Product Information
Full details
This DILLING long sleeve top is designed for children aged 7-8, offering exceptional comfort and temperature regulation thanks to its blend of organic merino wool and silk. Its key benefit is keeping kids warm and dry year-round with a soft, breathable, and flexible fit. A potential consideration is that merino wool can stretch when worn but will naturally contract after washing.

FAQs
Is this top suitable for very cold weather?
Yes, the blend of merino wool and silk provides excellent insulation and thermoregulation, making it ideal as a base layer for cold weather.
How do I know if I'm washing it correctly?
Use a dedicated wool program on your washing machine at a maximum of 40°C, with a mild wool detergent. Avoid bleach and fabric softener. Rinse well.
Will it keep my child dry if they sweat?
Absolutely. Merino wool is highly breathable and moisture-wicking, drawing sweat away from the skin to keep your child comfortable and dry.
Can this top be worn year-round?
Yes, its thermoregulating properties make it suitable for all seasons. It keeps children warm in winter and comfortable in milder weather.
What does 'pointelle' mean?
Pointelle is a knitting technique that creates delicate, often openwork patterns in the fabric, adding a subtle decorative element.
Does the 'close, but comfortable fit' mean it's tight?
It means the garment fits snugly to the body to maximize warmth and reduce bulk, but the knitting technique ensures it stretches and moves with your child, avoiding any feeling of tightness or restriction.
How does the merino wool/silk blend compare to 100% merino wool?
The addition of silk makes the fabric even softer, lighter, and adds a subtle sheen, while retaining the excellent thermoregulation and breathability of merino wool.
Troubleshooting
Garment feels itchy
Ensure you are using a mild wool detergent and have rinsed thoroughly. The fine merino wool and silk blend should be very soft; itchiness might occur if the garment is new and hasn't been washed, or if exposed to harsh chemicals.
Garment lost its shape after washing
Lay the garment flat to dry, gently reshaping it while damp. Avoid excessive heat or tumble drying, which can damage wool fibers and prevent contraction.
Noticeable pilling
Pilling is a natural process for wool fibers and can be gently removed with a fabric comb or shaver. Frequent washing and wear will reduce pilling over time.
