FAQs

Are these leggings suitable for newborns?

This specific variant is sized for children aged 7-8 years. DILLING offers merino wool products in a range of sizes suitable for newborns and younger children.

How do I know if it's real merino wool?

Genuine merino wool has a naturally soft, non-itchy feel and excellent thermoregulation. The DILLING brand is known for using high-quality, 100% organic merino wool, which you can trust.

Can these leggings be worn year-round?

Yes, the thermoregulating properties of merino wool make them suitable for year-round wear. They provide warmth in winter and breathability in summer.

How often should I wash these leggings?

Merino wool is naturally odor-resistant and requires less frequent washing than synthetic materials. Washing after every few wears, or when visibly soiled, is generally sufficient. Airing them out between wears can also help refresh the fabric.

What makes merino wool good for sensitive skin?

Merino wool fibers are much finer than traditional wool, making them incredibly soft and less likely to cause irritation or itching. The natural composition is also hypoallergenic.

Can I put these leggings in the dryer?

No, tumble drying is not recommended as it can cause the merino wool to shrink and damage the fibers. Always lay flat to dry.

Troubleshooting

Leggings feel scratchy after washing

Ensure you used a wool-specific detergent and a low-temperature wool cycle. Reshape the garment while damp and lay flat to dry. Avoid fabric softener.

Leggings have shrunk

Accidental shrinkage usually occurs due to high heat washing or tumble drying. For minor shrinkage, you can try re-wetting the garment and gently stretching it back to shape while damp. Future washes should strictly adhere to cold, wool-specific cycles.

Elastic waistband feels too tight or loose

Merino wool naturally holds its shape. If the waistband feels too tight, gentle stretching while damp may help slightly. If it feels too loose after significant wear, it may indicate the elastic is nearing the end of its life, but this is rare with proper care.

Care Instructions:
