Fabric FAQs

Will the wool itch me?

No - new generation superfine merino is super-soft and luxurious to wear, and shouldn’t itch or scratch.

How do I care for the fabric?

Gentle wash, dry out of direct sunlight, fold or hang garment, warm iron if preferred.

Can I wash the garment in the washing machine?

Yes you can – on a gentle cool wash with an approved wool garment powder or liquid. Do not bleach.

Will it shrink in the wash?

No – our merino wool is a stable product, therefore it should not shrink.

Can I iron it?

Yes you can - using a warm iron is fine, but often creases disappear when drying or fall out with body heat.

Can I put my Smitten in the dryer?

No – definitely not recommended.

How long does it take to dry?

Superfine merino dries very quickly. Once washed gently squeeze and hang out to dry. Can be dry in 30 minutes, great when travelling.

Does it smell?

The beauty of superfine merino is that it breathes exceptionally well, thus minimising odour.
