FAQs
Are these leggings warm enough for winter?
These leggings are made from a light and fine wool and silk blend, offering excellent thermoregulation for moderate temperatures. For very cold winter conditions, layering additional warmth or choosing a thicker wool product might be necessary.
Can my child wear these directly against their skin?
Yes, the organic wool and silk blend is exceptionally soft and designed to be worn directly against delicate skin without causing irritation.
How do I know if I bought the right size?
The leggings should fit snugly but comfortably, without restricting movement. Check the size guide provided by DILLING and ensure the elastic waistband and cuffs feel secure but not constrictive.
What is the benefit of the wool and silk blend?
The blend combines the natural temperature-regulating and moisture-wicking properties of merino wool with the exceptional softness, breathability, and gentle feel of silk. This creates a highly comfortable and functional garment.
How often should I wash these leggings?
Merino wool is naturally odor-resistant and requires less frequent washing than synthetic materials. Airing them out between wears can often suffice. Wash only when visibly dirty or when odor persists, following the care instructions.
Do these leggings have a tag inside?
DILLING typically uses printed labels rather than stitched tags to enhance comfort and prevent irritation, especially for children's sensitive skin.
Troubleshooting
Leggings feel itchy
Ensure you are using a wool-specific detergent and washing at the correct temperature (max 30°C). Merino wool is naturally soft, but improper washing can affect texture. Allow for a break-in period if this is the first wear.
Leggings shrinking or losing shape
Avoid high washing temperatures and tumble drying. Always wash on a delicate cycle at 30°C and lay flat to dry. Do not wring out excessively.
Elastic waistband feels too tight/loose
The elastic is designed for a snug fit without restriction. If it consistently feels too tight or loose after washing, ensure the correct size was purchased. The elastic may relax slightly over time.
Stains not coming out easily
Treat stains promptly. For wool and silk, avoid harsh stain removers. Gently spot clean with a mild wool detergent and cool water. For stubborn stains, consider professional cleaning by a specialist in natural fibers.

Care Instructions:
To maintain the quality and longevity of the merino wool and silk blend, follow these care guidelines:
- Washing: Machine wash on a wool or delicates cycle at a maximum of 30°C (86°F). Use a detergent specifically designed for wool or silk. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can damage the natural fibers.
- Drying: Do not tumble dry. Lay the leggings flat on a drying rack or towel, away from direct heat or sunlight. Reshape while damp.
- Ironing: If necessary, iron on a low heat setting (wool/silk program) while the garment is still slightly damp.
- General Care: Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which can fade colors and degrade fibers. Do not bleach or dry clean.
