FAQs

Is this top suitable for sensitive skin?

Yes, the merino wool used has undergone a special 10-hour eco-friendly treatment to remove itchy fibers, making it exceptionally soft and suitable for sensitive skin.

How does merino wool regulate temperature?

Merino wool fibers have a natural crimp that traps air, providing insulation in cold weather. They also wick moisture away from the skin, helping to keep you cool and dry in warmer conditions.

Can I wear this top in very warm weather?

While merino wool is breathable, it is primarily designed for thermal regulation. For extremely hot and humid conditions, lighter synthetic fabrics might offer better immediate cooling, but this top is still comfortable due to its breathability.

What does 'eco-friendly treatment' mean for the wool?

The eco-friendly treatment refers to a process that enhances the softness of the merino wool by removing potentially irritating fibers, all done in an environmentally conscious manner.

Will this top shrink if I wash it?

If washed and dried according to the care instructions (gentle cycle, low temperature, no tumble dry), shrinkage should be minimal. Avoid high heat in washing or drying.

How often should I wash my merino wool top?

Merino wool is naturally odor-resistant, so you can wear it multiple times between washes, especially for layering or light activity. Wash when it shows signs of odor or visible soiling.

What is the difference between this and other DILLING merino tops?

This specific model focuses on a comfortable fit with ample room for movement, utilizing the same high-quality, specially treated merino wool. Variations in other models might include different fits, thicknesses, or design elements.

Troubleshooting

Top feels less soft after washing

Ensure you are using a wool-specific detergent and have avoided fabric softeners. Re-wash on a gentle cycle with wool detergent. Avoid high heat drying.

Top seems to have stretched out

Lay flat to dry and gently reshape it to its original dimensions while damp. Avoid hanging the garment to dry.

Slight odor persists after wearing

While merino wool is naturally odor-resistant, prolonged wear or specific body chemistry might lead to faint odors. Ensure proper washing with appropriate detergent. Airing out the garment thoroughly can also help.
