Super soft and silky organic merino wool and silk thermals by Engel. 

We just love these tops. They form the nicest base layer for winter or on their own in Spring/Autumn. The natural colour works beautifully with natural dyes and eco leaf prints with Eucalyptus. I dyed mine a lovely warm grey with some acorns and a few rusty nails, gently simmering for an hour in a pot.

Care: Handwashing best but can be washed on a cold machine wool cycle with a natural Enzyme-free wool shampoo like Sonett (see our wool care collection and our guide to washing wool). Reshaping before drying is important to maintain length and shape with all wool clothing. Dry in shade.

Note on using machine wash: Wool washing programmes of washing machines vary massively, therefore we can not grant warranty for any damages. With regards to using your wool washing machine cycle always use cold. If you choose to wash at 30 degrees the machine will still rinse with cold water and this shock to the fibres can cause the wool to shrink. 

*Please note, like most Engel products the value lies in the quality fabric so they are priced by size in the Child range although those costs are averaged in the Women's.*
