FAQs
Is Merino wool suitable for sensitive skin?
Yes, DILLING's Merino wool is known for its fineness and softness, making it highly suitable and comfortable for children with sensitive skin. It is naturally hypoallergenic and breathable.
How does Merino wool regulate temperature?
Merino wool fibers have a natural crimp that traps air, providing insulation in cold weather. In warmer conditions, the fibers wick moisture away from the skin, allowing for evaporation and a cooling effect.
Can I machine wash this skirt?
Yes, you can machine wash it on a wool program (delicate cycle) at a maximum of 30°C (86°F) using a wool-specific detergent.
How should I dry the skirt?
Do not tumble dry. Lay the skirt flat on a towel away from direct heat or sunlight to air dry. Gently reshape it while damp.
What does the double stitching on the waistband do?
The double stitching above and below the elastic band is designed to keep the band securely in place and prevent it from twisting inside the seam over time, ensuring a consistent fit and durability.
What other sizes and colors are available?
This specific product is available in Green in size 5-6 years. Other sizes and colors may be available separately.
Is this skirt suitable for all seasons?
Yes, due to the temperature-regulating properties of Merino wool, this skirt is suitable for year-round wear. It can be layered in colder months and worn on its own in warmer weather.
Troubleshooting
Skirt appears stretched after washing
Ensure you are using the correct wool wash cycle (30°C/86°F max) and a wool-specific detergent. Lay flat to dry and gently reshape while damp. Avoid wringing the garment.
Elastic waist feels too tight or twisted
The double stitching is designed to prevent twisting. If the elastic feels unusually tight, ensure the garment was not exposed to excessive heat during washing or drying, which can shrink wool fibers. Check care label instructions carefully.
Wool feels itchy
DILLING uses fine Merino wool, which is generally very soft. If irritation occurs, ensure the garment is washed according to instructions, as residual processing agents can sometimes cause initial mild irritation. It should soften further with wear and washing.
