Full details

FAQs

Is merino wool suitable for sensitive skin?

Yes, fine merino wool is known for its softness and hypoallergenic properties, making it an excellent choice for children with sensitive skin. Unlike coarser wools, merino fibers are very fine and smooth.

How often should this top be washed?

Merino wool is naturally odor-resistant and breathable, so it doesn't require washing after every single use. Wash when visibly soiled or when it no longer feels fresh. Airing the garment out between wears can extend the time between washes.

Can this top be worn on its own?

Yes, it can be worn on its own as a comfortable shirt, especially indoors or in milder weather. Its softness makes it suitable for direct skin contact.

What makes merino wool thermoregulating?

Merino wool fibers have a natural crimp that creates tiny air pockets. These pockets trap body heat in cold conditions and allow heat and moisture vapor to escape in warm conditions, maintaining a comfortable temperature.

How does the knitting technique help?

The knitting technique used for this top is designed to create a fabric with inherent stretch and flexibility. This allows the garment to adapt to the child's movements without restriction, ensuring comfort during all activities.

What does 'organic' mean in relation to the wool?

Organic certification ensures that the wool comes from sheep raised under strict environmental and animal welfare standards, without the use of harmful chemicals or pesticides in farming.

Can I use a regular washing machine?

Yes, but only on a delicate cycle with cold water (maximum 30°C) and using a detergent specifically designed for wool. Avoid harsh spin cycles.

Troubleshooting

Top feels stiff after washing

Ensure you are using a wool-specific or mild detergent and have avoided fabric softener. Air dry away from direct heat or sunlight.

Garment has lost some elasticity

Check that the garment was not washed in hot water or tumble dried. Gentle reshaping while damp and air drying can help restore some elasticity.

Slight itchiness reported by child

While rare with fine merino wool, ensure the care instructions are followed precisely. Sometimes, washing the garment once more with a wool rinse can enhance softness. Ensure the size is correct and not too tight.
