FAQs
Are these leggings suitable for newborns?
This particular size is for infants 6-9 months (UK size 6-9). DILLING offers merino wool leggings in smaller sizes, including newborn and 0-3 months, which would be more appropriate for newborns.
How warm are these leggings compared to cotton?
Merino wool is significantly warmer than cotton, especially when wet. The special knitting technique used for the Nordic pattern further enhances the warmth by creating a denser fabric, making these leggings ideal for cold weather.
Can I use regular detergent to wash these leggings?
It is strongly recommended to use a detergent specifically designed for wool or delicates. Regular detergents often contain enzymes and chemicals that can damage merino wool fibers, leading to shrinkage or loss of softness.
How often should I wash merino wool leggings?
Merino wool is naturally odor-resistant and anti-bacterial, meaning it can be worn multiple times between washes. Washing only when necessary (e.g., visible soiling or odor) helps maintain the wool's natural properties and prolongs the garment's life.
Will the pattern fade after washing?
The geometric pattern is integrated into the knit. With proper care (wool wash cycle, low temperature, avoiding harsh chemicals), the pattern should maintain its color and integrity for a long time.
Are these leggings itchy?
DILLING uses high-quality, fine merino wool, which is known for its softness. Unlike coarser wools, merino wool is designed to be non-itchy and very gentle on the skin, even for babies.
Can these leggings be worn in summer?
While merino wool is excellent at regulating temperature, these particular leggings are designed with a denser knit for cold weather. For warmer months, DILLING offers lighter weight merino wool options.
Troubleshooting
Leggings feel rough or scratchy
Ensure you are using a wool-specific detergent and have followed the recommended washing temperature. Merino wool is naturally soft, so roughness may indicate improper washing or residue buildup. A gentle rinse cycle might help.
Shrinking after washing
Merino wool can shrink if exposed to high temperatures or aggressive agitation. Always use a cold or low-temperature wool wash cycle (max 30°C) and avoid tumble drying. Lay flat to dry.
Loss of elasticity
Avoid stretching the leggings excessively during washing and drying. Lay them flat to dry instead of hanging, which can cause stretching. Ensure you are not using harsh detergents or fabric softeners that degrade fibers.
Pilling (small balls of fiber)
Pilling is a natural process for wool garments, especially with friction. This can be reduced by washing inside out and minimizing friction during wear. Pilled fibers can often be gently removed by hand or with a fabric shaver.

Care Instructions: Proper care is essential to maintain the quality and longevity of merino wool.
- Washing: Machine wash on a wool program (max 30°C or 86°F) using a wool-specific detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can coat the wool fibers and reduce their natural properties.
- Drying: Do not tumble dry. Lay flat to dry away from direct heat or sunlight. Reshape the garment while damp.
- Ironing: If necessary, iron on a low setting, preferably while the garment is slightly damp.
- Storage: Store clean and dry, folded or rolled, in a breathable bag or drawer. Avoid plastic bags which can trap moisture.
