FAQs
Are these tights suitable for newborns?
This specific size is listed as 1-2 (UK). Please refer to the sizing chart for specific measurements, but DILLING generally offers smaller sizes suitable for newborns if available in other listings.
How do merino wool tights help regulate temperature?
Merino wool fibers have a unique structure that can trap air for insulation when it's cold and wick moisture away from the skin when it's warm, creating a microclimate that helps maintain a comfortable body temperature.
Can I use regular detergent?
It is strongly recommended to use a detergent specifically designed for wool. Regular detergents can be too harsh and strip the natural lanolin from the wool, affecting its softness and performance.
How often should I wash these tights?
Merino wool is naturally odor-resistant and doesn't require frequent washing. Airing them out between wears can often be sufficient. Wash only when visibly soiled or after prolonged use.
Will these tights fit over a cloth diaper?
Yes, the design incorporates a flexible fit intended to accommodate diapers, including cloth diapers, comfortably.
What is the difference between this and regular wool?
Organic merino wool is much finer and softer than traditional wool, making it non-itchy and ideal for direct skin contact. It also possesses superior moisture-wicking and temperature-regulating properties.
Can these be worn in very cold weather?
Yes, merino wool provides excellent insulation and warmth. For extreme cold, they can be worn as a base layer under additional clothing.
Troubleshooting
Tights seem to have lost elasticity.
Ensure you are washing according to care instructions, using a wool-specific detergent and avoiding high heat. Excessive heat can degrade elastane.
Baby experiences mild irritation.
While rare, ensure the garment is properly rinsed after washing. Verify that the size is correct and not too tight. Consult a pediatrician if irritation persists.
Fabric feels rough after washing.
Use a high-quality wool detergent and avoid harsh chemicals or fabric softeners. Try washing again with a specific wool rinse aid.
Snags or pulls in the fabric.
Carefully trim any snags with small scissors. Avoid washing with items that have zippers or Velcro that could catch the wool.

Care Instructions:
To maintain the quality and longevity of the merino wool:
- Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle at a maximum of 30°C (86°F) using a wool-specific detergent. Alternatively, hand wash in lukewarm water.

- Ironing: If necessary, iron on a low setting.
- Avoid: Do not use bleach or fabric softeners, as these can damage the wool fibers.
