FAQs

Can these leggings be worn all year round?

Yes, merino wool is naturally thermoregulating, meaning it helps keep your baby warm in cool conditions and cool in warm conditions. They are suitable as a base layer throughout the year.

Are these leggings suitable for babies with eczema or sensitive skin?

Absolutely. The fine fibers of 100% organic merino wool are very soft and breathable, making them an excellent choice for babies with sensitive skin or conditions like eczema, as they are less likely to cause irritation than many synthetic materials.

How often should I wash merino wool leggings?

Merino wool is naturally odor-resistant and doesn't require frequent washing. Spot clean minor messes if possible. When washing is needed, follow the care instructions for a gentle wool cycle. Airing out the garment can often refresh it between washes.

What makes DILLING merino wool 'organic'?

Organic merino wool comes from sheep raised on farms that adhere to strict organic farming standards, meaning no harmful pesticides or chemicals are used in the farming process. The wool is processed using environmentally friendly methods.

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

Refer to the DILLING size chart, which typically provides measurements based on age and height. The leggings should fit comfortably, close to the body without being tight, and allow for easy movement. The elastic waistband and cuffs should hold the garment in place without digging in.

Will these leggings pill?

Some minor pilling can occur with natural wool fibers, especially with friction, but it is usually minimal with high-quality merino wool like DILLING's. Proper washing and care, avoiding harsh detergents and excessive agitation, can help minimize pilling.

Troubleshooting

Leggings feel itchy

Ensure you are using 100% organic merino wool. Wash the garment according to care instructions with a wool-specific detergent. Itchiness can sometimes occur with non-merino wool or improper washing.

Garment has lost shape

Merino wool can be reshaped while damp. Gently stretch and lay flat to dry. Avoid high heat or tumble drying, which can shrink the wool.

Elastic waistband feels too tight/loose

The elastic is designed for a snug but comfortable fit. If it feels significantly off, check the size guide for correct fit. Merino wool may stretch slightly over time with wear.

Wool has shrunk after washing

This typically occurs from washing at too high a temperature or tumble drying. Hand wash or use a very gentle wool cycle at 30°C and always lay flat to dry. Mild shrinkage can sometimes be gently reversed by reshaping while damp.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Compatibility: Designed as a unisex infant garment, these leggings are compatible with a wide range of baby outfits and outerwear. They function best as a base layer.

Care Instructions: To maintain the quality and longevity of your merino wool leggings, follow these care guidelines:

  1. Washing: Machine wash on a gentle wool cycle at a maximum of 30°C (86°F). Use a detergent specifically designed for wool or delicates. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can coat the wool fibers and reduce their natural properties.
  2. Drying: Do not tumble dry. Reshape the garment while damp and lay flat to dry away from direct sunlight or heat.
  3. Ironing: If necessary, iron on a low setting (wool program) while the garment is still damp.
  4. Avoid: Do not bleach or use harsh chemicals. Avoid vigorous rubbing or wringing.
