Extended Product Information
FAQs
Are these tights suitable for sensitive skin?
Yes, organic merino wool is known for its softness and breathability, making it generally suitable for sensitive skin. However, individuals with severe wool allergies should consult a doctor before use.
How often should I wash these tights?
Due to merino wool's natural odour-inhibiting properties, these tights can often be worn multiple times between washes. Wash when they appear visibly soiled or no longer feel fresh.
Can I use a regular detergent?
It is highly recommended to use a detergent specifically designed for wool or delicate fabrics. Regular detergents can be too harsh and damage the merino wool fibers.
Why are polyamide and elastane included in the material?
Polyamide (nylon) is added for durability and to help the tights withstand active play, while elastane provides stretch and ensures a comfortable, flexible fit that allows for easy movement.
How do I check if I've bought the right size?
Refer to the DILLING size chart for children's apparel. The size 5-6 (UK) typically corresponds to an age range of 5-6 years, but it's best to check specific measurements for chest, waist, and inseam if possible.
Can these tights be worn in very cold weather?
Yes, the insulating properties of merino wool make these tights an excellent choice for cold weather. They can be worn as a base layer under other clothing for added warmth.
What does 'fine rib knit' mean?
Fine rib knit refers to a type of knitted fabric construction that creates vertical ribbed lines. This texture provides a snug fit, good elasticity, and adds to the overall comfort and aesthetic of the garment.
Troubleshooting
Tights feel itchy
Ensure the tights are correctly washed according to care instructions. Organic merino wool is typically very soft, but an initial wash can further soften the fibers. If irritation persists, discontinue use.
Elastic waistband feels too tight/loose
Confirm the correct size has been selected. The elastic waistband is designed for a snug but comfortable fit. If it seems disproportionate, check the sizing guide for this specific product.
Fabric pilling after a few wears
Some minor pilling can occur with wool blends, especially in areas of friction. This is normal and can be managed by washing inside out and using a wool-specific detergent. Avoid excessive rubbing during washing.
Tights lose elasticity
Ensure the care instructions are strictly followed, particularly regarding washing temperature and avoiding tumble drying. High heat can damage the elastane fibers.
