FAQs
Is this jacket suitable for newborns?
This specific variant is size 9-12 months. DILLING offers other sizes suitable for newborns, such as 0-3 or 0-6 months.
How does merino wool keep my baby warm?
Merino wool fibers have a natural crimp that traps air, creating an insulating layer. The fibers also wick moisture away from the skin, keeping your baby dry and warm.
Can I use fabric softener with this jacket?
No, it is not recommended to use fabric softener as it can damage the natural fibers of the merino wool and affect its performance.
What does 'unblended, natural material' mean for the jacket's appearance?
It means the jacket is made purely from merino wool without synthetic fibers. Over time and with washing, natural wool can sometimes show signs of wear like pilling or a slightly altered texture, which is normal and does not compromise its quality.
How often should I wash this jacket?
Merino wool is naturally odor-resistant and requires less frequent washing than synthetic materials. Wash only when necessary, following the care instructions, to maintain its quality and longevity.
Is the grey color unisex?
Yes, the grey color is a neutral, unisex shade suitable for both baby boys and girls.
Troubleshooting
Jacket appears to be shrinking after washing.
Ensure you are washing on a gentle wool cycle at the recommended temperature (30-40°C) and using a wool-specific detergent. Avoid tumble drying; always lay flat to dry.
Fraying or pilling on the fabric surface.
This is a normal characteristic of 100% natural, unblended merino wool. It does not affect the warmth or comfort of the jacket. Gentle washing and avoiding excessive friction can help minimize this.
Child feels too warm while wearing the jacket.
Merino wool is breathable, but for very warm indoor environments or strenuous activity, consider layering with lighter clothing or removing the jacket. Ensure the appropriate season for wear.
