Product Information
Full details
These DILLING merino wool fleece trousers are designed for children seeking ultimate comfort and warmth, serving as excellent homewear or a mid-layer for outdoor activities. Their key benefit is the exceptionally soft, brushed merino wool that provides natural temperature regulation. A minor caveat is that the natural wool material may change appearance and fray over time due to wear and washing, though this does not impact its insulating properties.

FAQs
Are these trousers suitable for very cold weather?
Yes, these trousers are excellent as a warm mid-layer in cold weather, providing insulation without bulk. For extreme cold, they can be layered under additional outerwear.
How often should I wash these wool trousers?
Merino wool is naturally odor-resistant and self-cleaning. Washing is often only necessary when visibly soiled. Airing them out between wears can extend the time between washes.
Can these trousers be worn directly against the skin?
Yes, merino wool is very soft and designed to be comfortable against the skin, making it ideal for base layers or loungewear.
What does 'unblended, natural material' mean for the product?
It means the trousers are made purely from merino wool, without synthetic fibers mixed in. This ensures all the natural benefits of wool, like breathability and temperature regulation, are maximized. It also means the material may behave differently than blends, such as showing slight fraying.
Will the pink color fade?
Color fastness depends on various factors including washing frequency and detergent used. Following the care instructions, especially regarding washing temperatures and avoiding harsh chemicals, will help maintain the color.
What size should I choose for my child?
The sizing is based on children's UK sizes. It's recommended to check the specific size chart provided by DILLING, considering the child's measurements for the best fit. The size provided (7-8) corresponds to UK size 7-8 years.
How does merino wool compare to regular wool?
Merino wool fibers are much finer than those of traditional wool, making them significantly softer and less likely to cause itching. It also offers superior breathability and moisture-wicking properties.
Troubleshooting
Trousers feel scratchy or irritating
Ensure you are using a wool-specific detergent. Wash the trousers according to care instructions. Merino wool is generally soft, but initial washes can sometimes improve texture.
Trousers appear to have shrunk after washing
Avoid high temperatures during washing and do not tumble dry. Lay flat to dry. If shrinkage has occurred, try gently stretching the fabric while damp.
Fraying observed on the surface
This is a normal characteristic of natural, unblended wool. It does not impact the insulating properties. Continue to follow care instructions.
Elasticated cuffs losing stretch
Ensure the trousers are not exposed to excessive heat during washing or drying, as this can degrade elastic. Gently reshape the cuffs while damp.
