FAQs

Are these leggings suitable for newborns?

These leggings are sized for children aged 3-4 years (UK size 3-4). For newborns, please check for specific DILLING merino wool items designed for infants.

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

Always use a detergent specifically formulated for wool or delicates. These detergents are pH-neutral and free from enzymes that can damage wool fibers. Avoid detergents containing bleach or fabric softeners.

Can these leggings be worn directly against the skin?

Yes, they are designed to be worn directly against the skin. The 100% organic merino wool is exceptionally soft and non-irritating for sensitive skin.

How often should I wash these leggings?

Merino wool is naturally odor-resistant and self-cleaning. You can often wear them multiple times between washes. Wash only when necessary, following the care instructions carefully to preserve the wool fibers.

What is the main benefit of merino wool for children's clothing?

The primary benefit is its natural thermoregulation and breathability, which keeps children comfortable in varying temperatures. It's also very soft and gentle on sensitive skin.

Can these leggings be worn in summer?

Yes, merino wool's breathability makes it suitable for summer wear as it helps to wick away moisture and keep the skin cool.

What does 'organic' mean in this context?

'Organic' refers to the farming practices used to produce the wool, ensuring no harmful pesticides or chemicals are used, making it better for the environment and the child's skin.

Troubleshooting

Leggings feel itchy

Ensure they are 100% merino wool and have been washed according to care instructions. Organic merino wool is typically very soft; itchiness can sometimes occur with lower-quality wools or if not washed properly.

Leggings have shrunk

Merino wool can shrink if exposed to high heat during washing or drying. Always use cold water and air dry. If shrinkage is minor, wearing them may help stretch them back to size.

Pilling or felting

Excessive friction or improper washing (too hot, too much agitation) can cause pilling. Use a gentle wool wash and cycle, and avoid rough surfaces when wearing.

Elastic waistband feels loose

Ensure the waistband is not stretched excessively during washing or drying. If it becomes permanently stretched, it may require professional repair or replacement.
