Extended Product Information
FAQs
Are these tights suitable for sensitive skin?
Yes, the high percentage of organic merino wool is known for its softness and breathability, making it comfortable for sensitive skin. The natural fibers help prevent irritation.
How do I know if I should wash the tights?
Merino wool is naturally odor-resistant and moisture-wicking. You can often wear them multiple times before washing. Wash when they appear visibly soiled or if an odor is noticeable after extended use.
Can these be worn as outerwear?
While they are durable, they are primarily designed as a comfortable base layer or for indoor wear. For heavy outdoor activities like skiing, they are best worn under other protective layers.
What does the DILLING logo on the sole mean?
The logo and size marking on the sole are a subtle way to identify the brand and the correct size of the garment without affecting comfort or appearance when worn.
How does merino wool regulate temperature?
Merino wool fibers have a unique structure that traps air, providing insulation in cold weather. When it's warm, the fibers wick moisture away from the skin, and the natural breathability helps with cooling.
What is the difference between these and regular wool tights?
These are made from organic merino wool, which is finer and softer than traditional wool, making it less itchy. They also include a small percentage of polyamide and elastane for added durability and stretch, improving their performance for active children.
What size should I order for my child?
The sizing is listed as 'Size 10' in UK children's sizing. Please refer to the DILLING size chart for specific measurements to ensure the best fit for your child.
Troubleshooting
Tights feel itchy or uncomfortable
Ensure you are using a wool-specific detergent and have rinsed thoroughly. Some initial wear may be needed for the fibers to soften completely against the skin. Check that the size is correct and not too tight.
Tights have lost elasticity
Avoid high heat during washing and drying, as this can damage the elastane blend. Follow the recommended gentle wash and air dry instructions strictly.
Odor persists after washing
Ensure the garment is fully dry before storing. For persistent odors, try an extra rinse cycle or a specialized wool refresher. Check that you are using an appropriate wool detergent.
Shrinkage after washing
Shrinkage typically occurs due to excessive heat or agitation during washing or drying. Always use a cold or low-temperature wash and lay flat to dry. Check the care label for precise instructions.

Care Instructions:
To ensure the longevity and performance of the merino wool, follow these care guidelines:
- Washing: Machine wash on a gentle or wool cycle at a maximum of 30°C (86°F). Use a wool-specific detergent. Avoid fabric softeners.
- Drying: Do not tumble dry. Lay flat to air dry away from direct heat or sunlight. Reshape while damp.
- Ironing: If necessary, iron on a low setting.
- Bleaching: Do not bleach.
- Frequency: While merino wool is odor-resistant, wash when necessary. Over-washing can reduce the lifespan of the fibers.
