FAQs

Are these leggings suitable for very cold weather?

Yes, the merino wool and silk blend offers excellent insulation and warmth, making them suitable for cold weather when worn as a base layer or on their own.

Can I use regular detergent to wash these leggings?

No, it is strongly recommended to use a detergent specifically designed for wool or delicates to prevent damage to the natural fibers.

How often should I wash these leggings?

Merino wool is naturally odor-resistant and can be worn multiple times between washes. Wash only when necessary, following the care instructions.

What is the main benefit of the silk blend?

The silk blend enhances the softness and luxurious feel of the leggings, making them exceptionally gentle on sensitive skin and adding a subtle sheen.

Will these leggings restrict my child's movement during play?

No, the fabric is designed to be flexible and stretchy, allowing for unrestricted movement during any activity.

How do I choose the correct size?

Refer to the DILLING size guide, which typically provides measurements based on age and height. Ensure you measure your child accurately before selecting a size.

Can these leggings be worn directly against the skin?

Yes, the blend is specifically designed to be soft and non-irritating, making them ideal for wearing directly against the skin.

Troubleshooting

Leggings feel itchy or rough

Ensure you are using a wool-specific detergent and have rinsed thoroughly. New wool items can sometimes feel slightly stiff before the first wash.

Leggings have lost their shape after washing

Avoid machine drying and high heat. Gently reshape the leggings while damp and lay them flat to dry. Check your washing machine's spin cycle, using a lower setting if possible.

Pilling or fuzziness on the fabric

Pilling is a natural characteristic of fine wool fibers and can be reduced by washing inside out and using a gentler wash cycle. Minor pilling can often be carefully removed with a fabric shaver.

Elastic waistband feels too tight/loose

The elastic is designed for a snug fit. If it feels consistently too tight or loose, check the size guide against your child's measurements. For minor adjustments, consult a tailor.
