Product Information
Full details
These DILLING leggings are designed for active toddlers who need comfortable, versatile, and naturally regulating base layers. Their key benefit is the use of soft, organic merino wool, providing excellent temperature control and breathability for both play and rest. A potential caveat is that merino wool requires specific care to maintain its properties. The leggings feature a flexible, no-itch rib surface, a wide elasticated leg cuff, and a practical elastic waistband for a secure fit.

FAQs
Are these leggings suitable for newborns?
While the material is soft, these leggings are sized for toddlers (9-10 UK size). For newborns, please refer to DILLING's baby sizes (0-3 months, etc.) which are specifically designed for infants.
Can these leggings be worn all year round?
Yes, the natural thermoregulation of merino wool makes them suitable for year-round wear. They provide warmth in cooler months and breathability in warmer weather.
How do I know if I'm using the right detergent?
Look for detergents specifically labeled for wool or delicate fabrics. Avoid detergents containing enzymes, bleach, or optical brighteners, as these can damage merino wool fibers.
What does 'no-itch' mean for merino wool?
'No-itch' refers to the fine micron count of the merino wool fibers used. These fine fibers lie flat against the skin, unlike coarser wools, preventing irritation and itchiness.
Can these leggings be worn for sports or intense activity?
While breathable and flexible, merino wool is best suited for moderate activity. For very intense, prolonged sports, a specialized performance fabric might be more appropriate, but for general toddler play, they are excellent.
How should I store these leggings when not in use?
Store them folded in a drawer or on a shelf. Avoid hanging them for extended periods, as this can cause the fabric to stretch and lose its shape over time.
What is the environmental benefit of merino wool?
Merino wool is a natural, renewable, and biodegradable fiber. DILLING emphasizes organic sourcing, meaning the wool is produced without harmful pesticides or chemicals.
Troubleshooting
Leggings feel scratchy or lose softness.
Ensure you are using a wool-specific detergent and washing on a gentle wool cycle. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can coat the wool fibers. Re-wash with a wool detergent if needed.
Leggings appear stretched out after washing.
Avoid tumble drying at all costs. Lay the leggings flat to dry immediately after washing, reshaping them gently while damp.
Pilling (small balls of fiber) appears on the surface.
Pilling is a natural characteristic of wool fibers, especially when new. It can be reduced by washing inside out and gently removing any pills with a fabric comb or by carefully shaving them off.
Garment feels damp or less breathable.
Ensure the garment is not layered over synthetic materials that trap moisture. Check care instructions; sometimes, residue from non-wool detergents can affect breathability. A gentle re-wash with wool detergent may help.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup:
These leggings require no setup; they are ready to wear straight out of the packaging.
Compatibility:
Designed for toddlers, these leggings are a versatile base layer that pairs well with shirts, sweaters, dresses, or outerwear. They are suitable for year-round wear.
Care Instructions:
To maintain the quality and longevity of the merino wool:
- Washing: Machine wash on a wool program (usually 30-40°C or 86-104°F) with a wool-specific detergent. Avoid harsh detergents or bleach.
- Drying: Do not tumble dry. Lay flat to dry, away from direct heat or sunlight. This prevents shrinkage and preserves the fiber structure.
- Ironing: If necessary, iron on a low setting, preferably while the garment is still slightly damp.
- Storage: Store folded in a dry place. Avoid hanging, which can stretch the fabric over time.
