FAQs

Are these leggings truly itch-free for children?

Yes, the leggings are made from 100% organic, itch-free merino wool, which is exceptionally soft and gentle on sensitive skin. However, individual sensitivities can vary.

How do I know if I've chosen the correct size?

Refer to the size guide provided by DILLING, typically based on age and height. For this specific product, the size is listed as UK 7-8.

Can these leggings be worn in warm weather?

Merino wool is naturally breathable and thermoregulating, meaning it can help keep you cool by wicking away moisture. While suitable for mild warmth, they are best suited for cooler to moderate temperatures or as a base layer.

How often should I wash these leggings?

Merino wool is naturally odor-resistant. You can wear them multiple times between washes, airing them out after use can help. Wash only when necessary, following the specific care instructions.

What makes merino wool different from regular wool?

Merino wool fibers are much finer and softer than traditional wool, making them less likely to cause itching. They also have excellent moisture-wicking and temperature-regulating properties.

Can these leggings be worn by both boys and girls?

Yes, the leggings are designed as unisex and are suitable for any child regardless of gender.

Troubleshooting

Leggings feel itchy

Ensure you are using a wool-specific detergent and washing on a delicate cycle. If itchiness persists, it may be due to an individual sensitivity, though merino wool is known for its non-itch properties. Check the care label for any specific instructions.

Leggings lost shape after washing

Avoid tumble drying. Always lay flat to dry and gently reshape while damp. Use only a wool-specific detergent and a delicate wash cycle.

Pilling on the fabric

Some pilling is natural with merino wool and is not a sign of poor quality. To minimize it, wash inside out and avoid harsh friction during washing and wear. You can gently remove pills with a fabric shaver designed for wool.

Color faded

Ensure you are using a color-safe wool detergent and washing in cold water. Avoid exposing the garment to direct sunlight for extended periods when drying, as this can cause fading.
