FAQs
Are these leggings suitable for very cold weather?
Yes, as a base layer, they provide excellent warmth. For extreme cold, layering them under additional insulating clothing is recommended.
Can these leggings be worn directly against the skin?
Absolutely. The 100% organic merino wool, especially with the plasma treatment, is designed to be extremely soft and non-irritating for sensitive skin.
How do I determine the correct size?
Refer to the size chart provided by DILLING, which typically correlates sizes with children's age or height. The product listing includes sibling variants with specific age/size indications.
Why is merino wool better than regular wool?
Merino wool fibers are finer and softer than those of traditional wool, making them less likely to cause itching. They also offer superior breathability and moisture-wicking properties.
Can I machine wash these leggings?
Yes, but only on a cold, gentle cycle (max 30°C) using a wool-specific detergent. Avoid harsh cycles, high temperatures, and tumble drying.
What does 'pointelle' pattern mean?
Pointelle refers to a type of knitting technique that creates a delicate, often decorative, openwork pattern, adding a subtle visual texture to the fabric.
Are these leggings eco-friendly?
The leggings are made from 100% organic merino wool and utilize an environmentally friendly plasma treatment. DILLING is committed to sustainable practices.
Troubleshooting
Leggings feel itchy
Ensure you are using a wool-specific detergent and have rinsed thoroughly. The plasma treatment should make the merino wool exceptionally soft; re-washing according to care instructions might help if residue is the cause.
Leggings have shrunk
This is often due to washing in hot water or tumble drying. Avoid these methods and always follow the cold, gentle wash and flat dry instructions. If minor shrinkage has occurred, gentle stretching while damp might help.
Pointelle pattern looks stretched or distorted
Handle gently during washing and avoid wringing. Lay flat to dry and avoid hanging, which can stretch the knit. Reshape the garment while damp if needed.
