FAQs
Are these tights suitable for sensitive skin?
Yes, organic merino wool is known for its softness and is generally well-tolerated by sensitive skin. The fine fibers minimize itching compared to coarser wools.
How many times can my child wear these before washing?
Due to merino wool's natural odor-resistant properties, children can often wear these tights multiple times between washes, depending on activity levels and environmental conditions.
Can these be worn as standalone pants?
These are designed as tights or leggings, intended to be worn as a base layer or under clothing. They are not typically worn as standalone outerwear pants.
What is the benefit of the polyamide and elastane blend?
The polyamide adds durability and helps the tights maintain their shape, while the elastane provides stretch for comfort and freedom of movement.
Why do they need special washing?
Special wool care prevents the merino fibers from felting, shrinking, or losing their natural elasticity and softness. Harsh detergents and high heat can damage the wool.
Are these waterproof?
No, these tights are not waterproof. They are designed for warmth, breathability, and moisture-wicking, not for protection against heavy rain or snow.
Troubleshooting
Tights feel itchy
Ensure you are washing according to care instructions. High-quality merino wool should be soft; if itchiness persists, it might be a sensitivity to wool or an issue with the specific garment batch.
Tights have lost elasticity
This can happen with improper washing or drying. Avoid high heat and harsh detergents. Gentle wool wash and air drying will help preserve elasticity.
Shrinking after washing
Merino wool can shrink if exposed to high heat or agitation. Always use a cold, gentle wool cycle and avoid tumble drying. Reshape the tights while damp if slight shrinkage occurs.
Odor returning quickly
While naturally odor-resistant, excessive sweat or bacterial buildup can overcome this. Ensure the garment is fully dry after washing and avoid storing damp items.
