merino wool is resilient but can stretch if hung when wet. Always dry the garment flat. If it has stretched, try re-shaping it gently while damp and laying it flat to dry. Avoid wringing or twisting.
