FAQs

What makes this Merino wool top special?

This top uses exceptionally fine Merino wool (18.5 micron), which makes it incredibly soft, lightweight, and comfortable against the skin, unlike coarser wools. It also features a subtle rib texture and cute frilled edges.

Is this top suitable for all seasons?

Yes, Merino wool is naturally temperature-regulating. It keeps children warm in cooler weather by trapping body heat and remains breathable and comfortable in warmer conditions by wicking away moisture.

How often should I wash this top?

Merino wool is naturally odor-resistant and requires less frequent washing than synthetic materials. You can often air it out between wears. Wash only when necessary, following the specific wool care instructions.

Can this top be worn by both boys and girls?

Yes, the design is unisex, making it suitable for children of any gender.

What is the fit like?

The top has a close, but comfortable fit. It's designed to be slim-fitting, which is ideal for layering without adding bulk.

How do I care for the frilled edges?

The frilled edges are made from the same Merino wool. Follow the standard wool care instructions: gentle machine wash at 30°C, and lay flat to dry. Avoid harsh wringing or tumble drying.

What other sizes and colors are available?

This listing is for a Grey top in size 7-8. Other sizes and potentially colors may be available from the same brand, DILLING.

Troubleshooting

Garment feels tight after washing

Merino wool can sometimes shrink slightly if exposed to high heat. Ensure you are washing on a cold/30°C setting and laying flat to dry. Gentle stretching while damp can help restore fit.

Itchy sensation reported by child

The 18.5-micron Merino wool used is very fine, but individual sensitivities can vary. Ensure the care instructions have been followed, as improper washing can affect softness. If irritation persists, consider using a different base layer.

Pilling observed on the surface

Some pilling is natural with wool fibers, especially during the initial wears. Gentle washing and avoiding friction can minimize this. Pilling can often be carefully removed with a wool comb or fabric shaver.
