FAQs
Are these leggings suitable for sensitive skin?
Yes, these leggings are made from 100% organic merino wool, which is known for its softness and is generally itch-free and well-tolerated by sensitive skin.
Can I wash these leggings in a washing machine?
Yes, you can machine wash them on a delicate wool cycle at a maximum of 30°C, using a wool-specific detergent. However, hand washing is recommended for maximum longevity.
How should I dry these leggings?
Do not tumble dry. Lay the leggings flat on a towel to air dry, reshaping them while damp. Avoid direct heat or sunlight.
Can these leggings be worn in both summer and winter?
Merino wool's natural thermoregulation means it is suitable for year-round wear. It provides warmth in cold weather and remains breathable in warmer conditions, though they are most commonly used as a base layer in cooler months.
What is the difference between merino wool and regular wool?
Merino wool comes from merino sheep and is much finer and softer than the wool from regular sheep. This makes it less scratchy and more comfortable against the skin.
How do I know if I have the right size?
The leggings have a close, but comfortable fit. Refer to the size chart for specific measurements, and consider your child's typical clothing size. The elastic waistband should provide some flexibility.
Can these leggings be worn as outerwear?
While they are durable, they are primarily designed as a base layer or sleepwear. For active outdoor play in rough conditions, wearing them under more robust outerwear is recommended.
Troubleshooting
Leggings feel itchy
Ensure you are washing with a wool-specific detergent and have rinsed thoroughly. If itchiness persists, the child may have an extreme sensitivity to wool, though merino is typically very fine and soft.
Elastic waistband feels too tight or loose
The elastic is designed for a snug but comfortable fit. If it feels too tight, try gently stretching it while damp. If it feels loose after significant wear, it may indicate the garment is too small or has been stretched out during washing/drying.
Color fading
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight when drying, and use a mild detergent. Washing inside out can also help preserve color.
Pilling or small balls forming on the fabric
Some pilling is natural with natural wool fibers over time, especially in areas of friction. Gentle washing and avoiding harsh agitation can minimize this. You can carefully remove pills with a fabric shaver.

Care Instructions: To maintain the quality and longevity of your DILLING Merino Wool Leggings, please follow these care guidelines:
- Washing: Hand wash or machine wash on a delicate wool cycle at a maximum of 30°C (86°F). Use a wool-specific detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can damage the wool fibers.
- Rinsing: Rinse thoroughly to remove all detergent.
- Drying: Do not tumble dry. Gently squeeze out excess water – do not wring. Lay the leggings flat on a clean towel or drying rack, reshaping them to their original form while damp. Allow them to air dry completely, away from direct heat or sunlight.
- Ironing: If necessary, iron on a low heat setting (wool setting) while the garment is still slightly damp. Ensure the iron does not directly touch the elastic waistband.
- Storage: Store folded in a dry place. Avoid hanging, as this can stretch the garment.
