Full details
This DILLING Women's Merino Wool Strap Top is designed for adult females seeking natural warmth and softness for everyday wear. Its key benefit is the merino wool's natural breathability and odor resistance, allowing for comfortable wear and reduced washing frequency. A potential consideration is that as a base layer, its effectiveness is dependent on proper layering in colder conditions.

FAQs
Is this top suitable for very cold weather?
As a base layer, it provides excellent thermal insulation. For very cold conditions, it's recommended to layer additional insulating garments over it.
How often should I wash this merino wool top?
Thanks to merino wool's natural odor-resistant properties, you can often wear it multiple times between washes. Wash when you notice any odor or visible soiling, or based on your personal preference.
Can I wear this top on its own?
Yes, the soft fabric and delicate lace trim make it suitable to wear on its own in moderate or warm weather, or as a stylish layering piece.
What makes merino wool different from regular wool?
Merino wool fibers are much finer than those of regular wool, making them significantly softer, less itchy, and better at regulating temperature and managing moisture.
How do I ensure I choose the right size?
Refer to the DILLING size chart for accurate measurements. This top is designed to be close-fitting as a base layer, so consult the guide to determine the best fit for your body.
Will this top keep me warm if I sweat?
Merino wool is highly breathable and moisture-wicking. It draws moisture away from your skin and helps to regulate your temperature, so you should feel comfortable even when sweating during light activities.
Troubleshooting
Top feels itchy or scratchy.
Ensure you are using a wool-specific detergent and that the garment has been rinsed thoroughly. For initial wear, sometimes a light airing can help. If the issue persists, it may be a sensitivity to wool, even fine merino.
Garment has shrunk after washing.
This often occurs due to washing in hot water or using a machine dryer. Always follow the cold water, gentle cycle, and flat dry instructions. If minor shrinkage has occurred, sometimes gently stretching the garment while damp can help restore its shape.
Pilling (small balls of fiber) appears on the surface.
Some pilling is natural with natural fibers like merino wool, especially with friction. You can gently remove pills with a fabric shaver or by carefully picking them off. Washing inside out can help minimize this.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
This garment requires minimal setup as it is ready to wear upon arrival. Its primary compatibility is as an undergarment or base layer with various outfits. For care, it is recommended to hand wash or machine wash on a gentle cycle using cold water and a wool-specific detergent. Avoid using bleach or fabric softeners, as these can damage the merino fibers. It is best to dry the top by laying it flat on a clean towel away from direct heat or sunlight. Do not tumble dry or iron, as high temperatures can cause shrinkage and damage the wool's natural properties.
