Full details
These DILLING Baby Merino Wool Socks in Green (size 12-18) are designed for infants who need comfortable, durable, and naturally regulated foot warmth. Their key benefit is the natural temperature control and moisture-wicking properties of merino wool, keeping little feet comfortable in various conditions. A potential caveat is that while merino wool is durable, frequent washing may require specific care to maintain elasticity.

FAQs
Are these socks suitable for sensitive baby skin?
Yes, they are made from 85% organic merino wool, which is known for its softness and breathability, making it ideal for sensitive skin.
How do I wash my merino wool socks?
Machine wash on a wool or delicate cycle at a maximum of 30-40°C using a wool-specific detergent. Do not bleach, use fabric softener, or tumble dry. Lay flat to dry.
Can these socks be worn in all seasons?
Yes, merino wool naturally regulates temperature, making these socks suitable for both cooler and milder weather conditions.
Why do the socks have polyamide and elastane?
Polyamide adds durability, and elastane provides stretch and ensures the socks maintain their fit and stay up comfortably without being too tight.
How do I know if this size (12-18) is correct for my baby?
This size is generally suitable for babies aged 12-18 months. It's always best to check your baby's foot measurement against the brand's sizing chart if available, but this is a standard UK baby size range.
Will these socks keep my baby's feet warm in winter?
Yes, merino wool is an excellent insulator and will help keep your baby's feet warm in cold weather. They are designed to trap heat effectively.
Do merino wool socks get smelly?
Merino wool has natural anti-odor properties, meaning they resist odor build-up much better than synthetic materials. You may not need to wash them as frequently as other socks.
Troubleshooting
Socks appear to be losing elasticity.
Ensure you are using a wool-specific detergent and washing on a delicate cycle at no more than 40°C. Avoid tumble drying, as heat can degrade elasticity.
Socks feel damp after wear.
While merino wool wicks moisture, in very humid conditions or during intense activity, some dampness may occur. Ensure the socks are fully dry before storing. For future use, consider if the environmental conditions are extreme.
Socks are showing signs of wear despite reinforced areas.
Check your washing method. Over-agitation or harsh detergents can accelerate wear. Ensure the socks are dried flat to maintain their shape and integrity.
