FAQs
Are these leggings suitable for newborns?
These leggings are sized for 6-9 months. For newborns, DILLING offers smaller sizes (e.g., 0-3 months) which would be more appropriate. Always check the size guide.
Can these leggings be worn in summer?
Yes, Merino wool is breathable and temperature-regulating. While they provide warmth, they also help keep the skin dry and comfortable in warmer weather by wicking moisture. They are excellent as a base layer or on their own during cooler summer evenings.
How do I wash Merino wool leggings?
Hand wash or machine wash on a gentle wool cycle at 30°C using a wool-specific detergent. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners. Do not tumble dry; lay flat to air dry.
Will my baby find this material itchy?
DILLING uses 100% organic Merino wool, which is known for its softness and lack of itchiness compared to traditional wool. It is generally very comfortable against sensitive skin.
What does 'temperature regulating' mean for a baby?
It means the fabric helps maintain a stable body temperature. In cold conditions, it traps body heat to keep the baby warm. In warmer conditions, it wicks moisture away from the skin, allowing heat to escape and keeping the baby cool and dry.
Can I use a regular washing powder?
It is highly recommended to use a detergent specifically designed for wool. Regular detergents can strip the natural lanolin from the wool fibers, damaging them and reducing their insulating and moisture-wicking properties over time.
How durable is Merino wool for active babies?
Merino wool is a strong natural fiber, but like all natural fibers, it requires proper care. For active babies, regular washing and drying according to instructions will help maintain its durability and prevent excessive wear or damage.
Troubleshooting
Leggings feel itchy or rough
Ensure you are using a wool-specific detergent and have followed the care instructions. New wool can sometimes feel slightly different until washed according to instructions. Check that the care label is still attached and not causing irritation.
Leggings have lost shape or stretched out
Avoid high spin cycles in the washing machine and do not tumble dry. Gently reshape the leggings while damp and lay flat to dry. Merino wool is naturally elastic and should regain its shape if cared for properly.
Baby feels too warm or cold
Merino wool is temperature-regulating, but consider the overall clothing layers. If too warm, remove another layer; if too cold, add a suitable outer layer. Ensure proper fit – too tight can restrict comfort, too loose might not insulate effectively.
Pilling on the fabric
Some pilling is normal with natural wool fibers, especially with initial wear. This can often be managed with a fabric comb or shaver designed for wool. Proper washing and minimizing friction can help reduce pilling.
