FAQs
What makes merino wool suitable for babies?
Merino wool is naturally soft, breathable, and temperature-regulating, making it ideal for sensitive baby skin. It keeps babies warm when it's cold and cool when it's warm, while wicking away moisture to prevent dampness.
How often should I wash these leggings?
Merino wool is naturally odor-resistant. You can often just air them out between wears. Wash when visibly soiled or if odor persists, following the specific wool care instructions.
Are these leggings itchy?
No, high-quality merino wool like that used by DILLING is very fine and soft, making it non-itchy and comfortable against sensitive skin.
Can I use a regular washing machine?
Yes, but only on a dedicated wool program (max 30°C/86°F) using a special wool detergent. Avoid harsh cycles or high temperatures.
What if my baby is between sizes?
For merino wool, a snug fit is generally recommended to maximize its temperature-regulating benefits. If between sizes, consider the smaller size for a closer fit, or the larger size if you anticipate significant growth.
How do the frilled edges affect comfort?
The frilled edges are a decorative detail and are made from the same soft merino wool, designed to lay flat and comfortably against the skin without causing irritation.
Can these be worn year-round?
Yes, the temperature-regulating properties of merino wool make these leggings suitable for year-round wear, adapting to different seasons and indoor/outdoor conditions.
Troubleshooting
Leggings feel stiff after washing
Ensure you are using a wool-specific detergent and have not used fabric softener. Re-wash on a gentle wool cycle if necessary, and ensure it is air-dried flat.
Baby seems too warm or too cool
Merino wool regulates temperature, but the overall comfort depends on other layers. Adjust the outer layers according to ambient temperature. Ensure the leggings are the correct size for a snug fit without being constrictive.
Stretching or loss of shape
Avoid wringing or twisting the leggings. Always lay flat to dry, never hang while wet. Ensure the size is appropriate; too small can cause undue stress on seams.
