FAQs

Is this top suitable for sensitive skin?

Yes, fine merino wool is known for its softness and is often well-tolerated by individuals with sensitive skin. It is breathable and non-itchy, unlike coarser wool types.

How often should I wash this top?

Thanks to merino wool's natural odor-resistant properties, you can wear the top multiple times between washes. Wash only when necessary to prolong the garment's life and reduce environmental impact.

Can I wear this top in warm weather?

Yes, merino wool is breathable and helps regulate body temperature. It can keep you comfortable in warm weather by wicking away moisture.

What is the main difference between this and a regular cotton camisole?

Merino wool offers superior temperature regulation, moisture-wicking, and odor resistance compared to cotton. It also retains warmth even when damp.

Will this top shrink if I wash it?

If washed and dried according to the care instructions (gentle cycle, low temperature, lay flat to dry), shrinking should be minimal. Avoid high heat in washing or drying.

What does 'fine merino wool' mean?

Fine merino wool refers to wool fibers with a very small diameter, making them exceptionally soft, lightweight, and comfortable against the skin.

Is the lace trim made of merino wool?

The main body of the top is made of merino wool. The lace trim is typically a blend of nylon and elastane, designed for durability and stretch while complementing the wool.

Troubleshooting

Garment feels itchy

Ensure you are washing with a wool-specific detergent. Fine merino wool is generally very soft, but initial washes or improper care can sometimes lead to a sensation of scratchiness. Re-wash with a wool detergent and lay flat to dry.

Lace trim snagged or damaged

Carefully try to mend small snags by gently pulling threads back into place with a fine needle. For more significant damage, professional repair may be needed. Avoid rough surfaces and snagging during wear and washing.

Garment has lost shape

Merino wool can stretch if not cared for properly. Ensure you are washing on a gentle cycle and always laying flat to dry. Avoid wringing or stretching the garment.
