FAQs
Can this be worn as a standalone garment?
While soft, it is designed specifically as a base layer to wick moisture; it functions best when worn under another layer.
Is the material itchy?
No, it features high-quality merino wool and flat seams specifically designed to be soft and non-irritating for children.
Can I use fabric softener?
It is not recommended to use fabric softener, as it can coat the wool fibers and reduce their natural ability to wick moisture and breathe.
Does it shrink in the wash?
If you follow the care instructions, including washing at 40C and avoiding the tumble dryer, it will maintain its intended size.
What does ZQ certified mean?
ZQ certification ensures that the merino wool is sourced from farms that meet high standards for animal welfare, environmental management, and social responsibility.
Why is it dyed with solution?
Solution-dyeing is a process that colors the fiber before it is spun, which is more sustainable and results in colors that are highly resistant to fading.
Troubleshooting
Garment feels scratchy after washing
Ensure you are using a dedicated wool detergent; standard detergents can strip the natural oils from the wool fibers.
Base layer lost its shape
Avoid hanging the garment while wet, as the weight of the water can stretch the fabric. Always dry flat.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because this set is crafted from merino wool, proper care is critical to prevent shrinking and fiber damage. Always wash the garments inside out to protect the surface fibers. Use a dedicated wool detergent to maintain the integrity of the natural material. Machine wash on a gentle cycle at a maximum temperature of 40C. Never use bleach, do not dry clean, and do not iron. For drying, lay the set flat; do not tumble dry as the heat will damage the wool fibers.
