FAQs

What makes merino wool terry different from regular merino wool?

Merino wool terry is a slightly thicker knit with a soft, fuzzy brushed interior, making it extra soft and providing enhanced warmth compared to standard merino wool knits.

Is this dress suitable for sensitive skin?

Yes, the dress is made from GOTS-certified organic merino wool, which is known for its softness and hypoallergenic properties, making it excellent for sensitive skin.

Can I use a regular detergent to wash the dress?

It is highly recommended to use a detergent specifically designed for wool or delicates. Regular detergents can strip the natural oils from the wool, damaging the fibers and reducing their natural properties.

How do I know if my child will stay warm enough?

Merino wool is naturally temperature-regulating. It helps keep the body warm in cold conditions by trapping air and insulating, and it wicks away moisture to keep the wearer cool when it's warm. This makes it suitable for a wide range of temperatures.

What does 'not intended for sleepwear' mean?

This indicates that the dress does not meet the specific flammability standards required for children's sleepwear in some regions. It is designed for daytime wear and active play, not for sleeping.

How should I store the dress when not in use?

Store the dress folded in a breathable garment bag or on a shelf. Avoid hanging it for long periods, as this can stretch the fabric. Ensure the storage area is dry and protected from moths.

Troubleshooting

Garment feels itchy after washing

Ensure you are using a wool-specific detergent and not fabric softener. Ensure the garment is thoroughly rinsed. Wool can sometimes feel slightly different after washing; natural fibers may need a few wears to soften up again.

Wool has lost its shape

Reshape the garment gently while damp after washing and lay it flat to dry. Avoid wringing or stretching the fabric excessively. Check washing machine settings to ensure it's not on a spin cycle that is too aggressive for wool.

Pilling on the fabric surface

Pilling is a natural characteristic of merino wool. You can gently remove small pills with a fabric comb or by using a sweater shaver. Avoid excessive friction during wear and washing.
