Product Information
Full details
These DILLING organic merino wool socks are designed for infants, offering natural breathability and temperature regulation for sensitive skin. The key benefit is superior comfort and consistent warmth, day and night. A minor consideration is the specific size range of 0-6 months, requiring careful selection for older infants. Made from a blend of organic merino wool, polyamide, and elastane, these socks feature a wide, elasticated cuff and a subtle ribbed surface for flexibility and a secure fit.

FAQs
Are these socks suitable for newborns?
Yes, the 0-6 month size is appropriate for newborns, provided they fit comfortably. The organic merino wool is very gentle on newborn skin.
How do I know if the size is correct?
The size 0-6 months typically corresponds to UK baby sizes. The socks should fit snugly without being tight, and the cuff should reach comfortably up the leg without sagging or digging in.
Can these socks be worn year-round?
Yes, merino wool's natural temperature-regulating properties make these socks suitable for all seasons. They provide warmth in winter and breathability in summer.
How often should I wash these socks?
It's recommended to wash them after each wear, especially for babies. Use the gentle wool care instructions to preserve the material's integrity.
What makes merino wool better than cotton for baby socks?
Merino wool is naturally breathable, moisture-wicking, and temperature-regulating, keeping feet dry and at a comfortable temperature. Cotton can hold moisture, leading to clammy feet, and doesn't offer the same level of insulation or breathability.
Will the socks shrink if washed incorrectly?
Yes, improper washing (e.g., high heat, vigorous agitation, or tumble drying) can cause merino wool to shrink. Always follow the cold wash, wool cycle, and flat dry instructions.
What does 'organic' mean in this context?
Organic refers to the merino wool being sourced from sheep raised under strict organic farming standards, without the use of harmful pesticides or chemicals in the farming process.
Troubleshooting
Socks losing shape after washing
Ensure you are using a wool-specific detergent and the correct 'wool' wash cycle on your machine at no more than 30°C. Avoid tumble drying and dry flat, reshaping while damp.
Socks feel too warm
Merino wool is naturally temperature-regulating. If they feel too warm, it might be due to the ambient temperature. For extremely hot conditions, consider lighter, non-wool options. Ensure the baby is not overdressed in other layers.
Elastic cuff is too loose or too tight
The wide elastic cuff is designed for a gentle grip. If it seems too loose, ensure the socks are correctly sized for your baby's feet. If too tight, it's possible the socks are the wrong size or have been over-stretched during washing.
