Full details
These DILLING baby merino wool fleece trousers are designed for infants, offering exceptional softness and warmth as a homewear or mid-layer option. Their key benefit is the natural thermal regulation and comfort provided by 100% merino wool. A caveat to consider is that natural wool materials may change appearance and fray over time with wear and washing, though this does not impact their insulating properties.

FAQs
What is the primary benefit of merino wool for baby clothing?
Merino wool is naturally temperature-regulating, breathable, and moisture-wicking, keeping babies comfortable in various conditions without overheating or feeling clammy.
Can these trousers be worn in very cold weather?
As a mid-layer, they provide significant warmth. For very cold conditions, they should be combined with a suitable outer layer. On their own, they are best suited for mild to cool weather or as indoor wear.
How often should I wash these wool trousers?
Merino wool is naturally odor-resistant and doesn't require frequent washing. Airing out the garment between uses can often suffice. Wash only when necessary, following the care instructions.
Why might the wool fleece change appearance or fray?
This is a natural characteristic of pure, unblended wool fibers. Friction from wear and washing can cause the fibers to loosen or fray slightly. This does not affect the wool's insulating or comfort properties.
What size should I choose?
The size 6-9 months is indicated. Please refer to standard baby sizing charts for detailed measurements if unsure. The ribbed ankles offer some flexibility.
Are these trousers suitable for sensitive skin?
Yes, 100% merino wool is known for its softness and hypoallergenic properties, making it ideal for babies with sensitive skin.
Troubleshooting
Trousers appear to have shrunk after washing.
Wool can be sensitive to high heat. Ensure you washed at the recommended temperature (max 30-40°C) and did not tumble dry. If shrinkage occurred, gently stretch the garment while damp and lay flat to dry.
Fuzz or small balls (pilling) on the fabric.
Pilling is a natural occurrence with merino wool, especially when new or after washing. It can be gently removed with a wool comb or fabric shaver. Continued wear will often reduce pilling.
The garment feels itchy.
High-quality merino wool is typically very soft. If itchiness occurs, ensure the garment is thoroughly rinsed after washing to remove any residual detergent. The fabric may also soften further with subsequent wears and washes.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Care Instructions:
- Washing: Wash at a maximum of 30-40°C (86-104°F) using a wool-specific detergent.
- Detergent: Use a detergent free of enzymes and bleaching agents.
- Rinsing: Rinse thoroughly.
- Drying: Lay flat to dry. Avoid tumble drying, as high heat can damage the wool fibers.
- Ironing: Do not iron.
- Pilling/Fraying: Natural wool fibers may pill or fray slightly with wear and washing. This is a characteristic of pure wool and does not diminish its insulating qualities. Gentle handling during washing can minimize this.
