FAQs

What makes merino wool good for active children?

Merino wool is naturally thermoregulating, meaning it helps keep kids warm when it's cold and cool when it's warm. It's also highly breathable and wicks moisture away from the skin, keeping children dry and comfortable during physical activities.

Can this top be worn year-round?

Yes, the thermoregulating properties of merino wool make it suitable for year-round wear. It's excellent as a base layer in colder months and breathable enough for active use in milder weather.

Is merino wool scratchy?

High-quality merino wool, like that used in this DILLING top, has fine fibers that are soft and smooth against the skin, preventing the itchiness associated with traditional wool.

How often should I wash this top?

Merino wool is naturally odor-resistant, so it can often be worn several times between washes. Airing the garment out can refresh it. Wash only when necessary using a wool cycle and appropriate detergent.

What activities is this top best suited for?

It is ideal for sports like football and gymnastics, outdoor adventures such as hiking, and winter activities like skiing. Its flexibility and moisture-wicking properties support active play and exercise.

Can I use a regular detergent to wash this?

No, it is best to use a detergent specifically designed for wool. Regular detergents and fabric softeners can strip the natural oils from merino wool, damaging the fibers and reducing their effectiveness.

What are the benefits of the smooth surface?

The smooth and tight surface of the merino wool minimizes friction against the skin, preventing chafing and making it comfortable to wear, especially during vigorous activity or as a base layer under other clothing.

Troubleshooting

Top feels itchy or scratchy

Ensure the garment is 100% merino wool and has been washed according to care instructions. Sometimes an initial wash can further soften the fibers.

Garment has shrunk after washing

The garment may have been exposed to high heat. Avoid machine drying and high washing temperatures in the future. Follow the 30°C wool program strictly.

Top retains odor after wearing

While merino wool is naturally odor-resistant, heavy exertion can still lead to some odor. Ensure proper washing with wool detergent. Airing the garment thoroughly between wears can help reduce odor buildup.

Pilling observed on the surface

Pilling is natural for wool products, especially with friction. This does not affect the performance. Use a fabric shaver gently if desired, and ensure washing with similar fabrics.

Care Instructions:

  • Washing: Machine wash on a wool program at a maximum of 30°C (86°F).
  • Detergent: Use a wool-specific detergent. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners, as they can damage the merino fibers.
  • Drying: Air dry the garment. Do not tumble dry, as high heat can shrink or damage the wool. Lay flat to dry to maintain its shape.
  • Ironing: If necessary, iron on a low setting, preferably while the garment is slightly damp.
  • Frequency: Due to merino wool's natural odor-resistant properties, the top can often be worn multiple times between washes. Airing it out can refresh the garment.
