FAQs
Are these leggings suitable for very cold weather?
Yes, merino wool provides excellent insulation and warmth. For extreme cold, they can be worn as a base layer under other insulating garments.
Can my child wear these year-round?
Absolutely. Merino wool's natural breathability and temperature-regulating properties make it comfortable in both warm and cool conditions.
How do I know if I'm using the right detergent?
Look for detergents specifically labeled for 'wool' or 'delicates.' These are formulated to be gentle on natural fibers and typically do not contain enzymes or brighteners that can damage wool.
Will these leggings shrink if washed in warm water?
Washing merino wool in water above 30°C (86°F), especially with agitation, can cause shrinkage. Always use cold or lukewarm water and a gentle cycle.
Can I use fabric softener with these leggings?
No, fabric softeners should be avoided as they can coat the wool fibers, reducing their natural properties like breathability and moisture-wicking.
What does 'organic merino wool' mean?
It means the wool is sourced from sheep raised under organic farming standards, which prohibit the use of harmful pesticides and chemicals in pasture management and wool processing.
How long do DILLING merino wool leggings typically last?
With proper care, DILLING merino wool leggings are very durable and can last for several seasons, maintaining their shape and performance.
Troubleshooting
Leggings lose shape after washing
Ensure you are using a wool-specific detergent and a delicate or wool wash cycle. Avoid high spin speeds and always lay flat to dry. Do not tumble dry.
Skin irritation despite being wool
While rare, ensure the garment is washed before first use according to care instructions. Some individuals may have sensitivities to even the finest merino wool. Check care labels and ensure no harsh detergents were used.
Pilling of the fabric
Some pilling is natural with merino wool, especially with friction. This can be managed by washing inside out and using a garment bag. Gentle brushing can also help.
Garment feels stiff after washing
This may be due to the type of detergent used. Ensure you are using a mild, wool-specific detergent. Re-washing with a suitable detergent or using a wool rinse can help restore softness.
