FAQs

What makes merino wool suitable for children's clothing?

Merino wool is exceptionally soft, breathable, and naturally temperature-regulating. It wicks moisture away from the skin and is naturally odor-resistant, making it comfortable for children in various conditions and during active play.

How do I wash this merino wool dress?

Machine wash on a wool program at a maximum of 30°C with a wool-specific detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and do not tumble dry. Lay flat to dry.

Can this dress be worn in both summer and winter?

Yes, merino wool's natural properties allow it to regulate temperature. It will help keep your child warm in cooler weather and comfortable in warmer conditions by wicking away moisture.

What is the fit of the dress like?

The dress has a close, comfortable fit on the top half and a fuller, roomier skirt designed for ease of movement and play.

Is the merino wool used organic?

Yes, the dress is made from 100% organic merino wool, ensuring it is free from harmful chemicals and sustainably sourced.

How should I store the dress?

Store the dress folded in a clean, dry place. Avoid hanging, as this can cause the merino wool fibers to stretch over time.

What does '21.5 Micron' refer to?

Micron refers to the diameter of the wool fiber. A lower micron count, like 21.5, indicates finer fibers, resulting in a softer, less itchy, and lighter garment.

Troubleshooting

Dress appears to have shrunk after washing

Merino wool can be sensitive to heat. Ensure you are washing on a wool program at 30°C maximum and not using a tumble dryer. Lay flat to dry away from heat sources.

Wool feels itchy

This dress is made from soft, organic merino wool (21.5 Micron), which is generally non-itchy. Ensure the care instructions are followed. If itchiness persists, try washing with a specialized wool detergent and rinse thoroughly.

Pilling on the fabric surface

Pilling is natural for wool fibers, especially with friction. Use a fabric comb or de-piller gently to remove pills. Proper washing and avoiding excessive friction can minimize pilling.

Color fades over time

Wash the garment inside out using a wool detergent and a color-safe program. Avoid direct sunlight when drying.

  1. Washing: Machine wash on a wool program at a maximum of 30°C (86°F). Use a detergent specifically for wool or delicates. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can damage the wool fibers.
