Product Information
Full details
This DILLING Merino Wool Sweatshirt in Red, size 7-8, is designed for children seeking a comfortable and warm mid-layer. Its key benefit is the use of dense, organic merino wool for excellent insulation and breathability. A potential consideration is its heavier weight compared to other wool garments, making it best suited as a distinct mid-layer. Key features include a classic round neckline, relaxed fit, ribbed cuffs and hem for practicality, and its construction from 100% organic merino wool.

FAQs
Is this sweatshirt suitable for very cold weather?
Yes, its dense merino wool makes it an excellent mid-layer for cold weather, providing significant warmth. For extreme cold, consider adding a thermal base layer underneath and a windproof outer layer.
Can I wash this in a regular washing machine?
Yes, but only on a specific wool or delicate cycle with cold water (max 30°C) and a wool-specific detergent. Avoid high spin speeds and never tumble dry.
How does merino wool differ from regular wool?
Merino wool fibers are much finer and softer than traditional wool, making them less likely to cause itching. They also have superior moisture-wicking and temperature-regulating properties.
What does 'mid-layer' mean in clothing terms?
A mid-layer is worn between a base layer (next to the skin) and an outer layer (like a jacket). Its primary function is to provide insulation and retain body heat.
Is the red color fade-resistant?
While efforts are made to ensure colorfastness, prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause fading over time. Following care instructions will help maintain the color.
What sizes are available for this red sweatshirt?
This specific red sweatshirt variant is available in multiple kids' sizes. The product title indicates this is for size 7-8 years, but other sizes like 3-4, 5-6, 9-10, and a general 'kids' size are also produced by DILLING for this model.
Can my child wear this directly against their skin?
Yes, merino wool is known for its softness and is generally comfortable against the skin. However, if your child has very sensitive skin, a thin base layer can be worn underneath for extra comfort.
Troubleshooting
Sweatshirt feels itchy
Ensure you are using a wool-specific detergent and have rinsed thoroughly. If itchiness persists, try wearing a thin base layer underneath.
Shrinkage after washing
Ensure the washing machine was set to a maximum of 30°C and used a wool or delicate cycle with low spin. Always lay flat to dry and avoid heat. If minor shrinkage has occurred, gently stretch the garment while damp.
Pilling on the surface
Some pilling is natural with wool fibers over time. You can gently remove pills with a fabric shaver or by carefully picking them off. This does not affect the garment's warmth or function.
Sweatshirt lost its shape
Reshape the garment while it is damp and lay it flat to dry. Avoid wringing or stretching excessively during washing.
