FAQs
Is this top suitable for very cold weather?
Yes, 100% organic merino wool provides excellent insulation and warmth, making it ideal for cold weather conditions and activities like skiing.
How do I know if I've chosen the right size?
Refer to the size chart provided by DILLING. This particular size is listed as 5-6 years (UK). Measure your child's chest and height to compare with the measurements.
Can this top be worn directly against the skin?
Yes, DILLING's merino wool is known for its softness and is designed to be worn comfortably as a base layer directly against the skin.
How often should I wash this merino wool top?
Merino wool is naturally odor-resistant and breathable. You can often air it out between wears instead of washing. Wash only when necessary, following the care instructions.
What does 'organic' merino wool mean?
Organic means the wool comes from sheep raised under strict organic farming standards, ensuring no harmful pesticides or chemicals are used on the land or the sheep.
Is the pattern available in other colors?
This specific product is listed in Grey with a geometric pattern. DILLING may offer similar patterns in different colors or variations in other product lines.
Can this top be machine dried?
No, machine drying is not recommended. It can damage the wool fibers and cause shrinkage. Always lay flat to air dry.
Troubleshooting
Top feels itchy or rough
Ensure you are using a wool-specific detergent and washing on a gentle wool cycle. Organic merino wool is typically very soft, so itchiness might indicate improper washing or a need to break in the garment with a few wears and washes.
Top has lost its shape after washing
Merino wool should be laid flat to dry. Reshape the garment gently while it is still damp and allow it to air dry. Avoid wringing or machine drying.
Discoloration after washing
Check that you are using a color-safe wool detergent and washing with similar colors. Avoid bleach. Wash at the recommended temperature.
