FAQs
Are these leggings suitable for sensitive skin?
Yes, 100% organic merino wool is known for being soft, breathable, and hypoallergenic, making it ideal for children with sensitive skin.
How do merino wool leggings regulate temperature?
Merino wool fibers have a natural crimp that traps air, creating an insulating layer. They can also absorb and release moisture vapor, helping to keep the wearer dry and comfortable in both warm and cool conditions.
Can these leggings be worn all year round?
Yes, the temperature-regulating properties of merino wool make them suitable for year-round wear as a base layer. They provide warmth in winter and breathability in summer.
How often should I wash these leggings?
Merino wool is naturally odor-resistant. Washing can often be reduced. Wash when visibly dirty or after several wears, following the specific care instructions to maintain the garment's integrity.
What is the difference between these and regular leggings?
These leggings are made from 100% organic merino wool, offering superior breathability, temperature regulation, and moisture-wicking properties compared to standard cotton or synthetic leggings.
Can I use a regular detergent?
It is best to use a detergent specifically formulated for wool or a mild, pH-neutral detergent. Regular detergents can be too harsh and may damage the merino wool fibers.
Troubleshooting
Leggings feel damp after wear
Merino wool wicks moisture away from the skin; this is a sign it's working. Ensure proper airflow during wear. If the leggings remain damp after washing, ensure they are rinsed thoroughly and dried completely flat away from heat.
Shrinkage after washing
Ensure you are washing on a gentle cycle at 30°C (86°F) and using a wool-specific detergent. Avoid high temperatures and aggressive spinning. Lay flat to dry and do not tumble dry.
Pilling on the surface
Some pilling is normal with natural wool fibers, especially with friction. This can often be gently removed. Avoid excessive rubbing or washing with abrasive fabrics.

Care Instructions:
To maintain the quality and longevity of your merino wool leggings:
- Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle at a maximum of 30°C (86°F). Use a detergent specifically designed for wool or a mild, pH-neutral detergent.
- Rinsing: Rinse thoroughly to remove all detergent.
- Spinning: Spin at a low speed to remove excess water.
- Drying: Lay the leggings flat to dry. Avoid direct sunlight or heat sources. Do not tumble dry.
- Ironing: If necessary, iron on a low setting (wool program) with the garment turned inside out. Never iron directly on the frilled edges.
- Avoid: Do not use fabric softeners or bleach, as these can damage the wool fibers.
