Full details
These DILLING baby leggings are for parents seeking warm, comfortable, and stylish base layers for infants, particularly during colder months. Their key benefit is the exceptional warmth and softness of 100% organic merino wool, enhanced by a special knitting technique for a denser, cozier fabric. A potential caveat is that merino wool requires specific care to maintain its quality.

FAQs
Are these leggings suitable for sensitive skin?
Yes, 100% organic merino wool is naturally hypoallergenic and very soft, making it an excellent choice for babies with sensitive skin.
How warm are these leggings compared to cotton?
Merino wool is significantly warmer than cotton, especially when wet, and offers better temperature regulation, keeping your baby cozy without overheating.
Can these leggings be worn year-round?
While excellent for cold weather, merino wool's temperature-regulating properties make them comfortable for year-round wear. They help keep babies warm in winter and prevent overheating in cooler summer evenings or air-conditioned environments.
What does the 'Geometric' pattern refer to?
The 'Geometric' pattern refers to the specific Nordic-inspired design on the leggings, featuring clean lines and shapes characteristic of geometric art.
How do I know what size to order?
The sizes are indicated by UK baby sizes (e.g., 12-18 months). Refer to standard baby clothing size charts for accurate measurements, or choose based on your baby's current age and weight.
Can I use regular laundry detergent?
It is highly recommended to use a detergent specifically designed for wool or delicates. Regular detergents can be too harsh and strip the natural lanolin from the wool, reducing its softness and longevity.
Will these leggings hold their shape after washing?
Yes, with proper care (gentle wool cycle, cold water, lay flat to dry), merino wool garments are known to retain their shape well over time due to the natural elasticity of the fibers.
Troubleshooting
Leggings feel itchy
Ensure you are using 100% merino wool. High-quality merino wool is naturally soft; itchiness might indicate a blend or a different fiber type. Proper washing with wool detergent can also help soften the fibers.
Leggings have shrunk after washing
This usually happens due to washing at too high a temperature or tumble drying. Always wash merino wool on a cold, gentle cycle (max 30°C) and lay flat to air dry. Avoid the dryer entirely.
Garment loses shape
Merino wool is elastic, but prolonged stretching or improper drying can affect shape. Always lay flat to dry and avoid hanging wet garments, which can cause stretching due to weight.
