FAQs

Why is merino wool good for children?

Merino wool is excellent for children because it is soft, non-itchy, breathable, and naturally regulates body temperature, keeping them comfortable in both warm and cold conditions. It's also naturally odor-resistant and moisture-wicking.

Can this top be worn year-round?

Yes, due to its natural temperature-regulating properties, this merino wool top is suitable for wear in all seasons. It provides warmth in winter and breathability in summer.

How often should I wash this merino wool top?

Merino wool is naturally odor-resistant, so it doesn't need to be washed after every wear. You can often air it out between uses. Wash only when necessary, following the care instructions to maintain the wool's quality.

Is this top suitable for very sensitive skin?

Yes, the DILLING merino wool is exceptionally fine and soft, designed to be non-itchy and gentle on sensitive skin.

What does the rib structure do?

The subtle rib structure knitted into the fabric provides enhanced stretch and flexibility, allowing for greater freedom of movement and a comfortable fit.

Can I put this in the washing machine?

Yes, you can machine wash it, but only on a specific wool program at a low temperature (max 30°C) using a wool-specific detergent. Avoid high spin cycles and harsh detergents.

What is the best way to dry merino wool?

Never tumble dry merino wool. The best method is to lay the garment flat on a towel, reshaping it gently, and allowing it to air dry away from direct heat or sunlight.

Troubleshooting

Top appears to have shrunk after washing.

Ensure you are using a wool program on your washing machine and not exceeding 30°C. Avoid tumble drying. If slight shrinkage occurred, try gently stretching the garment back into shape while damp.

Merino wool feels slightly stiff after washing.

This can sometimes happen if a non-wool detergent is used or if the water is very hard. Use a specialized wool detergent and ensure the washing machine is set to the correct wool cycle. Air drying without direct heat should help soften the fibers.

Pilling is noticeable on the fabric surface.

Some pilling is natural with merino wool, especially in high-friction areas. You can gently remove pills with a fabric shaver designed for wool or cashmere. Proper care, including washing inside out and avoiding harsh friction, can minimize pilling.

The roll neck feels too tight.

Ensure the correct size has been selected. Merino wool has natural elasticity, and the garment may relax slightly with wear. If it's consistently too tight, consider exchanging for a larger size. Gentle stretching while damp might offer minor relief.
