FAQs

Is this top suitable for sensitive skin?

Yes, 100% organic merino wool is known for its softness and breathability, making it an excellent choice for children with sensitive skin. It is hypoallergenic and less likely to cause irritation than many synthetic fabrics.

How do I determine the correct size for my child?

Refer to the size chart provided by DILLING, which typically correlates age or height with specific sizes. The listed size (e.g., 5-6 years) is a general guideline.

Can this top be worn year-round?

Absolutely. Merino wool's natural thermoregulating properties make it ideal for all seasons. It keeps children warm in winter and helps them stay cool and dry in warmer weather by wicking away moisture.

What makes merino wool better than regular wool?

Merino wool fibers are much finer than those of regular wool, making them incredibly soft, flexible, and less prone to itching. It also offers superior breathability and moisture-wicking capabilities.

How often should I wash the top?

Wash as needed. Merino wool is naturally odor-resistant, so it often doesn't require washing after every single wear, especially if worn as a base layer. Follow the care instructions to avoid over-washing, which can reduce the garment's lifespan.

Can I use a regular washing machine?

Yes, but you must use the wool program (typically 30°C or 40°C) and a wool-specific detergent. Avoid harsh cycles, high temperatures, and fabric softeners.

Does the ruffle detail add bulk?

The ruffle detailing is designed to be subtle and decorative. It adds a touch of style without significantly increasing bulk, allowing the top to be comfortably layered.

Troubleshooting

Garment feels stiff after washing.

Ensure you are using a wool-specific detergent and not fabric softener. Excessive agitation or heat can also cause stiffness. Re-wash on a gentle wool cycle with appropriate detergent and lay flat to dry.

Top seems to have shrunk.

Merino wool can shrink if exposed to high heat or aggressive washing/drying cycles. Avoid tumble drying and high-temperature washes. For minor shrinkage, gentle stretching while damp may help.

Wool fibers are pilling.

Some pilling is natural with merino wool, especially in the early stages. You can gently remove pills with a wool comb or by using a fabric shaver designed for delicate fabrics. Proper washing and reduced friction can minimize pilling over time.

Top feels itchy.

While merino wool is known for its softness, some individuals may still be sensitive. Ensure the garment is properly washed according to instructions, as residues from packaging or manufacturing can sometimes cause temporary irritation. If irritation persists, consider alternative materials.

Care Instructions:

To maintain the quality and longevity of your merino wool top, please follow these guidelines:

  1. Washing: Machine wash on a wool program (typically 30°C or 40°C) with a wool-specific detergent. Avoid regular detergents and fabric softeners, as they can damage the wool fibers.
  2. Drying: Do not tumble dry. Lay the garment flat to dry away from direct heat or sunlight. Merino wool dries relatively quickly.
  3. Ironing: Iron on a low heat setting if necessary, preferably on the reverse side.
  4. Shrinkage: Avoid excessive heat or agitation during washing and drying to prevent shrinkage.
  5. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. For long-term storage, consider using breathable garment bags.
