FAQs

Is this hat suitable for newborns?

The hat is designed for children and comes in various sizes. Please check the size guide to determine the best fit for your child, ensuring it's not too large or too small for a newborn.

How often should I wash the hat?

Merino wool is naturally odor-resistant and self-cleaning. Washing is typically only needed when visibly dirty or after prolonged use. Airing out the hat can often suffice between washes.

Can I use regular detergent?

It is highly recommended to use a detergent specifically designed for wool or delicate fabrics. Regular detergents can be too harsh and may damage the wool fibers.

Will the hat shrink if I wash it?

When washed and dried according to the instructions (cold water, gentle cycle, lay flat to dry), the hat should not shrink. Avoid high heat or aggressive washing.

What does 'organic' mean in relation to the wool?

Organic refers to the wool being sourced from sheep raised under conditions that adhere to organic farming standards, meaning no harmful pesticides or chemicals are used in the sheep's environment or on the land where they graze.

Is merino wool itchy?

Unlike traditional wool, merino wool fibers are much finer and smoother, making them significantly less itchy and softer against the skin. This hat is designed for maximum comfort.

How do I store the hat during the summer?

Store the hat in a clean, dry place, preferably in a breathable bag or container. Ensure it is completely dry before storing to prevent mildew.

Troubleshooting

Hat seems too loose or too tight.

Adjust the fold-up cuff to achieve a snugger or looser fit. If the size is significantly incorrect, consider purchasing the appropriate size.

Wool feels a bit scratchy.

Merino wool is generally soft, but initial wear or washing may cause a slight difference. Ensure you are using a wool-specific detergent. Hand washing and gentle use can soften the fibers over time.

Signs of pilling on the surface.

Pilling is a natural occurrence with wool fibers. Gently remove pills with a fabric comb or specialized shaver. This does not affect the wool's insulating properties.

Hat lost its shape after washing.

Ensure the hat was laid flat to dry and reshaped while damp. Avoid wringing or tumble drying. If significant shape loss occurred, gently reshape it while damp and allow it to air dry.
