FAQs

What makes the enzyme treatment special?

The enzyme treatment is an eco-friendly process that refines the merino wool fibers, making them exceptionally soft and smooth against the skin while preserving the natural benefits of wool like temperature regulation and breathability.

Can these leggings be worn year-round?

Yes, the natural properties of merino wool make them suitable for year-round wear. They provide warmth in cooler temperatures and are breathable enough to prevent overheating in warmer conditions.

Are these leggings itchy like regular wool?

No, the special enzyme treatment significantly reduces any potential itchiness often associated with wool. They are designed to be very soft and comfortable, especially for children with sensitive skin.

How do I know if I'm using the right detergent?

Look for detergents specifically labeled for wool or delicates. These are formulated to be gentle on wool fibers and won't strip away natural oils or damage special treatments like the enzyme finish.

What does 'irregular ribbed structure' mean for fit?

This texture provides natural stretch and flexibility, allowing the leggings to adapt to your child's movements without feeling restrictive. It also contributes to a snug yet comfortable fit.

Can I use a washing machine?

Yes, you can use a washing machine, but only on a wool or delicates cycle with cold water (max 30°C). Always use a wool-specific detergent and avoid bleach or fabric softeners.

What activities are these leggings best suited for?

They are ideal for a wide range of activities including everyday wear, playtime, sleeping, layering for outdoor sports like skiing or hiking, and general comfort in various temperatures.

Troubleshooting

Leggings feel less soft after washing

Ensure you are using a wool-specific detergent and avoiding fabric softeners. Try washing again on a delicate cycle with a suitable detergent. Air drying flat and reshaping can also help restore softness.

Wool retains odor

Merino wool is naturally odor-resistant. If odor persists, ensure you are washing thoroughly with appropriate detergent and rinsing well. Airing out the leggings in fresh air can help refresh them.

Leggings shrinking

Avoid high wash temperatures and tumble drying. Always wash on a cold or wool cycle (max 30°C) and air dry flat. If slight shrinkage has occurred, try gently stretching the garment back into shape while damp.

Lace trim snagging

Be mindful during rough play or when wearing the leggings with items that could snag. For minor snags, carefully try to unpick them with a needle. For more significant damage, the trim may need repair by a tailor.

Care Instructions:

To maintain the softness and properties of the enzyme-treated merino wool, follow these care guidelines:

  1. Washing: Machine wash on a wool or delicates cycle at a maximum of 30°C (86°F). Use a wool-specific detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners or bleach, as these can damage the wool fibers and the enzyme treatment.
  2. Drying: Do not tumble dry. Lay the leggings flat to air dry, away from direct heat or sunlight. Reshape the garment while damp if necessary.
  3. Ironing: If needed, iron on a low setting (wool program) while the garment is still slightly damp. Avoid ironing the lace trim directly.
  4. Frequency: Wash only when necessary to preserve the wool's natural properties and the enzyme treatment. Airing the garment out can often be sufficient between washes.
