FAQs
Are these leggings suitable for newborns?
These leggings are available in infant sizes, including smaller sizes (e.g., 0-3 months). Always check the size guide to ensure the best fit for your newborn.
How do I know if I'm buying the right size?
Refer to the DILLING size chart provided, which typically correlates UK/US baby sizes with measurements. The leggings are designed for a close but comfortable fit.
Can these leggings be worn in summer?
Yes, merino wool is breathable and thermoregulating. While ideal for cooler weather, they can be comfortable in warmer conditions due to their ability to wick away moisture and allow air circulation.
How often should I wash these leggings?
Merino wool is naturally odor-resistant and requires less frequent washing than other materials. Wash when visibly soiled or if odor is present. Airing them out between wears can extend the time between washes.
What makes merino wool better than regular wool for babies?
Merino wool fibers are much finer and softer than traditional wool, making them less itchy and more comfortable against sensitive skin. They also have excellent moisture-wicking and temperature-regulating properties.
Will these leggings shrink if washed incorrectly?
Yes, like most wool products, improper washing (e.g., hot water, high heat drying) can cause merino wool to shrink. Always follow the care instructions for washing and drying.
Troubleshooting
Leggings feel scratchy or uncomfortable.
Ensure you are using a wool-specific detergent and have rinsed thoroughly. Organic merino wool is very fine, but improper washing can affect softness.
Leggings have lost their shape after washing.
Gently reshape the leggings while damp after washing and lay them flat to dry. Avoid high heat or machine drying, which can cause shrinkage and loss of shape.
Elastic waistband feels too tight or too loose.
The elastic is designed for a comfortable fit. If it seems off, ensure the correct size is being worn. For minor tightness, gentle stretching while damp can help. For looseness, consider if the garment has been over-dried or stretched.

Care Instructions:
- Washing: Machine wash on a wool or delicates 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 merino fibers.
- Drying: Do not tumble dry. Lay flat to dry away from direct sunlight or heat.
- Ironing: Iron on a low setting if necessary, preferably while the garment is still slightly damp.
- General Care: Reshape the garment while damp after washing. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which can degrade wool fibers over time.
