FAQs
Is this sweatshirt suitable for very cold weather?
Yes, its dense merino wool quality makes it an excellent mid-layer for cold weather. For extreme cold, consider adding a warmer outer layer.
Can my child wear this directly against their skin?
Yes, 100% organic merino wool is typically very soft and comfortable against the skin for most children.
How often should I wash this sweatshirt?
Merino wool is naturally odor-resistant. You can often wear it multiple times between washes. Wash only when necessary, following the care instructions.
What is the main benefit of merino wool for kids' clothing?
The primary benefits are its natural temperature regulation (keeping kids warm or cool as needed), breathability, moisture-wicking properties, and softness.
Does DILLING offer this sweatshirt in other colors or sizes?
This guide focuses on the Black color in size 9-10. DILLING offers a range of sizes and potentially other colors in their merino wool clothing line.
Is the fit suitable for layering?
Yes, the relaxed fit is specifically designed to be comfortable when worn over base layers and under outer layers.
Can I use a regular washing machine to clean it?
Yes, but only on a specific wool or delicate cycle with cold water and wool-specific detergent. Avoid high heat and harsh cycles.
Troubleshooting
Sweatshirt feels itchy.
Ensure the garment is clean and free from detergent residue. Merino wool is generally soft, but if irritation persists, try wearing a thinner base layer underneath.
Garment has shrunk after washing.
Merino wool can shrink if exposed to high heat or agitation. Always use a cool wool cycle and lay flat to dry. If slight shrinkage has occurred, try gently stretching the damp garment back into shape.
Odor returns quickly after washing.
Ensure you are using a wool-specific detergent and that the garment is rinsed thoroughly. Airing the garment out naturally also helps eliminate odors.
Pilling or fuzzing on the surface.
Some pilling is normal with wool. Gently remove any pills with a fabric comb or by hand. Avoid excessive friction during wear and washing.
