FAQs

Is this top suitable for very cold weather?

Yes, merino wool is an excellent insulator and thermoregulator, making it ideal for cold weather. It provides warmth without excessive bulk and helps manage moisture, which is crucial for staying warm.

Can this top be worn directly against the skin?

Absolutely. The DILLING merino wool top is designed with fine fibers and a smooth surface to be soft against the skin, making it comfortable as a base layer.

How often should I wash this top?

Merino wool is naturally odor-resistant. You can often wear it multiple times between washes, especially for lighter use. Wash when it shows signs of soiling or odor, following the specific care instructions.

What makes merino wool better than regular wool for activewear?

Merino wool fibers are much finer than traditional wool, making them softer, less itchy, and more breathable. They also have superior moisture-wicking and thermoregulating properties ideal for active use.

Can I tumble dry this top?

No, tumble drying is not recommended. The heat can cause merino wool to shrink and damage the fibers. Always air dry by laying it flat.

What activities is this top best suited for?

It is designed for sport and active use, making it suitable for activities like football, gymnastics, skiing, hiking, running, and general outdoor play, as well as comfortable everyday wear.

What is the benefit of the 'tight surface' mentioned in the description?

The tight surface of the merino wool fibers means the fabric is less prone to snagging and provides a smoother feel against the skin, enhancing comfort and reducing irritation during physical activity.

Troubleshooting

Top feels itchy

Ensure the top is 100% merino wool from DILLING. Sometimes initial wear can feel slightly different; ensure correct washing with wool detergent as per care instructions. The fine merino fibers should feel soft, so if persistent itchiness occurs, re-check sizing.

Top has shrunk after washing

This typically occurs due to washing at too high a temperature or tumble drying. Always follow the 30°C (86°F) max wash and flat dry instructions. If shrinkage is significant, consider purchasing the next size up for future purchases, ensuring proper care for this one.

Odor persists after washing

Ensure you are using a detergent suitable for wool and that the garment is thoroughly rinsed. Check that the washing machine is clean and free of detergent residue from other fabric types. Merino wool is naturally odor-resistant, so persistent odor might indicate insufficient cleaning.

Pilling on the surface

Some minor pilling is normal with natural wool fibers, especially with initial wears and washes. To minimize, wash inside out and avoid abrasion with rough surfaces. Gently remove any pills with a wool comb or fabric shaver if desired.
