FAQs
What makes merino wool suitable for cold weather?
Merino wool has a natural crimp that creates air pockets, trapping body heat and providing excellent insulation. It also wicks moisture away from the skin, keeping the wearer dry and warm.
Are these leggings suitable for sensitive skin?
Yes, 100% organic merino wool is naturally soft, fine, and breathable, making it hypoallergenic and less likely to cause irritation compared to coarser wools or synthetic materials.
How do I know if I'm choosing the right size?
The leggings are designed to be close-fitting. Refer to the size chart provided by DILLING, considering the child's age and measurements for the best fit. The size '7-8' is indicated for this specific product.
Can these leggings be worn on their own?
While they can be worn as loungewear, they are primarily designed as a base layer. For maximum warmth and comfort in cold outdoor conditions, it is recommended to wear them under other garments like trousers or ski pants.
How often should I wash merino wool leggings?
Merino wool is naturally odor-resistant. Washing only when necessary after wear, or airing them out between wears, can extend their lifespan. Follow the care instructions for optimal maintenance when washing is required.
What does 'Nordic pattern' refer to?
The 'Nordic pattern' refers to the charming geometric design inspired by Nordic nature, which gives the leggings a distinctive and cheerful look suitable for winter.
Troubleshooting
Leggings feel itchy
Ensure the care instructions have been followed. Organic merino wool is generally soft, but occasional itchiness can occur if not washed properly. Consider pre-washing according to instructions.
Shrinkage after washing
Always use the wool program on your washing machine at 30°C and avoid high spin cycles. Lay flat to dry immediately after washing. Avoid tumble drying at all costs.
Pattern fading
Use a wool-specific detergent and wash inside out. Avoid excessive exposure to direct sunlight during drying.
Loss of elasticity
Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can degrade the natural fibers of merino wool. Ensure correct washing temperatures and drying methods.
