DILLING Sweatshirt - Blue - 5-6

Merino wool fibers are very fine and have a different structure than traditional wool, making them much softer and less likely to cause itchiness. This DILLING sweatshirt is specifically designed with soft organic merino wool terry for maximum comfort.

Merino wool is naturally odor-resistant and breathable, so it doesn't need to be washed after every wear. Airing the garment out between uses can help refresh it. Wash only when visibly soiled or when odor is present, following the specific wool care instructions.

While primarily a mid-layer for cooler weather, merino wool's breathability and temperature-regulating properties make it suitable for slightly cooler summer evenings or in air-conditioned environments. However, for very hot summer days, lighter, more breathable materials might be preferred.

Merino wool terry refers to the knit structure of the fabric. It has a smooth outer surface and a soft, fuzzy loop pile on the inside, similar to cotton terry cloth, providing extra softness and insulation.

Yes, organic merino wool is generally well-tolerated by sensitive skin due to its fine fibers and natural properties. However, individual sensitivities can vary. If your child has extreme sensitivities, test a small area first.

Raglan sleeves are characterized by a seam that runs diagonally from the underarm to the collarbone, rather than a traditional shoulder seam. This design allows for a wider range of motion and a more comfortable fit for active children.

Merino wool can sometimes shrink if washed at too high a temperature or agitated too much. Ensure you are using the correct wool wash program (30°C) and a mild detergent. Avoid tumble drying, which can cause shrinkage. If slightly tight, try reshaping it while damp and drying flat.

Avoid using fabric softener, as it can coat wool fibers and reduce their natural softness and performance. Stick to a mild wool detergent and ensure proper washing techniques. Washing less frequently and airing the garment out can also help maintain softness.

Some pilling is natural with wool, especially in high-friction areas. This can be gently removed with a wool comb or fabric shaver. Frequent washing or rubbing can exacerbate pilling; try to wash only when necessary and follow care instructions.
