FAQs
What is the main benefit of merino wool and silk for children's clothing?
The blend provides excellent thermoregulation, keeping children warm when it's cold and cool when it's warm, while also being soft, breathable, and moisture-wicking.
How should I wash this top?
Machine wash on a wool program at 30°C with a wool-specific detergent. Do not use bleach or fabric softener.
Can this top be tumble dried?
No, it should not be tumble dried. Lay it flat to dry to maintain the shape and integrity of the wool and silk fibers.
Will the top shrink if washed?
Merino wool fibers naturally contract after washing, which helps the garment return to its original shape if it has stretched during wear. Follow the care instructions to avoid excessive shrinkage.
Is this top suitable for sensitive skin?
Yes, the fine merino wool and silk blend is exceptionally soft and breathable, making it suitable for children with sensitive skin. It helps regulate body temperature and wick away moisture, reducing irritation.
What does 'pointelle pattern' mean?
A pointelle pattern is a type of knitwear that creates a delicate, often floral or geometric, openwork design. On this top, it's a subtle decorative detail.
Can this be worn year-round?
Absolutely. The thermoregulating properties of merino wool and silk make it ideal for wear in all seasons, providing warmth in winter and breathability in summer.
Troubleshooting
Garment stretches significantly during wear.
This is a natural property of merino wool. The garment will contract back to its original shape after washing. Ensure you are washing it according to the care instructions.
Top feels itchy.
The blend of fine merino wool and silk is designed for softness. If irritation occurs, ensure the care instructions have been followed precisely, as harsh detergents or high washing temperatures can affect the fibers.
Color appears faded after washing.
Use a wool-specific detergent and wash on a cool setting (30°C). Avoid direct sunlight when drying. Harsh detergents or excessive washing can lead to color fading.
