Product Information
Full details
This DILLING Merino Wool Roll Neck top in Green, size 9-10, is designed for children seeking year-round comfort. Its key benefit is the natural temperature regulation of organic merino wool, keeping kids warm in the cold and cool when it's warmer. A minor caveat is that while it's very flexible, very vigorous activity might require additional layers in extreme cold. This fine and light merino wool top features a classic roll neck and a subtle rib structure for excellent stretch and flexibility, making it a versatile base layer or standalone piece.

FAQs
Is merino wool suitable for sensitive skin?
Yes, DILLING uses very fine merino wool fibers (typically 19.5 microns) which are known for their softness and are generally non-itchy, making them ideal for children with sensitive skin.
How do I know if I have the right size?
The top should fit snugly like a second skin for optimal thermal regulation and moisture-wicking. It should not be too tight to restrict movement or breathing, nor too loose, which can create cold air pockets.
Can this top be worn directly against the skin?
Absolutely. The softness of the merino wool makes it comfortable for direct skin contact. It's designed as a base layer to provide comfort and warmth from the first touch.
How often should I wash this merino wool top?
Merino wool is naturally odor-resistant and requires less frequent washing than synthetic materials. Airing the garment out between wears can often suffice. Wash only when necessary, typically after a few wears or if visibly soiled.
Will this top keep my child warm in very cold weather?
This fine merino wool provides excellent warmth for its weight. For extremely cold conditions or high-exertion activities, layering additional insulating garments over this top is recommended for maximum warmth.
What does 'temperature regulating' mean for this product?
It means the wool fibers can help keep your child warm by trapping body heat in cold weather, and conversely, they can help keep your child cool by allowing heat and moisture to escape on warmer days.
Troubleshooting
Garment feels tight after washing
Merino wool can sometimes shrink slightly if exposed to high heat. Ensure you are using a 30-40°C wool program and lay flat to dry. Avoid tumble drying. Gentle stretching while damp can help restore size.
Slight odor persists after washing
Ensure you are using a wool-specific detergent and that the washing machine is clean. For stubborn odors, a vinegar rinse (1 part white vinegar to 10 parts water, rinse thoroughly) can help neutralize smells, followed by a normal wool wash.
Pilling on the surface
Pilling is a natural characteristic of fine wool fibers. Use a fabric shaver designed for wool to gently remove pills without damaging the fabric. Proper washing and handling will minimize pilling over time.
