FAQs
Are these leggings suitable for very cold weather?
Yes, merino wool is an excellent insulator and provides warmth in cold conditions. They can be worn as a base layer for added warmth.
Can I wear these leggings for intense workouts?
While breathable and moisture-wicking, merino wool is best suited for light to moderate activities like yoga, walking, or hiking. For high-impact or very strenuous workouts, synthetic fabrics might offer better durability and stretch.
How often should I wash these leggings?
Merino wool is naturally odor-resistant, so you may not need to wash them after every wear. Washing only when necessary helps preserve the fibers. Airing them out between wears can refresh them.
What does 'organic' merino wool mean?
Organic merino wool comes from sheep raised under organic farming standards, which typically involve ethical animal welfare practices and avoidance of synthetic pesticides and fertilizers in pasture management.
Will these leggings shrink if I wash them?
If washed and dried according to the care instructions (gentle cycle, cold water, lay flat to dry), they should not shrink. Avoid high heat in washing or drying.
Can I wear these leggings with sensitive skin?
Merino wool is known for its fine fibers, which are generally soft and non-irritating, even for sensitive skin. However, individual sensitivities can vary.
Troubleshooting
Leggings feel itchy or rough
Ensure you are using a wool-specific detergent and that the leggings have been washed according to care instructions. Sometimes, a few wears and washes can soften the fibers further.
Leggings have lost their shape
Merino wool can stretch if hung. Ensure they are always laid flat to dry and stored folded. If significant stretching has occurred, a gentle re-shape while damp might help, followed by flat drying.
Pilling or bobbling on the fabric
Pilling is a natural occurrence with knitted fabrics, including merino wool, especially in the early stages of wear. You can gently remove pills with a fabric shaver or by carefully picking them off. Avoid excessive rubbing during wear and washing.
Reduced warmth or moisture-wicking performance
This can occur if the wool fibers are damaged or coated by harsh detergents or fabric softeners. Always use mild, wool-specific detergents and avoid fabric softeners. Ensure proper drying methods are followed.

Care Instructions: To maintain the quality and longevity of your merino wool leggings:
- Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle at a maximum of 30°C (86°F) using a wool-specific or mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can coat the wool fibers and reduce their natural properties.
- Drying: Do not tumble dry. Reshape the garment while damp and lay flat to dry away from direct sunlight or heat.
- Ironing: If necessary, iron on a low heat setting.
- Storage: Store folded in a cool, dry place. Avoid hanging, which can stretch the fabric over time.
