FAQs

What is the best way to wash this tank top?

Hand wash or machine wash on a gentle cycle with a wool-specific detergent in cold water (max 30°C). Avoid harsh chemicals and high heat.

How do I prevent the tank top from losing its shape?

The wool fibers will naturally contract after washing. For best results, lay the garment flat to dry and reshape it while damp. Avoid tumble drying.

Can this tank top be worn in warm weather?

Yes, the merino wool and silk blend is highly breathable and moisture-wicking, making it comfortable for warmer conditions as a standalone top.

Is this suitable for sensitive skin?

Merino wool is known for its softness and non-itchy properties, making it generally well-tolerated by sensitive skin. The silk blend further enhances its smoothness.

How does the merino wool/silk blend compare to pure merino wool?

The addition of silk enhances the garment's softness, drape, and subtle sheen, while maintaining the excellent temperature regulation and breathability of merino wool.

Will this tank top shrink significantly?

When following the recommended cold wash and flat dry method, significant shrinkage is unlikely. The wool fibers will naturally contract slightly after washing, helping to restore the garment's fit.

Troubleshooting

Garment stretches significantly during wear.

This is a characteristic of the natural wool fibers. After washing according to care instructions, the garment will regain its shape. Avoid overstretching during wear.

Fabric feels stiff after washing.

Ensure you are using a wool-specific detergent and cold water. Avoid harsh detergents or high washing temperatures, which can damage the fibers. Re-shape while damp and lay flat to dry.

Pilling occurs on the fabric surface.

Some minor pilling can occur with natural fiber garments, especially with friction. Use a fabric comb or a specialized depiller to gently remove any pills. Proper washing and drying techniques can minimize this.
