FAQs
What is merino wool and why is it used in this top?
Merino wool is a type of wool from Merino sheep. It's prized for its fine fibers, making it soft, breathable, and naturally odor-resistant. This top uses it for comfort, warmth, and reduced need for frequent washing.
How often should I wash this camisole?
Due to merino wool's natural odor-inhibiting properties, you can wear it multiple times between washes. Wash only when necessary, following the care instructions to maintain its quality and lifespan.
Can I wear this top in hot weather?
Yes, merino wool is breathable and moisture-wicking, which helps regulate body temperature. While it provides warmth, it can also help keep you cool by drawing moisture away from the skin.
Is this top suitable for sensitive skin?
Fine merino wool is generally very soft and less likely to cause irritation than coarser wools. Many people with sensitive skin find merino wool comfortable.
What does 'body-hugging fit' mean?
This means the garment is designed to fit closely to your body's natural shape. It provides a smooth silhouette and ensures the fabric stays close to your skin for optimal thermal regulation and comfort.
How do I care for the lace trim?
The lace trim is elasticated and delicate. Follow the general merino wool care instructions, using a gentle wool wash and avoiding harsh treatments like high heat drying or tumble drying, which can damage the lace.
Can I wear this as an outer layer?
While designed as a base layer, its refined lace trim can make it suitable to be seen under lower necklines. However, for most casual or active scenarios, it functions best as a layering piece.
Troubleshooting
Merino wool feels itchy.
Ensure you are using a pure merino wool garment. Fine merino wool is typically non-itchy. If irritation persists, try wearing a very thin cotton layer underneath.
Garment loses its shape after washing.
Ensure you are following the specific care instructions for merino wool, especially avoiding high temperatures and tumble drying. Lay flat to dry and avoid hanging when wet.
Pilling occurs on the fabric.
Some pilling is natural with wool fibers, especially during the initial wears. Gently remove pills with a fabric comb or by hand. Proper washing and minimal agitation can reduce pilling.
Odor persists after washing.
Ensure you are using a wool-specific detergent and the correct wash cycle. Double-check that the garment is thoroughly rinsed. If odor is stubborn, try soaking in cool water with a bit of vinegar before re-washing.
