Product Information
Full details
These DILLING baby merino wool fleece trousers are designed for infants seeking ultimate comfort and warmth, acting as a soft homewear option or a cozy mid-layer for outdoor adventures. Their key benefit lies in the natural breathability and insulating properties of 100% merino wool. A potential consideration is that natural wool fibers may change appearance and fray over time with wear and washing, though this does not impact their functional performance.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
Are these trousers suitable for newborns?
This specific size is for infants aged 6-18 months. DILLING offers other sizes, including those suitable for newborns (0-6 months).
How do I know if the size is correct?
The size is indicated as UK size 6-18 months. Refer to a standard baby size chart if unsure, or consult the product sizing guide on the DILLING website.
Can these trousers be worn in very cold weather?
Yes, they provide excellent warmth as a mid-layer. For extreme cold, consider layering them under a thermal base layer and an outer waterproof/windproof suit.
Why does the wool's appearance change?
The change in appearance and potential fraying are due to the natural fibers of unblended merino wool interacting with wear and washing. This is a sign of a natural product and does not compromise its warmth or comfort.
How often should I wash these trousers?
Merino wool is naturally odor-resistant and antibacterial. Washing only when necessary (e.g., visible dirt or odor) helps preserve the wool's fibers and lifespan. Airing them out between wears can often suffice.
Can I machine wash these trousers?
Yes, but only on a delicate wool cycle at a maximum of 30°C and using a specialized wool detergent. Avoid tumble drying.
Troubleshooting
Trousers appear to be pilling or fraying.
This is a natural characteristic of 100% merino wool and does not affect the insulating properties. Gentle washing and occasional wool care can help manage the appearance.
Wool feels stiff after washing.
Ensure you are using a wool-specific detergent and avoiding fabric softener. Laying flat to dry away from direct heat will help maintain softness.
Elasticated ankle cuffs lose elasticity.
Avoid high-temperature washing and tumble drying, as heat can degrade elastic fibers. Follow the recommended care instructions carefully.
