Full details

This DILLING high neck top is designed for children who need comfortable, all-season base layers. Its key benefit is the natural thermoregulation and breathability of 100% organic merino wool, keeping kids warm and dry. A minor caveat is that merino wool requires specific care to maintain its properties. This top features a high neck, ruffle detailing on the shoulders, and a flexible rib knit for unrestricted movement, making it ideal for active play and everyday wear.

FAQs

Is merino wool itchy for children?

No, 100% organic merino wool, especially from reputable brands like DILLING, is known for its fine fibers that are soft and non-itchy, making it ideal for sensitive children's skin.

Can this top be worn all year round?

Yes, merino wool is naturally thermoregulating. It keeps you warm in cold weather by trapping air and insulating, and it helps keep you cool in warm weather by wicking moisture away from the skin.

How do I wash my child's merino wool top?

Machine wash on a wool program at a maximum of 30°C using a wool-specific detergent. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners. Do not tumble dry.

What should I do if the garment loses its shape?

Merino wool garments can sometimes stretch out if not cared for properly. Reshape the garment while damp and lay it flat to dry. Ensure you are following the recommended washing and drying instructions.

Can this top be worn directly against the skin?

Yes, it is designed as a base layer and is very comfortable to wear directly against the skin due to its softness and breathability.

What does 'thermoregulating' mean for this top?

Thermoregulating means the fabric helps maintain a stable body temperature. It provides warmth when it's cold and helps dissipate heat when it's warm, keeping the child comfortable in various conditions.

Are there other colors or sizes available?

This specific product is the pink version in size 5-6. Other sizes and colors might be available under different product listings or from the same brand.

Troubleshooting

Garment feels stiff or loses softness.

Ensure you are using a wool-specific detergent and have avoided high heat during washing and drying. Re-washing with a wool detergent might help restore softness.

Shrinking after washing.

The garment was likely exposed to high temperatures. Always wash on a cold wool cycle (max 30°C) and air dry. Future washes should adhere strictly to care instructions.

Pilling or fuzziness.

Some pilling is natural with merino wool over time. Gentle washing and avoiding abrasion can minimize this. A fabric shaver can be used carefully on mild pilling.
