FAQs
What makes this Merino wool dress special?
The dress is made from particularly fine Merino wool (18.5 micron), making it exceptionally soft, lightweight, and comfortable against a baby's delicate skin. The knitting technique also allows for superior flexibility and freedom of movement.
Is this dress suitable for sleepwear?
No, this dress is not intended for sleepwear. It is designed for daytime wear and active play.
How do I wash the Merino wool dress?
It is best to hand wash or machine wash on a gentle wool cycle at a maximum of 30°C using a wool-specific detergent. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners.
Can I put the dress in the dryer?
No, do not tumble dry the dress. It should be laid flat on a clean towel to air dry, reshaping it while damp. Avoid direct heat or sunlight.
What is the fit like?
The dress has a close, comfortable fit on the top half, with a roomy and loose skirt designed to allow for unrestricted movement and play.
Is this dress suitable for sensitive skin?
Yes, fine Merino wool is naturally hypoallergenic and very gentle, making it suitable for babies with sensitive skin.
What does 'micron' mean in relation to wool?
Micron refers to the diameter of the wool fiber. A lower micron count, like 18.5 in this dress, indicates finer, softer fibers, which results in a more comfortable and less itchy garment.
Troubleshooting
Garment feels itchy or rough.
Ensure you are using a wool-specific detergent and that the garment has been washed according to care instructions. Fine Merino wool is naturally soft, so roughness might indicate improper washing or exposure to harsh chemicals.
Dress has lost its shape.
Reshape the garment gently while it is damp and lay it flat to dry. Avoid stretching or wringing the fabric. High spin cycles in a washing machine can also contribute to shape loss.
Pilling observed on the fabric.
Pilling is a natural occurrence with knitted garments, especially wool. It can be gently removed with a fabric shaver or by carefully picking off the pills by hand.
