FAQs
Are these leggings suitable for sensitive skin?
Yes, 100% organic merino wool is known for its softness and breathability, making it an excellent choice for babies with sensitive skin.
How do I know what size to get?
Refer to the size guide provided by the manufacturer. For this specific product, the UK sizes range from 6-18 months. It's often recommended to size up if your child is between sizes or for longer wear.
Can I machine wash these leggings?
Yes, you can machine wash them on a wool or delicate cycle at a maximum of 30°C using a wool-specific detergent. Avoid fabric softener and tumble drying.
Will my baby overheat in these leggings?
No, merino wool is naturally temperature-regulating. It keeps the body warm in cold conditions and helps to cool it down in warmer conditions by wicking away moisture and allowing the skin to breathe.
How often should I wash merino wool leggings?
Merino wool is naturally odor-resistant and self-cleaning. You don't need to wash them after every use. Airing them out between wears can often suffice, extending the time between washes and preserving the wool's natural properties.
What does 'organic merino wool' mean?
It means the wool comes from merino sheep raised under organic farming standards, free from harmful pesticides and chemicals, ensuring a purer and more environmentally friendly product.
Can these leggings be worn year-round?
Yes, the temperature-regulating properties of merino wool make these leggings suitable for wear throughout the year, providing warmth in winter and breathability in summer.
Troubleshooting
Leggings feel stiff after washing.
This can happen with merino wool. Re-shape the garment while damp and lay flat to dry. Avoid harsh detergents or high washing temperatures.
Pilling or small balls forming on the fabric.
Some pilling is natural with wool, especially in areas of friction. Gently remove pills with a wool comb or de-piller. Avoid excessive rubbing during washing.
Leggings lost shape after drying.
Merino wool is sensitive to heat. Ensure you are laying the garment flat to dry and avoiding tumble dryers or high heat. Gently reshape while damp.
Skin irritation.
While merino wool is generally non-itchy, ensure you are using a wool-specific, mild detergent and that the garment is properly rinsed. Check for any potential sensitivities to natural fibers.
