Product Information
Full details
These DILLING Kids Merino Wool Knee High Socks are designed for children seeking comfort and warmth, especially in cooler weather or when paired with dresses and skirts. Their key benefit is superior moisture-wicking and temperature regulation thanks to 100% organic merino wool, keeping little legs dry and comfortable all day. A minor caveat is that their knee-high length might be warmer than preferred in very hot conditions for some children. These socks feature a delicate geometric pattern and a blend of merino wool, polyamide, and elastane for a secure, comfortable fit.

FAQs
Are these socks suitable for very young children?
Yes, they are designed for kids and the soft merino wool is gentle on sensitive skin. Ensure the size is appropriate for your child's age and foot size.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Refer to the size chart provided by DILLING, which typically correlates UK children's shoe sizes to sock sizes. The socks should fit snugly without being constrictive.
Can these socks be worn in summer?
Merino wool is temperature-regulating, so they can be worn in summer, but the knee-high length might be warmer than ankle socks. They are best suited for spring, autumn, and winter, or cooler summer days.
How often should I wash these socks?
Wash as needed. Merino wool has natural antibacterial properties, so they may not need washing after every single wear if worn for short periods and aired out between uses. Always follow the care instructions when washing.
Will the geometric pattern fade?
With proper care, following the washing instructions (gentle cycle, wool detergent, no bleach), the pattern should maintain its integrity and vibrancy.
What makes merino wool better than regular wool?
Merino wool fibers are much finer than traditional wool, making them softer, less itchy, and more breathable. They also have excellent moisture-wicking and temperature-regulating properties.
Troubleshooting
Socks slipping down
Ensure the correct size is being worn. The blend of elastane should provide a snug fit, but if slipping persists, consider if the leg size of the child is significantly different from the sock's intended fit.
Socks feel damp after heavy activity
Merino wool absorbs moisture effectively, which is its intended function. If they feel very damp, it indicates significant moisture absorption. Air them out and dry them as per care instructions. For extremely active children, consider lighter weight socks for very intense activities.
Pilling or wear after washing
Follow the recommended gentle wool wash cycle and wool-specific detergent. Avoid excessive rubbing or harsh detergents. Air drying also helps preserve the fibers.
