Full details
These DILLING Merino Wool Leggings are designed for children seeking ultra-soft, all-season base layers. Their primary benefit is the natural thermoregulation and breathability of 100% organic merino wool, keeping kids comfortable in various temperatures.

FAQs
Are these leggings suitable for very cold weather?
Yes, merino wool is an excellent insulator and thermoregulator, making these leggings very effective for cold weather when used as a base layer.
Can my child wear these directly against their skin?
Absolutely. They are made from exceptionally soft, fine merino wool designed for direct skin contact, even for sensitive skin.
How often should I wash these leggings?
Merino wool is naturally odor-resistant. You can often air them out between wears. Wash only when necessary, following the gentle care instructions, to prolong the garment's life.
Will these leggings shrink if washed incorrectly?
Yes, like most wool products, they can shrink significantly if exposed to high heat, vigorous agitation, or tumble drying. Always follow the cold wash, gentle cycle, and flat dry instructions.
Can these be worn as outerwear?
While they are durable for play, they are primarily designed as a base layer or for sleepwear. For rough outdoor play in very cold conditions, consider wearing them under more robust outerwear.
What is the difference between merino wool and regular wool?
Merino wool comes from merino sheep and is much finer and softer than traditional wool. This fineness makes it less itchy and more comfortable for direct skin contact.
Are these leggings machine washable?
Yes, they are machine washable on a gentle or wool cycle at a maximum of 30°C, using a wool-specific detergent. Avoid tumble drying.
Troubleshooting
Leggings feel itchy
Ensure you are using a wool-specific, mild detergent. Merino wool is very fine, but residual detergent can cause irritation. Also, check that the garment has been washed and rinsed thoroughly.
Garment has lost its shape
Avoid tumble drying. Reshape the leggings gently while damp and lay them flat to dry. High heat from tumble dryers can damage wool fibers.
Pilling (small balls of fiber forming on the surface)
Some pilling is natural with merino wool, especially during the initial wears. Gentle washing and avoiding harsh friction can minimize this. You can carefully remove pills with a fabric shaver.
Elastic waistband feels too tight/loose
The elastic is designed for a comfortable fit. If it feels significantly off, ensure you have the correct size. Wool garments can stretch slightly with wear but should return to shape after washing.
