Full details
This DILLING women's merino wool strap top is designed for adult females seeking natural warmth and comfort, particularly as a base layer. Its key benefit is the exceptional softness and breathability of merino wool, which also naturally resists odor, allowing for extended wear between washes. A potential consideration is its delicate lace trim, which requires careful handling during washing to maintain its appearance.

FAQs
What is merino wool and why is it good for base layers?
Merino wool is a fine, soft wool from Merino sheep. It's excellent for base layers because it's naturally warm, breathable, moisture-wicking, and odour-resistant, providing comfort in various temperatures.
Can I wear this top year-round?
Yes, the breathable nature of merino wool makes it suitable for year-round wear. It provides warmth in cooler months and helps regulate temperature in warmer conditions.
How often should I wash this top?
Thanks to its natural odour resistance, you can wear it multiple times between washes. Wash when it appears soiled or loses its freshness, typically after 2-3 wears depending on activity.
Will this top feel hot in the summer?
No, merino wool is highly breathable and can wick moisture away from the skin, helping to keep you cool and comfortable even in warmer weather. It won't trap heat like synthetic materials.
Is this top suitable for sensitive skin?
Yes, the fine fibers of merino wool are significantly softer than traditional wool and are generally non-irritating, making it suitable for sensitive skin.
How do I care for the lace trim?
The lace trim is delicate. It's best to wash the top by hand or on a very gentle wool cycle, preferably inside a mesh laundry bag, and always lay flat to dry.
Troubleshooting
Garment feels itchy
Ensure you are using a wool-specific detergent and washing on a gentle cycle. Merino wool is typically very soft, but improper washing can affect texture. Consider a wool rinse to restore softness.
Top loses shape after washing
Avoid wringing or twisting the garment. Always lay flat to dry, never tumble dry. Excessive heat can cause shrinkage and loss of shape.
Delicate lace trim is damaged
Handle the lace trim with care. Wash inside a mesh laundry bag to protect it from snagging. Avoid harsh scrubbing on the trim area.
