Product Information
Full details
This DILLING Baby Merino Wool Fleece Suit is designed for infants and toddlers aged 6-18 months, offering exceptional warmth and comfort for active little ones. Its key benefit is the soft, natural merino wool fleece that keeps babies cozy in car seats or during outdoor naps, with versatile fold-over feet and mittens for adjustable warmth. A potential consideration is that the natural wool material may change appearance and fray over time with wear and washing, which is a characteristic of pure wool and does not affect its insulating properties.

FAQs
What makes merino wool good for babies?
Merino wool is naturally soft, breathable, temperature-regulating (keeping babies warm when it's cold and cool when it's warm), moisture-wicking, and odor-resistant, making it ideal for sensitive baby skin.
How do I care for the merino wool fleece suit?
Machine wash on a gentle wool cycle at 30°C with a wool-specific detergent. Lay flat to dry and avoid tumble drying. Natural fraying is expected and normal for pure wool.
Can the fold-over feet and mittens be fully removed?
No, they are integrated into the suit and are designed to be folded over or folded back. They cannot be detached.
Is this suit waterproof?
No, this suit is made from merino wool fleece, which is primarily designed for warmth and comfort. It offers some resistance to light moisture but is not waterproof.
What does 'unblended, natural material' mean for the suit?
It means the suit is made entirely from wool without synthetic fibers mixed in. This preserves wool's natural properties but can also lead to characteristics like natural fraying over time.
What is the best way to layer this suit?
This suit can be worn as a warm base layer directly against the skin in cooler weather, or as an outer layer over other clothing for added warmth during outdoor excursions.
How durable is the merino wool fleece?
Merino wool is a durable natural fiber, but like all natural materials, it can show signs of wear such as pilling or fraying with regular use and washing. This is considered normal for pure wool products and does not compromise their function.
Troubleshooting
Suit feels too warm indoors.
Merino wool is breathable, but for very warm indoor environments, consider it as an outer layer that can be removed. Ensure the fold-over feet and mittens are tucked back for better ventilation if needed.
Appearance of pilling or slight fraying.
This is a normal characteristic of natural, unblended wool. It does not affect the warmth or functionality of the suit. You can gently brush the surface to manage the appearance if desired.
Suit is difficult to zip.
Ensure the fabric around the zipper is clear and not bunched. If the zipper feels stiff, check for any lint or fibers caught in the track.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This is a one-piece suit designed for immediate use. Simply zip it up on your baby.

Care Instructions:
- Washing: Machine wash on a wool cycle (usually 30°C or 40°C) with a wool-specific detergent. Avoid detergents containing enzymes or bleach.
- Drying: Lay flat to dry. Do not tumble dry, as high heat can damage the wool fibers and cause shrinkage.
- Pilling/Fraying: Some pilling or fraying is natural with pure wool fleece due to friction from wear and washing. This does not impact the wool's insulating properties. Gentle brushing can help manage the appearance.
