FAQs
Are these tights suitable for very cold weather?
Yes, the merino wool provides excellent insulation and warmth, making them suitable for cold weather. For extreme cold, they can also serve as a great base layer.
Can my child wear these tights all day?
Absolutely. The natural breathability of merino wool helps regulate temperature, and the soft fibres are comfortable for prolonged wear.
How do I know if I've chosen the correct size?
This listing is for size 7-8 years (UK). Please refer to standard children's sizing charts if unsure, but these tights are designed for a comfortable, flexible fit.
Will the merino wool feel itchy?
DILLING uses high-quality, fine merino wool that is known for its softness and is generally non-itchy, even for sensitive skin.
Can these tights be worn by boys and girls?
Yes, these are unisex tights designed for children and are suitable for any gender.
What is the advantage of the polyamide and elastane blend?
The polyamide adds durability and strength to the tights, while the elastane provides stretch and elasticity, ensuring a comfortable fit that moves with the child and maintains its shape.
How often should I wash these tights?
Wash as needed. Merino wool is naturally odour-resistant, so they can often be worn multiple times between washes. Follow the care instructions for best results.
Troubleshooting
Tights feel less soft after washing
Ensure you are using a wool-specific detergent and have avoided high heat during washing or drying. Reshape while damp.
Elasticated waistband feels loose
This is unlikely with new tights. If the issue persists after wear, check care instructions; excessive heat can degrade elastic.
Pilling occurs on the surface
Pilling is natural with wool fibres, especially with friction. Gentle washing and minimal agitation can reduce this. Consider a fabric shaver for minor pilling.
