FAQs

What is the main benefit of merino wool and silk for babies?

The blend offers superior softness, temperature regulation (keeping baby warm when cold and cool when warm), and breathability, ensuring optimal comfort and dryness for delicate skin.

Can these leggings be worn all year round?

Yes, the temperature-regulating properties make them suitable for year-round wear. They provide warmth in winter and are breathable enough to prevent overheating in milder seasons.

How do I know if the size 9-12 months is correct?

This size is generally suitable for babies between 9 and 12 months old, typically correlating with babies weighing around 17-21 lbs (8-9.5 kg) and measuring 27-29 inches (69-74 cm) in length. Always refer to a baby size chart for precise measurements.

Are these leggings itchy for a baby?

No, the fine fibers of organic merino wool and silk are exceptionally soft and non-itchy, designed specifically for sensitive baby skin.

Can I use a regular detergent?

It is highly recommended to use a detergent specifically formulated for wool and silk. Regular detergents can contain enzymes or chemicals that damage the natural fibers and reduce their performance.

What does 'temperature regulating' mean in this context?

It means the fabric helps maintain a stable body temperature. If the baby is cold, the wool traps heat; if the baby is warm or active, the wool wicks away moisture and allows heat to escape, preventing overheating.

Are there other colors available for this size?

This specific product is listed in Beige. Please check other listings for DILLING baby leggings in different colors or sizes.

Troubleshooting

Leggings feel scratchy after washing.

Ensure you are using a wool-specific detergent and the correct gentle wool wash cycle on your machine. Avoid fabric softeners. Air dry flat.

Leggings appear to have shrunk.

This can happen if washed at too high a temperature or tumble dried. Future washes should strictly adhere to 30°C (86°F) wool cycle and air drying.

Elastic waistband feels loose.

While the elastic is designed for comfort, excessive stretching during wear or washing can affect it. Ensure proper washing and avoid harsh wringing.

Red color transfer from other garments.

Wash with like colors only, especially during the first few washes. Use a cold wool cycle with a color-safe wool detergent.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

  • Sizing: Designed for infants aged 9-12 months (UK size).
  • Layering: Ideal as a base layer under other clothing. Compatible with sleep sacks, outerwear, and everyday baby garments.
  • Activity: Suitable for sleep, play, and moderate outdoor activities.

Care Instructions:

To maintain the quality and longevity of the merino wool and silk blend:

  1. Washing: Machine wash on a wool cycle (30°C or 40°C / 86°F or 104°F) using a detergent specifically designed for wool or silk. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can coat the fibers and reduce breathability and moisture-wicking properties.
  2. Drying: It is best to air dry the leggings. Lay them flat on a drying rack away from direct sunlight or heat to prevent shrinkage or damage to the fibers. Avoid tumble drying.
  3. Ironing: If necessary, iron on a low heat setting (wool or silk setting) while the garment is still slightly damp.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. For long-term storage, consider using breathable garment bags.
