Product Information
Full details
These DILLING leggings are designed for active children needing comfortable, temperature-regulating base layers. The key benefit is the exceptionally soft organic wool and silk blend that feels gentle on delicate skin while providing natural warmth and breathability. A potential caveat is that the snug fit, while beneficial for staying put, may require careful consideration for children who prefer very loose clothing. These leggings feature a practical elastic waistband and cuffs for a secure fit, ensuring they stay in place during play without restricting movement.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
Are these leggings suitable for very sensitive skin?
Yes, the blend of organic merino wool and silk is specifically chosen for its exceptional softness and is gentle on delicate and sensitive skin.
How do these leggings regulate temperature?
Merino wool is a natural thermoregulator; it helps keep you warm in cold conditions by trapping air and wicks away moisture in warmer conditions, helping you stay cool. The silk adds to the softness and breathability.
Can these leggings be worn as outerwear?
These leggings are designed as a base layer or undergarment. While they can be worn for lounging, they are best paired with other clothing for outdoor activities.
What is the best way to wash these leggings?
Hand wash or machine wash on a gentle cycle at 30°C with a wool-specific detergent. Avoid bleach and fabric softener. Lay flat to dry.
Do these leggings stretch out easily?
The elastic waistband and cuffs are designed for a secure fit. The natural elasticity of merino wool helps the leggings retain their shape, but following care instructions will prolong their life.
Are these leggings itchy?
This blend is known for its softness. However, individual sensitivity varies. Washing according to instructions before first wear is recommended. If itchiness is a concern, ensure you are selecting the correct size and material.
What sizes are available?
These leggings are available in various children's sizes, indicated by UK sizing (e.g., 3-4, 7-8, 10).
Troubleshooting
Leggings feel itchy
Although made from soft materials, some individuals may have sensitivities. Ensure the garment is washed according to care instructions before first wear. If itchiness persists, consider trying a different base layer material.
Elastic waistband feels too tight
The elastic is designed for a snug fit. Ensure the correct size is selected. If the size is correct and it's still uncomfortable, consider stretching the waistband gently by hand or trying a size up if preferred.
Leggings shrinking after washing
Ensure you are washing on a cold or 30°C cycle and using a wool-specific detergent. Avoid high heat during washing and drying. Always lay flat to dry.
Pilling on the fabric
Some pilling can occur with natural fibers like wool over time with friction. This is normal and does not affect the garment's performance. You can gently remove pills with a fabric shaver if desired.

To maintain the quality and longevity of the merino wool and silk blend:
- Washing: Hand wash or machine wash on a gentle/wool cycle at a maximum of 30°C (86°F).
- Detergent: Use a wool-specific detergent. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners, as they can damage the natural fibers.

- Ironing: Iron on a low setting if needed, preferably while the garment is still slightly damp.
- Frequency: Wash only when necessary to preserve the fibers; airing out the garment can often refresh it.
