FAQs
Are these suitable for sensitive skin?
Yes, 100% organic merino wool is known for its softness and is generally well-tolerated by sensitive skin, as it is breathable and non-irritating.
Can these be worn year-round?
While ideal for cold weather, merino wool's breathability makes it suitable for cooler days in spring and autumn as well. They are primarily designed for winter conditions.
How do I choose the right size?
Refer to the DILLING size chart, paying attention to the UK size designation (5-6 in this case) and the child's measurements. The sizing is generally consistent with standard children's clothing.
What is the 'jacquard technique'?
The jacquard technique is a knitting method that allows for complex patterns and creates a denser, warmer fabric compared to standard knits. It's the same method used for DILLING's Nordic-patterned clothing.
Are there other color options available?
This specific product is listed in blue with a geometric pattern. Please check the DILLING product catalog for other available colors and patterns in their merino wool range.
How does merino wool compare to synthetic base layers?
Merino wool offers superior natural temperature regulation, odor resistance, and softness compared to most synthetics. While synthetics can sometimes wick moisture faster, merino wool provides better insulation when damp.
Troubleshooting
Long johns feel itchy.
Ensure you are using a wool-specific detergent and washing according to the care instructions. Organic merino wool is typically soft, but an initial wash can sometimes help.
Fabric pilling after washing.
Some minor pilling is normal with wool. To minimize it, wash inside out on a delicate cycle and avoid harsh friction.
Garment has shrunk.
The garment may have been exposed to high heat during washing or drying. Hand wash in cold water and lay flat to dry for future washes.
