Product Information
Full details
These DILLING merino wool terry trousers are designed for children who need comfortable, warm, and versatile bottoms. The key benefit is their natural temperature regulation and softness, making them ideal for both loungewear and as a mid-layer. A potential consideration is the specific care required for merino wool to maintain its quality. These trousers feature a smooth outer surface with a soft, fuzzy interior, elasticated ribbing at the waist and ankles, and an internally fastened drawstring for safety.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
Are these trousers itchy?
No, merino wool is known for its softness and fine fibers, which typically do not cause itchiness. The terry construction further enhances comfort.
Can these be worn directly against the skin?
Yes, they are designed to be soft and comfortable enough for direct skin contact, functioning well as loungewear or a base layer.
How do I know if I'm washing them correctly?
Use a wool or delicate cycle on your washing machine at a maximum of 30°C. Use only a detergent specifically designed for wool. Avoid bleach and fabric softener.
What is the benefit of the internal drawstring?
The internal drawstring is a safety feature designed to prevent the drawstring from becoming a tripping or snagging hazard for the child.
Can these trousers be tumble dried?
No, tumble drying is not recommended for merino wool as the heat can cause shrinkage and damage the fibers. Always lay them flat to dry.
How do merino wool trousers perform in warm weather?
Merino wool is naturally breathable and moisture-wicking, which helps regulate body temperature. While excellent for cooler weather, they can still be comfortable in moderate warmth as they help manage sweat.
What does 'wool terry' mean?
Wool terry refers to a knitted fabric construction that creates loops on one side (like a towel) and a smooth surface on the other. For these trousers, the inside is soft and fuzzy terry, while the outside is smooth.
Troubleshooting
Trousers feel stiff after washing
Ensure you are using a wool-specific detergent and a gentle wool wash cycle. Avoid fabric softeners. Lay flat to dry and gently reshape.
Drawstring has come out of the waistband
Use a safety pin to carefully thread the drawstring back through the internal waistband channel. Consult the product packaging or DILLING website for diagrams if needed.
Child feels too warm/sweaty
Merino wool is breathable, but if a child is very active or in a warm environment, consider removing a layer. These trousers are also suitable as a single layer in milder temperatures.
Shrinking after washing
Always wash on a cold or wool setting (max 30°C) and avoid high heat in drying. Lay flat to dry. If slight shrinkage occurred, gently stretching while damp might help.
