FAQs
Are these leggings suitable for newborns?
While the material is very soft, these leggings are sized for infants and toddlers. Please check the specific size guide for newborn options, though this particular model is recommended for babies from 9-12 months and up.
Can these leggings be worn year-round?
Yes, the temperature-regulating properties of merino wool make them suitable for year-round wear. They provide warmth in winter and breathability in summer, acting as an ideal base layer.
How do I know if I'm using the right detergent?
Look for detergents specifically formulated for wool or delicates. These are typically pH-neutral and free from enzymes and bleach that can damage natural fibers like merino wool and silk.
What is the benefit of the silk blend?
The silk blend enhances the softness and smoothness of the fabric, making it even more comfortable against delicate skin. It also adds a subtle sheen and improves the fabric's drape and durability.
Are these leggings machine washable?
Yes, they can be machine washed on a delicate or wool cycle with a wool-specific detergent and cool water. However, hand washing is generally recommended to prolong the garment's life and maintain its properties.
What does 'close, but comfortable fit' mean?
It means the leggings are designed to fit snugly against the body without being tight or restrictive. This close fit helps maximize the thermal and moisture-wicking benefits of the merino wool and ensures the garment stays in place for optimal comfort and movement.
How should I store these leggings?
Store them folded in a drawer or on a shelf. Avoid hanging them for long periods, as this can stretch the fabric, especially the waistband. Ensure they are completely dry before storing.
Troubleshooting
Leggings feel slightly itchy
Ensure the leggings are properly rinsed after washing to remove any detergent residue. For extremely sensitive skin, a very light rinse after initial wear might help. The blend is designed for softness, but individual sensitivities can vary.
Reduced elasticity in waistband after washing
Avoid high temperatures during washing and drying. Always use cool water and lay flat to dry. High heat can degrade the elastic components over time.
Pilling or fuzziness on the fabric surface
This is a natural characteristic of fine merino wool fibers and does not affect the performance. To minimize pilling, wash inside out and avoid friction with rough surfaces.
Leggings appear to have shrunk
This is usually a result of excessive heat during washing or drying. Always follow the care instructions carefully, especially regarding water temperature and drying methods.
