Full details
This DILLING tank top in grey, size UK 14, is designed for adult women seeking comfortable and warm base layers.

FAQs
Is this tank top suitable for sensitive skin?
Yes, merino wool is known for its fine fibers and natural softness, making it a good choice for sensitive skin. It is designed to feel soft and comfortable against the skin.
How often should I wash this tank top?
Thanks to its natural odour-resistant properties, you can wear the tank top multiple times between washes. Airing it out after each wear can help refresh it. Wash only when necessary, following the care instructions.
Can I wear this tank top in summer?
While primarily designed for warmth, merino wool is also breathable and moisture-wicking, which can help regulate temperature. It might be suitable for cooler summer evenings or in air-conditioned environments, but may be too warm for hot summer days.
What makes merino wool odour resistant?
Merino wool fibres have a natural protective layer and a unique structure that helps to absorb and break down odour-causing bacteria, preventing them from developing and lingering on the fabric.
What is the difference between this and a regular cotton tank top?
Merino wool offers superior warmth, breathability, and odour resistance compared to cotton. While cotton can feel cool and clammy when wet, merino wool wicks moisture away and insulates even when damp. Cotton is also more prone to shrinking and odour retention.
Can I wear this as outerwear?
This tank top is designed as a base layer to be worn close to the skin for maximum benefit from its thermal and moisture-wicking properties. It can be layered under other garments for warmth and comfort.
Troubleshooting
Garment feels itchy
Ensure you are using a wool-specific detergent and have rinsed thoroughly. High-quality merino wool is known for its softness, so itchiness might indicate an issue with the detergent or washing process.
Shrinking after washing
Verify that the wash temperature did not exceed 30-40°C and that the garment was not exposed to high heat during drying. Always air dry flat. Avoid machine drying at all costs.
Pilling of the fabric
Some pilling is normal with natural fibers like wool, especially with initial wears. Gentle washing and avoiding excessive friction can minimize this. You can carefully remove pills with a fabric shaver.
Odour persists after washing
Ensure you are using an appropriate wool detergent and that the garment is rinsed thoroughly. Sometimes, allowing the garment to air dry completely in fresh air can help dissipate lingering odours.

Care Instructions:
To maintain the quality and longevity of your merino wool tank top:
- Washing: Machine wash on a wool program (or delicate cycle) at a maximum of 30-40°C (86-104°F). Use a wool-specific detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can damage wool fibers.
- Drying: Do not tumble dry. Lay the garment flat to air dry, away from direct heat or sunlight. Reshape while damp if necessary.
- Ironing: If needed, iron on a low setting. Always iron from the inside out.
- Avoid: Do not bleach or dry clean, as these processes can harm the merino wool.
