FAQs
Is merino wool suitable for sensitive skin?
Yes, DILLING uses very fine merino wool fibers (typically 19.5 microns) which are naturally soft and non-itchy, making them excellent for children with sensitive skin.
How does merino wool keep my child warm AND cool?
Merino wool is a natural insulator that traps air for warmth in cold conditions. Simultaneously, its breathable fibers wick moisture away from the skin and allow evaporation, which helps cool the body down when it's warm.
Can I wear this top year-round?
Absolutely. The temperature-regulating properties of merino wool make it suitable for layering in winter and comfortable as a standalone or light layer in warmer months.
How often should I wash this top?
Merino wool is naturally odor-resistant. You can often air it out between wears instead of washing. Wash only when necessary, using a gentle wool cycle and detergent.
What is the specific size range for this product?
This particular product listing is for size 6 (UK children's sizing). DILLING offers this roll neck top in a range of sizes for children.
Can this top be tumble dried?
No, tumble drying is not recommended. High heat can cause merino wool to shrink and damage the fibers. Always lay flat to dry.
What does 'roll neck' mean?
A 'roll neck' refers to a high neckline that is typically folded over or rolled down, similar to a turtleneck but often softer and less constricting.
Troubleshooting
Top feels scratchy after washing.
Ensure you used a wool-specific detergent and a gentle wool cycle. Avoid fabric softeners. Hand washing may provide a gentler clean. Air drying flat is crucial.
Top has shrunk.
Avoid high heat in washing or drying. If minor shrinkage, try gently stretching the garment while damp and laying flat to dry. For significant shrinkage, unfortunately, it may be irreversible.
Pilling or bobbling on the surface.
This is natural for merino wool over time. Use a fabric comb or electric fabric shaver gently to remove pills. Avoid excessive rubbing during washing.
Odor persists after washing.
Ensure you are using a wool-specific detergent. Air out the garment between wears. If odor persists, a soak in cool water with a small amount of white vinegar might help, followed by thorough rinsing.
