FAQs
Are these leggings truly itch-free for babies?
Yes, organic merino wool is known for its fine fibers which are much softer than traditional wool, making it naturally itch-free and comfortable against sensitive baby skin.
How does merino wool regulate temperature?
Merino wool fibers have a natural crimp that traps air, creating insulation to keep the baby warm. When the baby is warm, the fibers wick moisture away from the skin and release it, helping to cool the body.
Can these leggings be worn in all seasons?
Yes, the thermoregulating and breathable properties of merino wool make them suitable for year-round wear. They provide warmth in winter and coolness in summer.
What is the best way to wash merino wool baby leggings?
Hand wash or machine wash on a gentle wool cycle at 30°C using a wool-specific detergent. Avoid bleach and fabric softener. Lay flat to dry.
How do I know if I've chosen the right size?
Refer to the size chart for approximate age and measurements. The leggings should fit snugly but comfortably, with the waistband and cuffs sitting gently without leaving marks.
Are these leggings suitable for sensitive skin or eczema?
Merino wool is a natural fiber that is breathable and moisture-wicking, which can be beneficial for babies with sensitive skin or eczema. Its softness also reduces irritation.
Can I use a regular detergent to wash these leggings?
It is highly recommended to use a detergent specifically designed for wool or a mild, pH-neutral detergent. Regular detergents can strip the natural lanolin from the wool and damage its fibers.
Troubleshooting
Leggings feel tight or uncomfortable.
Ensure the correct size has been selected. Check that the elastic waistband and cuffs are not folded over, which can create pressure points. Merino wool can stretch slightly with wear, so give it a little time to conform to the baby's body.
Wool feels stiff after washing.
This can happen if a harsh detergent was used or if the garment was over-agitated. Re-wash on a gentle wool cycle with a wool-specific detergent and ensure it is dried flat away from heat.
Pilling or bobbling on the fabric surface.
Some minor pilling is natural with merino wool, especially in the initial wears. To minimize, wash inside out and avoid abrasion with rough surfaces. You can gently remove pills with a fabric shaver if needed.

- Drying: Lay flat to dry away from direct sunlight or heat. Do not tumble dry.
