FAQs
Are these leggings suitable for sensitive skin?
Yes, these leggings are made from 100% organic merino wool, known for its fine, soft fibers that are gentle and non-irritating to delicate and sensitive baby skin.
How does merino wool keep my baby comfortable in different temperatures?
Merino wool is naturally thermoregulating. It helps keep your baby warm in cooler weather by trapping air and insulating, and it helps them stay cool in warmer weather by being breathable and wicking away moisture from the skin.
Can these leggings be worn year-round?
Yes, due to their thermoregulating and breathable properties, these leggings are suitable for year-round wear, providing comfort in both cooler and warmer seasons.
What is the best way to wash these merino wool leggings?
Machine wash on a gentle wool program at 30°C or 40°C using a wool-specific detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and do not tumble dry. Lay flat to dry.
Will the leggings stay up on their own?
Yes, they feature a practical elastic waistband and narrow elasticated leg cuffs designed to ensure they stay in place without slipping down.
What does 'close, but comfortable fit' mean?
It means the leggings are designed to fit snugly against the body without being tight or restrictive, allowing for full freedom of movement for your baby during activities.
How do I care for the leggings to prevent shrinkage?
Always use a wool wash program at a low temperature (30-40°C) and avoid high heat during washing and drying. Never tumble dry; always lay flat to air dry.
Troubleshooting
Leggings feel itchy
Ensure you have purchased 100% merino wool. DILLING uses very fine merino wool, which is generally soft. Wash the leggings once before the first wear with a wool-specific detergent. Ensure the correct size is being worn; an ill-fitting garment can sometimes cause irritation.
Leggings lost shape after washing
Merino wool garments can lose shape if washed at too high a temperature or tumble-dried. Always wash on a gentle wool cycle (max 30-40°C) and lay flat to dry. Avoid wringing the garment; gently squeeze out excess water.
Pilling on the fabric
Some pilling is natural with merino wool, especially with frequent wear and washing. This is a sign of natural fiber friction. Use a fabric comb or shaver designed for wool to gently remove pills. Proper washing and less frequent washing can help minimize pilling.

Care Instructions:
To maintain the quality and longevity of the merino wool:
- Washing: Machine wash on a wool program (usually 30°C or 40°C) with a wool-specific detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can damage the wool fibers.
- Drying: Do not tumble dry. Lay the leggings flat to dry away from direct heat or sunlight. Reshape while damp if necessary.
- Ironing: If needed, iron on a low setting while the garment is still slightly damp.
- Storage: Store folded in a cool, dry place. Avoid hanging, which can stretch the garment.
