FAQs
Can these leggings be worn year-round?
Yes, the natural thermoregulating properties of merino wool make these leggings suitable for all seasons. They provide warmth in winter and breathability in summer.
How do I know if the size is correct?
Refer to the size chart provided by the manufacturer. For this product, the size is listed as 3-5 (UK baby size). Ensure the measurements align with your baby's current size.
Are these leggings suitable for sensitive skin?
Absolutely. They are made from 100% organic merino wool, which is naturally hypoallergenic, free from irritants, and known for its softness and lack of itchiness.
What is the benefit of merino wool over regular wool?
Merino wool fibers are much finer and softer than traditional wool, making them less likely to cause irritation or itchiness. They also have superior moisture-wicking and temperature-regulating capabilities.
Can I use a regular washing machine?
Yes, but it is crucial to use the wool or delicates cycle with a cool temperature (max 30°C) and a wool-specific detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and do not tumble dry.
How often should I wash these leggings?
Merino wool is naturally odor-resistant and can often be worn multiple times between washes. Airing them out can refresh the garment. Wash when visibly soiled or after significant wear.
What does 'thermregulating' mean for my baby?
Thermregulating means the wool fibers help maintain a stable body temperature. They can wick moisture away to cool the body when too warm, and trap air to provide insulation when cold, preventing overheating or chilling.
Troubleshooting
Leggings feel itchy or rough.
Ensure you are using a wool-specific detergent and have rinsed thoroughly. Merino wool should naturally be itch-free; if persistent, consider a different brand or test for sensitivities.
Leggings have shrunk after washing.
This is likely due to washing at too high a temperature or tumble drying. Always follow the care instructions carefully for future washes, using cool water and laying flat to dry.
Elastic waistband or cuffs have lost their stretch.
Over time, excessive heat or harsh detergents can degrade elastic. Ensure you are washing and drying according to the care guidelines to preserve elasticity.
Pilling has occurred on the surface.
Some pilling is natural with wool fibers, especially in high-friction areas. You can gently remove pills with a fabric shaver or fine-toothed comb. Proper washing and care can minimize pilling.

Compatibility: These leggings are designed for infants and toddlers. They are suitable for wear on their own or as a base layer under other clothing. They are compatible with most diaper types.
Care Instructions: To maintain the quality and longevity of your merino wool leggings, follow these care guidelines:
- Washing: Machine wash on a wool or delicates cycle at a maximum of 30°C (86°F). Use a detergent specifically designed for wool or delicates. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can damage the wool fibers.
- Drying: Lay flat to dry away from direct heat or sunlight. Do not tumble dry, as high heat can cause shrinkage and damage the wool.
- Ironing: If necessary, iron on a low heat setting with the garment inside out. It is generally not recommended to iron merino wool.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Consider using cedar blocks to deter moths.
