FAQs
Is merino wool itchy?
Merino wool, especially fine merino like DILLING uses, is known for its softness and is generally not itchy. The fine fibers bend easily, preventing the prickle sensation associated with coarser wools.
How often should I wash my merino wool tank top?
Thanks to its natural odor-resistant properties, you can wear your merino wool tank top multiple times between washes. Wash only when necessary, and consider airing it out between wears.
Can I use regular laundry detergent?
It is highly recommended to use a detergent specifically formulated for wool. Regular detergents can strip the natural lanolin from the wool and damage the fibers, reducing its softness and performance.
Why should I avoid fabric softener?
Fabric softeners can coat the merino wool fibers, reducing their natural ability to breathe and wick moisture. They can also degrade the fibers over time.
What does 'breathable' mean in relation to merino wool?
Breathable means the fabric allows moisture vapor (sweat) to escape from your skin to the outside air. This helps regulate body temperature and prevents you from feeling damp and cold.
How do I know if I've purchased the correct size?
Refer to the size guide provided by DILLING for accurate measurements. The tank top should fit snugly as a base layer without being restrictive.
What is the best temperature for washing merino wool?
The ideal washing temperature for merino wool is cool, typically no higher than 30°C (86°F), using a gentle wool cycle.
Troubleshooting
Garment feels itchy
Ensure you are using a wool-specific detergent and washing on a gentle cycle. If the issue persists, it may indicate a sensitivity to wool, though merino is typically very soft.
Tank top loses shape after washing
Avoid high wash temperatures and do not tumble dry. Always lay the garment flat to dry, reshaping it gently while damp.
Odor persists after washing
Ensure you are using a wool-specific detergent and that the garment is thoroughly rinsed. Check washing machine for any residual detergents that might be affecting performance.
