FAQs
Is merino wool itchy for children?
No, DILLING uses 100% organic merino wool known for its exceptional softness. It is generally non-itchy and comfortable, even for sensitive skin.
Can this jacket be worn in very cold weather?
Yes, it is an excellent insulating mid-layer. For very cold weather, layer it under a windproof and waterproof outer jacket.
How often should I wash the jacket?
Merino wool is naturally odor-resistant and self-cleaning. You can wash it less frequently than synthetic materials. Airing it out between wears can often suffice. Wash only when visibly soiled or when the odor becomes noticeable.
What does 'wool terry quality' mean?
It refers to the fabric construction, which has a smooth exterior and a soft, fuzzy loop pile on the inside, providing extra warmth and a comfortable feel.
Can I put this jacket in the dryer?
No, it is crucial not to tumble dry merino wool. High heat can cause shrinkage and damage the fibers. Always lay flat to air dry.
What sizes are available for this jacket?
This specific product is for size 5-6 years (UK sizing). However, this style is also available in other children's sizes. Please refer to the product page for the full range.
Is the zipper difficult for children to use?
The zipper is designed for ease of use. The pull tab is typically sized appropriately for children's hands. Ribbed cuffs and hem also help keep the garment in place while zipping.
Troubleshooting
Jacket appears stretched out after washing
Gently reshape the garment to its original dimensions while damp and lay flat to dry. Avoid wringing or excessive agitation during washing.
Zipper is difficult to close or open
Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper teeth. You can apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a specialized zipper lubricant to the teeth to help it glide smoothly.
Slight pilling on the fabric surface
Pilling is a natural characteristic of wool terry and can be gently removed with a wool comb or fabric shaver. Avoid excessive friction during wear and washing.
