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 hypoallergenic properties, making it ideal for delicate baby skin.
How do I wash my baby's merino wool leggings?
We recommend machine washing on a wool or delicate cycle at a maximum of 30-40°C (86-104°F) using a wool-specific detergent. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners. Lay flat to dry.
Can these leggings be worn year-round?
Yes, the thermoregulating properties of merino wool make these leggings suitable for year-round wear. They keep babies warm in cooler temperatures and cool in warmer weather.
Will the leggings restrict my baby's movement?
No, the leggings are designed with a close but comfortable fit that does not restrict movement, allowing your baby to crawl, play, and move freely.
What does 'thermoregulating' mean for my baby?
Thermoregulating means the fabric helps maintain a stable body temperature. It provides warmth when it's cold and allows heat to escape when it's warm, keeping your baby comfortable in various conditions.
How do I know if I've bought the right size?
Please refer to the size guide for UK baby sizes. The leggings should fit snugly but comfortably, with the elastic waistband and cuffs keeping them securely in place without digging in.
Can I put these leggings in the dryer?
No, it is crucial not to tumble dry merino wool items. High heat can shrink and damage the wool fibers. Always lay them flat to dry.
Troubleshooting
Leggings feel itchy
Ensure the leggings are pure merino wool as described. Wash according to care instructions with a wool-specific detergent. Itching is uncommon with fine merino wool, so verify the material and care.
Garment has lost shape after washing
Avoid tumble drying and high washing temperatures. Always lay flat to dry and gently reshape while damp. Use a wool-specific detergent.
Visible wear or holes appearing
Check for snagging from rough surfaces. Ensure proper washing and drying methods are followed to prevent undue stress on the fibers. Hand wash or use a delicate cycle.
Elastic waistband feels too tight or too loose
The elastic is designed for a snug but comfortable fit. If it feels significantly off, ensure the correct size has been purchased. Merino wool can sometimes stretch slightly with wear but should generally retain its elasticity if cared for properly.

Care Instructions: To maintain the quality and longevity of the merino wool:
- Washing: Machine wash on a wool or delicate program at a maximum of 30-40°C (86-104°F). Alternatively, hand wash gently.
- Detergent: Use a wool-specific detergent. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners, as they can damage wool fibers.
- Drying: Do not tumble dry. Lay flat to dry away from direct heat or sunlight. Reshape the garment while damp.

- Pilling: Some pilling may occur over time with normal wear, which is natural for wool. It can be gently removed with a wool comb.
