Full details

Extended Product Information
FAQs
Is this sweatshirt suitable for very cold weather?
Yes, the dense Merino wool quality makes it an excellent mid-layer for cold weather, providing significant warmth and insulation when combined with appropriate base and outer layers.
Can my child wear this directly against their skin?
Yes, Merino wool is known for its softness and non-itchy properties, making it comfortable to wear directly against sensitive skin.
How often should I wash this sweatshirt?
Merino wool is naturally odor-resistant. You can often simply air it out between wears. Wash only when necessary, following the specific wool care instructions to maintain the fabric's integrity.
What does 'mid-layer' mean in this context?
A mid-layer is worn between a base layer (next to the skin) and an outer layer (like a jacket). Its primary function is insulation, trapping body heat to keep you warm.
Can I put this sweatshirt in the dryer?
No, never tumble dry Merino wool. High heat will cause it to shrink and damage the fibers. Always lay flat to dry.
What makes this wool 'denser' and 'heavier'?
This refers to the weight and thickness of the wool fabric used. A denser, heavier knit provides more insulation and a more substantial feel, ideal for a warm mid-layer.
Is this sweatshirt waterproof?
No, this is a wool sweatshirt designed for warmth and insulation. It is not waterproof. For protection against rain, it should be worn under a waterproof outer layer.
Troubleshooting
Shrinking after washing
Ensure you are using a wool-specific detergent and the correct wool wash cycle (max 30°C). Avoid high heat and tumble drying. If slight shrinkage occurs, try to gently reshape the garment while damp.
Sweatshirt feels stiff
This can sometimes happen with Merino wool. Try re-washing with a wool-specific detergent and avoid fabric softeners. Laying flat to dry and gently reshaping should help restore softness.
Pilling on the fabric
Some minor pilling is natural with wool over time due to friction. You can carefully remove pills with a fabric shaver or by gently picking them off. Avoid excessive rubbing during wear and washing.
