Product Information
Full details
This DILLING Merino Wool Fleece Suit is designed for infants and crawling toddlers seeking superior warmth and comfort, especially during car rides or outdoor naps. Its key benefit is the natural insulation and softness of merino wool. A caveat to note is that the natural wool material may change appearance and fray over time with wear and washing, which is a normal characteristic of unblended natural fibers and does not impact wool's inherent properties.

FAQs
Is merino wool itchy for babies?
No, DILLING uses fine merino wool that is exceptionally soft and non-itchy, even for sensitive baby skin. The brushed fleece finish further enhances its softness.
Can this suit be worn all year round?
Merino wool is excellent for temperature regulation. It provides warmth in cooler weather and breathability in milder conditions. It's ideal for autumn, winter, and spring, or as a layer in cooler summer evenings.
How does the natural fraying affect the suit?
The fraying is a cosmetic characteristic of natural, unblended wool and does not impact the wool's thermal properties or durability in terms of warmth and insulation.
What size should I choose?
Refer to the size guide for DILLING baby clothing. The '6-9' size typically fits babies aged six to nine months, but it's best to check measurements against your child's current size for the most accurate fit.
Can I machine wash the suit?
Yes, you can machine wash it on a wool-specific cycle at a maximum of 30°C, using a wool-approved detergent. Hand washing is also recommended for longevity.
Does the color fade with washing?
While natural wool dyes are used, some minimal fading may occur over time with repeated washing, which is typical for natural fibers. Following care instructions helps preserve the color.
Troubleshooting
Suit seems to have lost some softness after washing.
This can sometimes happen with wool. Ensure you are using a wool-specific detergent and avoiding fabric softeners. Drying flat away from direct heat and gently reshaping while damp can help restore softness. Avoid excessive agitation during the wash cycle.
Visible pilling or fraying on the fabric.
Pilling and fraying are natural characteristics of 100% merino wool, especially with friction from wear and washing. This does not compromise the wool's warmth or insulating properties. Gentle washing and reduced friction can help minimize the appearance.
Baby feels too warm or too cold.
Merino wool is breathable and temperature-regulating. If your baby feels too warm, ensure they are not overdressed underneath the suit, or that the ambient temperature isn't excessively high. If too cold, add a base layer beneath the suit. The suit is designed to work as part of a layering system.
