FAQs

Are these leggings suitable for very cold weather?

Yes, the natural insulating properties of merino wool make these leggings excellent for cold weather. They can be worn as a base layer under warmer outerwear for added warmth without bulk.

How often should I wash these merino wool leggings?

Merino wool is naturally odor-resistant and can be worn multiple times between washes. Airing the leggings out after each wear can help refresh them. Wash only when necessary, following the care instructions.

Can I wear these leggings for intense workouts?

These leggings are breathable and moisture-wicking, making them suitable for moderate activity. For high-intensity workouts where maximum flexibility and compression might be desired, consider specialized activewear, but they are excellent for hiking, yoga, or general fitness.

What is the difference between merino wool and regular wool?

Merino wool fibers are much finer and softer than those of regular wool, making them less itchy and more comfortable against the skin. They also offer superior breathability and temperature regulation.

How do I ensure I've chosen the right size?

Refer to the DILLING sizing chart and consider your measurements. These leggings are designed for a comfortable, close fit. The elastic waistband should be snug but not restrictive.

Can these leggings be worn by men?

These specific leggings are designed with women's sizing and fit in mind. DILLING may offer different styles suitable for men.

Troubleshooting

Leggings feel itchy or rough.

Ensure you are washing with a wool-specific detergent and have not used fabric softener, which can affect the wool's natural softness. If the issue persists, the leggings may need further washing cycles with appropriate detergent.

Leggings have lost their shape.

Merino wool can stretch if dried incorrectly. Lay the leggings flat to dry immediately after washing and gently reshape them while damp. Avoid wringing or stretching.

Pilling (small balls of fiber) has appeared.

Pilling is a natural characteristic of knitted garments, especially merino wool. It can be minimized by gentle washing and can be carefully removed with a fabric shaver or by hand.

Elastic waistband feels too tight or too loose.

The elastic is designed for a snug fit. If too tight, ensure correct washing and drying. If too loose over time, the fabric may have stretched; try reshaping while damp or consider if a different size would be more suitable.

Pros and Cons

Cons

  • Requires specific care to maintain the wool's integrity and longevity.

Care Instructions:

  • Washing: Machine wash on a cold setting (max 30°C or 86°F) using a wool-specific or mild detergent. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners.
  • Drying: Lay flat to dry to maintain the shape and integrity of the merino wool. Do not tumble dry.
  • Ironing: If necessary, iron on a low heat setting. It is generally recommended to avoid ironing if possible.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Folding is preferable to hanging to prevent stretching.
