FAQs
Are these leggings suitable for sensitive skin?
Yes, the organic merino wool and silk blend is naturally soft, breathable, and hypoallergenic, making it excellent for children with sensitive skin.
Can these leggings be worn on their own?
While designed as a base layer, their softness and comfortable fit allow them to be worn as standalone leggings for casual wear, especially indoors.
How do I know if I've chosen the right size?
Refer to the DILLING size chart for children's sizes. These leggings have a fitted design, so checking measurements against the chart is recommended for the best fit. The size 7-8 typically corresponds to a specific age and height range.
What is the benefit of the wool and silk blend?
The blend combines the temperature-regulating and moisture-wicking properties of merino wool with the luxurious softness and breathability of silk, creating a highly comfortable and functional garment.
How often should I wash these leggings?
Merino wool is naturally odor-resistant and doesn't require frequent washing. Wash only when necessary, ideally after a few wears or if visibly soiled. Airing them out between wears can help maintain freshness.
Will these leggings keep my child warm in winter?
Yes, the merino wool provides excellent insulation and warmth, making them a great choice for winter base layers. The silk adds an extra layer of softness and breathability.
Can these leggings be worn for sports?
Yes, the flexibility, breathability, and moisture-wicking properties make them suitable for many sports and active pursuits as a comfortable base layer.
Troubleshooting
Leggings feel itchy.
Ensure you have followed the washing instructions and are using a wool-specific detergent. The merino wool and silk blend is generally very soft; itchiness can sometimes occur if the garment has been exposed to harsh chemicals or incorrect washing.
Shrinking after washing.
Always wash on a cold/delicate cycle (max 30°C) and avoid tumble drying. Lay flat to dry. Merino wool can shrink if exposed to high heat.
Elastic waistband feels too tight.
Ensure the correct size has been selected. While designed to be snug, if it feels excessively tight, check for any manufacturing defects. The elastic is intended to be gentle but firm.
