Product Information
Full details
These DILLING Merino Wool Terry Socks in Grey, size 5-6, are designed for active kids who need warm, comfortable, and breathable footwear. The key benefit is the natural temperature regulation and softness of organic merino wool, keeping little feet cozy without overheating. A minor caveat is that while durable, merino wool requires specific care to maintain its properties. These socks feature a terry knit for extra cushioning and warmth, an elasticated cuff for a secure fit, and are made from a blend of organic merino wool, polyamide, and elastane.

FAQs
Are these socks suitable for sensitive skin?
Yes, the organic merino wool is naturally soft and fine, making it gentle and non-itchy for sensitive skin.
How do I know if I've chosen the correct size?
The size 5-6 UK is indicated on the product title. Please refer to a standard children's shoe size chart to confirm this corresponds to your child's foot size. The size is also printed on the sole of the sock.
Can these socks be worn year-round?
Merino wool is excellent for temperature regulation, making it suitable for most seasons. They provide warmth in winter and are breathable enough for cooler days in spring and autumn. For very hot summer weather, lighter options might be preferred.
What does 'terry socks' mean?
Terry socks have loops on the inside (or sometimes both sides) of the fabric, creating a thicker, plusher, and more cushioned feel. This construction enhances warmth and comfort.
How many pairs are included in the pack?
This product is a 2-pack, meaning you receive two pairs of socks.
Can I machine wash these socks?
Yes, but only on a delicate or wool cycle with a mild detergent and cool water. Tumble drying is not recommended; always air dry.
What is the benefit of polyamide and elastane in the blend?
Polyamide (nylon) adds durability and helps the sock retain its shape, while elastane provides stretch and elasticity for a snug, comfortable fit that stays in place.
Troubleshooting
Socks feel loose or slide down
Ensure the correct size has been selected. Check if the elasticated cuff has lost its elasticity due to improper washing; re-wash following care instructions or consider replacing if significantly stretched.
Socks feel too warm indoors
Merino wool is highly breathable, but if they are still too warm, consider these socks for cooler weather or outdoor activities. For indoor use in warmer conditions, opt for lighter weight socks.
Socks shrunk after washing
This is often due to washing in hot water or tumble drying. Always follow the delicate wash and air-dry instructions. If minor shrinkage has occurred, try gently stretching the socks while damp.
Pilling on the surface
Some pilling is natural with wool fibers, especially during initial wears. This can be managed with a fabric shaver. To minimize pilling, wash inside out and avoid abrasion with rough surfaces.
