Troubleshooting
Garment feels itchy or rough
Ensure the garment has been washed according to care instructions. Merino wool can sometimes feel slightly different before its first wash. If irritation persists, consider if you have sensitivities to wool.
Moisture not wicking effectively
Check for any fabric softeners or detergents that may have coated the fibers, inhibiting moisture transfer. Ensure the garment is not excessively dirty or clogged with sweat residue. Wash using a gentle, wool-specific detergent.
Shrinkage after washing
Verify that the garment was washed on a very gentle cycle at 40°C and that the 'Do not tumble dry' instruction was followed. Always dry flat to prevent stretching or shrinking.
Seams causing discomfort
Ensure the garment is being worn the correct way around and that the flatlock seams are positioned to lie flat against the skin. If a seam persistently causes irritation, it may be a defect; contact customer support.
