Full details
These DILLING leggings are designed for children who need comfortable, soft, and durable base layer clothing. The key benefit is the organic wool and silk blend, offering exceptional softness and temperature regulation for sensitive skin. A minor consideration is that, like fine wool blends, they require specific care to maintain their quality. These leggings feature a snug, non-restrictive fit, a practical elastic waistband, and narrow cuffs to prevent slipping, making them ideal for active kids.

FAQs
Are these leggings suitable for very sensitive skin?
Yes, the blend of organic wool and silk is specifically chosen for its ultra-soft, fine fibers, making it ideal for children with delicate or sensitive skin.
Can these leggings be worn in warm weather?
While excellent for regulating temperature, they are a wool blend. They offer breathability that can make them comfortable in milder warm weather as a base layer, but they are primarily designed for cooler conditions.
How do I wash these leggings to ensure they last?
We recommend hand washing or using a gentle wool cycle on your washing machine at 30°C with a wool-specific detergent. Avoid bleach and fabric softener, and lay flat to dry.
What is the main difference between these and regular leggings?
These leggings are made from a natural blend of merino wool and silk, providing superior temperature regulation, softness, and breathability compared to typical synthetic or cotton leggings.
Do the cuffs really stay up?
Yes, the leggings feature narrow elasticated cuffs designed to sit snugly and prevent them from slipping down during movement.
What age group are these leggings intended for?
These leggings are designed for children, with various sizes available to fit different age groups.
Troubleshooting
Leggings feel too tight or restrictive
Ensure the correct size has been selected. The snug fit is intentional for a base layer, but if it's uncomfortable, consider sizing up. The material will also relax slightly with wear.
Leggings are slipping down
Check that the elastic waistband is functioning correctly. Ensure the size is appropriate; if too large, they may slip. The narrow cuffs are designed to prevent this, so ensure they are not stretched out.
Wool/silk blend feels itchy
This blend is designed for exceptional softness. If irritation occurs, ensure the garment is washed according to care instructions before first wear, as this can soften the fibers further. Advise the child that the material is very fine and designed for comfort.
Pilling observed on the fabric
Some pilling can occur with natural fibers like wool over time due to friction. This is normal and does not affect the garment's thermal properties. Gentle washing and avoiding excessive rubbing can minimize pilling.
