Product Information
Full details
These DILLING leggings are designed for children needing warm, comfortable base layers for cold weather activities. Their key benefit is the superior insulation and breathability of 100% organic merino wool, enhanced by a special knitting technique for extra warmth. A potential consideration is their close-fitting nature, which is ideal for layering but may not be preferred for standalone wear by all children.

FAQs
Are these leggings suitable for very cold weather?
Yes, these leggings are made from 100% organic merino wool with a special denser knitting technique for the pattern, making them exceptionally warm and suitable for cold winter days, including activities like skiing.
Can my child wear these directly against their skin?
Absolutely. Merino wool is known for its softness and is designed to be comfortable against sensitive skin, making it ideal as a base layer.
How do I wash my merino wool leggings?
They can be machine washed on a wool program at a maximum of 30°C using a wool-specific detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and tumble drying.
Do merino wool leggings get smelly?
Merino wool has natural antibacterial properties that help resist odors. They typically require less frequent washing than synthetic materials.
What does 'close-fitting' mean for these leggings?
Close-fitting means they are designed to be snug against the body without being restrictive. This is ideal for layering under other clothes as it prevents bulk and allows the wool's thermal properties to work efficiently.
Is this product available in other sizes or colors?
This specific product is in Red with a Nordic pattern. Similar styles are available in the DILLING Nordic pattern collection for the whole family, and other sizes for children are also offered.
Troubleshooting
Leggings feel itchy.
Ensure you are washing them correctly with a wool detergent. Organic merino wool is generally very soft, but initial wear or improper washing can sometimes cause mild irritation. Try washing them again following the care instructions.
Leggings have lost shape after washing.
Merino wool can lose its shape if subjected to high heat or aggressive washing/drying cycles. Always wash on a cold wool program and lay flat to dry. Avoid tumble drying at all costs.
Noticeable odor after wear.
Merino wool is naturally odor-resistant. If an odor persists, it may indicate that the garment needs washing. Ensure you are using the correct wool detergent and washing at the recommended temperature. Airing out the garment can also help dissipate minor odors.
Pilling on the fabric surface.
Some pilling is natural with wool products, especially with friction. This can be managed by careful washing and drying. You can gently remove small pills with a fabric shaver designed for wool or cashmere.
