FAQs
Are these leggings truly itch-free?
Yes, DILLING uses exceptionally fine organic merino wool fibers, which are known for being soft and non-itchy, even for very sensitive skin.
Can these leggings be worn in all seasons?
Absolutely. Merino wool's natural thermoregulating properties make it suitable for year-round wear, keeping babies warm in winter and cool in summer.
How do I wash merino wool leggings?
Machine wash on a gentle wool cycle at 30°C with a wool-specific detergent. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners. Lay flat to dry.
What does 'thermoregulating' mean for my baby?
Thermoregulating means the fabric helps your baby's body maintain a stable, comfortable temperature. It helps keep them warm when it's cold and cool them down when it's warm.
Why should I avoid fabric softener with merino wool?
Fabric softeners can coat the merino wool fibers, reducing their natural properties like breathability and moisture-wicking, and can also damage the fibers over time.
What is the size range for these leggings?
These leggings are available in a size range suitable for infants aged 6-18 months (UK sizing).
Can these leggings be used for sensitive skin conditions like eczema?
Merino wool is often recommended for sensitive skin due to its softness and breathability, which can help reduce irritation. However, always consult with a healthcare professional for specific skin concerns.
Troubleshooting
Leggings feel itchy.
While merino wool is known for being itch-free, ensure the garment is washed according to care instructions before the first wear. If itchiness persists, try a different detergent designed for sensitive skin.
Elastic waistband or cuffs feel loose.
Ensure the leggings are washed and dried according to instructions. Avoid excessive heat during drying, which can degrade elastic. If the issue persists after proper care, the elastic may have reached the end of its lifespan.
Fabric appears to have lost its shape.
Merino wool is naturally resilient. Gently reshape the leggings while damp and lay them flat to dry. Avoid stretching or wringing them out aggressively.
