FAQs

Are these leggings suitable for newborns?

Yes, the smallest size (0-6 months) is suitable for newborns, providing a soft and gentle layer against their delicate skin.

How do I know if I've chosen the right size?

The leggings have a close but comfortable fit. Refer to the size guide for specific measurements. If your baby is between sizes, consider the next size up for a slightly looser fit, or the current size for a snug base layer.

Can these leggings be worn year-round?

Absolutely. The natural temperature-regulating properties of merino wool and silk make them ideal for both warm and cold weather, keeping your baby comfortable in any season.

Is merino wool itchy for babies?

DILLING uses fine merino wool fibers blended with silk, which are exceptionally soft and not itchy, even for the most sensitive skin. Proper washing also helps maintain softness.

How often should I wash these leggings?

Merino wool is naturally odor-resistant and self-cleaning to some extent. You don't need to wash them after every use. Airing them out between wears can extend their freshness. Wash when visibly soiled or when odor is present.

What makes this blend better than 100% merino wool?

The addition of silk creates an even softer feel against the skin and enhances the fabric's smooth texture and durability, while still retaining the excellent thermoregulation and breathability of merino wool.

Can I use a regular washing machine?

Yes, but only if your machine has a specific wool or delicate cycle that uses cold water and minimal agitation. Always use a wool-specific detergent.

Troubleshooting

Leggings feel itchy or irritating.

Ensure the garment has been washed according to care instructions before first wear. Merino wool is naturally soft, but initial washing can further soften the fibers. If irritation persists, the fit might be too tight; consider sizing up.

Elastic waistband has lost its stretch.

Avoid high heat drying (tumble drying or direct sunlight) as this can degrade elastic. If the stretch is significantly lost, it may be due to prolonged improper drying. Hand wash gently and lay flat to dry to preserve elasticity.

Fabric pilling after a few washes.

Some minor pilling is natural with wool and silk blends, especially with friction. To minimize, wash inside out on a gentle wool cycle and avoid excessive rubbing against abrasive surfaces. Air dry flat.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility:

These leggings are designed for infants and are compatible with most baby clothing. They serve as an excellent base layer for various outfits, from everyday wear to sleepwear.

Care Instructions:

  • Washing: Machine wash on a wool program at 30°C (86°F).
