FAQs

Are these leggings suitable for newborns?

This specific size is for 12-18 months. DILLING offers smaller sizes suitable for newborns, made from the same merino wool and silk blend.

How often should I wash these leggings?

Merino wool is naturally odor-resistant and self-cleaning. You can wear them multiple times between washes. Wash when visibly soiled or when odor is present, following the care instructions.

Can I use regular laundry detergent?

No, it is highly recommended to use a detergent specifically designed for wool and delicates. Regular detergents can strip the natural lanolin from the wool, reducing its softness and performance.

Will my baby overheat in these leggings?

No, the natural thermoregulation of merino wool helps prevent overheating. It adapts to the baby's body temperature, keeping them comfortable in various conditions.

What is the difference between merino wool and regular wool?

Merino wool fibers are much finer and softer than those of traditional wool, making them less itchy and more comfortable against the skin. They also have superior moisture-wicking and temperature-regulating properties.

Can these leggings be worn in all seasons?

Yes, the breathable and temperature-regulating properties make them suitable for year-round wear. They provide warmth in winter and are breathable enough for cooler summer days or as a base layer.

How do I check if I have the right size?

Refer to the DILLING sizing guide for detailed measurements. Ensure the waistband fits comfortably without being too tight or loose, and that the length covers the baby's ankles appropriately.

Troubleshooting

Leggings feel itchy

Ensure you are using a wool-specific detergent and have rinsed thoroughly. Sometimes a few washes can soften the fibers further. Check that the size is correct and not too tight.

Shrinkage after washing

Avoid washing at temperatures above 30°C and never tumble dry. If shrinkage has occurred, try gently stretching the garment while damp and laying flat to dry.

Pilling on the fabric

Some pilling is natural with merino wool. To minimize it, wash inside out and use a wool-specific detergent. You can gently remove pills with a fabric shaver.

Elastic waistband feels loose

Ensure the leggings are not over-dried, which can degrade the elastic. If the issue persists after a few washes, it may indicate normal wear and tear, and it might be time to consider a new pair.

Care Instructions:

To maintain the quality and softness of the merino wool and silk blend:

  1. Washing: Machine wash on a wool program at a maximum of 30°C (86°F).
  2. Detergent: Use a wool-specific detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach.
  3. Drying: Lay flat to dry. Do not tumble dry, as high heat can damage the natural fibers and cause shrinkage.
  4. Ironing: If necessary, iron on a low setting.
  5. Storage: Store folded in a dry place.
