FAQs

Are these leggings suitable for very cold weather?

Yes, merino wool provides excellent insulation and warmth, making these leggings a great choice for cold weather as a base layer.

Can my child wear these during summer?

While primarily for warmth, merino wool is breathable and moisture-wicking, so they can be comfortable during cooler summer evenings or in air-conditioned environments. For very hot weather, lighter materials might be preferable.

How do I choose the correct size?

Refer to the sizing chart provided by DILLING. The product description indicates this is for children, and sizes like '98/104' refer to height ranges (e.g., 98-104 cm).

Is merino wool itchy for children?

High-quality merino wool, like that used by DILLING, is generally very fine and soft, making it comfortable even for children with sensitive skin. It's much less itchy than traditional wool.

How do I wash these leggings to ensure longevity?

Machine wash on a gentle cycle at 30-40°C with a wool-specific detergent. Air dry flat. Avoid tumble dryers and harsh chemicals.

What does 'fine ribbed knit' mean?

This refers to the texture of the fabric, which has vertical ribs and is knitted from fine merino wool threads. This knit structure contributes to the fabric's stretchiness and warmth.

Can these leggings be worn by boys and girls?

Yes, the design is unisex, featuring a comfortable fit and simple styling suitable for all children.

Troubleshooting

Leggings feel itchy

Ensure the leggings are 100% merino wool. If they are, a wash with a wool-specific detergent may soften them further. Itchiness can sometimes occur with new wool before it's been washed.

Loss of shape after washing

Always wash on a gentle cycle at low temperatures and air dry flat. Avoid machine drying and excessive wringing.

Pilling on the fabric

Some pilling is natural with merino wool over time. You can gently remove pills with a fabric shaver if desired. Frequent washing can sometimes accelerate this.

Care Instructions:

  • Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle at 30-40°C (86-104°F) using a detergent specifically designed for wool or delicates. Avoid harsh detergents or bleach.
  • Drying: It is best to air dry the leggings. Lay them flat on a drying rack to maintain their shape. Avoid tumble drying, as high heat can damage merino wool fibers.
  • Ironing: If necessary, iron on a low heat setting. It is generally recommended to avoid ironing if possible.
  • Storage: Store in a clean, dry place. Folding is preferable to hanging to prevent stretching.
