FAQs
What makes this blend better than pure merino wool?
The addition of silk enhances the softness and luxurious feel of the fabric, making it even more comfortable against the skin. Silk also adds a subtle sheen and can improve durability.
Are these suitable for very cold weather?
Yes, the combination of merino wool and silk provides excellent insulation and warmth, making them highly suitable for cold weather as a base layer.
Can I wear these directly against my skin?
Absolutely. The blend is designed to be exceptionally soft and breathable, making it ideal for direct skin contact.
How often should I wash these leggings?
Merino wool is naturally odor-resistant. You can often wear them multiple times between washes. Wash only when necessary to preserve the fibers.
What is the difference between this and other DILLING leggings?
This specific model features a unique blend of 70% organic merino wool and 30% silk, along with lace trim. Other DILLING leggings may use different material compositions or have different design features.
Do these leggings shrink?
If washed and dried according to the instructions (cold water, air dry), significant shrinkage should be avoided. Avoid hot water and tumble drying, as these can cause shrinkage.
What does 'organic' merino wool mean?
Organic merino wool is sourced from sheep raised under strict organic farming standards, ensuring ethical treatment and environmentally friendly land management practices.
Troubleshooting
Leggings feel itchy
Ensure you are washing with a wool-specific detergent and have rinsed thoroughly. High-quality merino wool should be naturally soft, but initial wear or improper washing can sometimes cause minor irritation.
Fabric pilling
Some minor pilling can occur with natural fibers. Hand wash gently and avoid vigorous rubbing. Pilling can be carefully removed with a fabric comb or shaver if necessary.
Elastic waistband feels too tight or loose
The elastic waistband is designed for a snug fit. If it feels too tight after washing, try gently stretching it while damp. If consistently too loose, it may indicate the size is not correct for your body shape.
Lace trim snagged or damaged
Handle with care during washing and wear. If a snag occurs, try to gently smooth it out. Minor damage to lace may be repairable by hand.

Compatibility: Designed as women's base layers, they pair well with skirts, dresses, tunics, or can be worn on their own. They are suitable for adult women.
Care Instructions: To preserve the quality and softness of the merino wool and silk blend, follow these care guidelines:

- Detergent: Use a wool-specific detergent or a mild, pH-neutral soap. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners.

- Storage: Store folded in a cool, dry place. Avoid hanging, which can stretch the fabric.
