FAQs
Are these hipsters suitable for very young children?
While these are sized for children, the material and design are intended for comfort. The specific size 5-6 is suitable for children in that age/size range. DILLING offers a range of sizes for different age groups.
Can I use regular detergent for these hipsters?
It is highly recommended to use a detergent specifically designed for wool. Regular detergents often contain enzymes and chemicals that can strip the natural lanolin from wool, damaging the fibers and reducing its insulating and moisture-wicking properties.
How often should I wash merino wool clothing?
Merino wool is naturally odor-resistant and antibacterial. It often does not need to be washed after every wear. Airing out the garment can often suffice. Wash when visibly soiled or when odor becomes noticeable, following the care instructions.
Will the beige color fade?
DILLING uses high-quality dyes. While fading is minimized, like any garment, prolonged exposure to direct sunlight during drying can contribute to color change over time. Always dry away from direct sunlight.
What is the main benefit of merino wool for children's clothing?
The primary benefit is its natural ability to regulate body temperature, keeping children comfortable in various conditions. It's also soft, breathable, moisture-wicking, and hypoallergenic, making it ideal for sensitive skin.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Refer to standard children's sizing charts for age and height/weight equivalents. The elastic waistband and leg openings offer some flexibility, but a proper fit ensures maximum comfort and performance.
Troubleshooting
Hipsters feel itchy or uncomfortable
Ensure the garment has been washed according to care instructions with a wool-specific detergent. Fine merino wool is generally soft, but initial discomfort can sometimes be resolved with proper washing or if the child is extremely sensitive.
Hipsters lost shape after washing
Avoid machine drying or using high heat. Always lay flat to air dry. If shape is lost, try gently reshaping while damp.
Merino wool odor persists after washing
Ensure you are using a wool-specific detergent and that the garment is thoroughly rinsed. Avoid using fabric softener. Washing at a slightly higher temperature (if wool program allows, up to 40°C) might help.
Stretching out excessively
Ensure correct washing and drying methods are used. Over time, some stretching can occur with wear; gentle reshaping while damp can help mitigate this.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Compatibility: These hipsters are designed as underwear or a base layer and are compatible with most outer clothing. They are suitable for children aged 5-6 years.
Care Instructions: To preserve the quality and lifespan of the merino wool:
- Washing: Machine wash on a wool program (30°C or 40°C) or hand wash.
- Detergent: Use a wool-specific detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach, as these can damage wool fibers.
- Drying: Do not tumble dry. Lay flat to air dry away from direct heat or sunlight.
