FAQs
Are these tights suitable for very cold weather?
Yes, merino wool is excellent for insulation and warmth, making these tights suitable for cold weather. For extreme cold, they can be layered under other garments.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Refer to the size guide based on UK children's sizes. The tights are designed to have a flexible fit with an elasticated waistband for comfort.
Can these tights be worn year-round?
Yes, merino wool is breathable and temperature-regulating, making it comfortable for year-round wear. It provides warmth in winter and helps wick moisture in warmer conditions.
How often should I wash these tights?
Merino wool is naturally odor-resistant, so you don't need to wash them after every wear. Airing them out can often refresh them. Wash when they appear visibly dirty or lose their freshness.
What does 'organic merino wool' mean?
It means the wool comes from merino sheep raised on farms that adhere to organic farming principles, meaning no harmful pesticides or chemicals are used in the farming process.
Will the geometric pattern fade?
With proper care (gentle washing, avoiding harsh detergents), the geometric pattern should remain vibrant. Pilling might slightly affect the appearance over time, but this is normal for wool.
Troubleshooting
Tights feel scratchy after washing.
Ensure you are using a wool-specific detergent and a gentle wash cycle. Avoid high heat when drying and never use fabric softener. Re-washing with a wool detergent may help soften the fibers.
Tights have lost their shape.
Merino wool should be laid flat to dry. If they have stretched, try gently reshaping them while damp and allowing them to air dry. Avoid stretching them excessively during wear.
Pilling on the surface.
Pilling is a natural occurrence with wool fibers due to friction. Gently remove pills with a fabric shaver or comb designed for wool. This does not affect the performance of the tights.
