Full details
These DILLING baby leggings are designed for infants and toddlers seeking natural, comfortable base layers. Their key benefit is the 100% organic merino wool, which naturally regulates temperature and allows the skin to breathe, keeping your child warm and dry. A potential caveat is that merino wool requires specific care to maintain its properties. These leggings feature a subtle, slim rib, cute frilled edges, and excellent flexibility for active little ones.

FAQs
What makes merino wool suitable for babies?
Merino wool is naturally soft, hypoallergenic, and temperature-regulating. It keeps babies warm without overheating and is breathable, helping to keep their skin dry and comfortable, which is ideal for sensitive baby skin.
Can these leggings be worn all year round?
Yes, merino wool's temperature-regulating properties make it suitable for year-round wear. It provides warmth in cooler temperatures and helps keep the child cool in warmer conditions by wicking away moisture.
How do I wash merino wool leggings?
Machine wash on a wool cycle at a maximum of 30°C with a wool-specific detergent. Avoid regular detergents, fabric softeners, and tumble drying. Lay flat to dry.
Are these leggings true to size?
Generally, DILLING garments are designed for a comfortable fit. It is recommended to check the specific size guide provided by DILLING for accurate measurements, considering your child's current measurements and desired fit.
Will merino wool keep my baby warm in very cold weather?
Merino wool provides excellent warmth due to its natural insulating properties. For very cold conditions, these leggings serve as a fantastic base layer, and you would typically layer additional clothing and outerwear over them for maximum warmth.
Can I use a regular washing machine for these leggings?
Yes, you can use a regular washing machine, but only on the dedicated 'wool' or 'delicates' cycle with a cold temperature setting (max 30°C) and a wool-specific detergent. Avoid high spin speeds.
What is the benefit of the rib knit and frilled edges?
The subtle rib knit provides texture and flexibility, allowing the leggings to stretch and move with the child. The frilled edges are a decorative detail that adds a cute aesthetic to the garment.
Troubleshooting
Leggings feel itchy or rough.
Ensure you have used a wool-specific detergent and the correct wool wash cycle. Merino wool is naturally soft, so itchiness might indicate improper washing or residual detergent.
Leggings have lost their shape or shrunk.
This usually happens due to washing at too high a temperature or tumble drying. Check the care label and ensure future washes adhere strictly to the 30°C wool cycle. Reshape while damp and lay flat to dry.
Pilling on the fabric.
Some pilling is natural with merino wool, especially in areas of friction. You can gently remove pills with a fabric shaver designed for wool or simply leave them as they are; they do not affect the performance of the garment.
Leggings feel damp after wear.
While merino wool wicks moisture, excessive sweat or humidity can make them feel damp. Ensure the child is not overdressed and allow for air circulation. The material should still feel comfortable and not clammy.

Care Instructions:
- Washing: Machine wash on a wool cycle at a maximum of 30°C (86°F) using a wool-specific detergent. Avoid using regular detergents or fabric softeners, as they can damage the merino fibers.
- Drying: Lay flat to dry. Avoid tumble drying, as high heat can shrink or damage the wool. Do not wring out the leggings; gently press out excess water.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Fold rather than hang to prevent stretching.
- Ironing: If necessary, iron on a low setting, preferably while the garment is slightly damp.
