FAQs
Are these hipsters suitable for sensitive skin?
Yes, the 100% merino wool is naturally soft and breathable, making it an excellent choice for children with sensitive skin. The minimal side seam construction also reduces the risk of irritation.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Refer to the size chart provided by DILLING, correlating your child's measurements (like waist and hip circumference) with the specified UK size (e.g., 3-4 years).
Can these be worn year-round?
Yes, merino wool's natural temperature-regulating properties make these hipsters suitable for all seasons. They provide warmth in cooler weather and breathability in warmer conditions.
How often should I wash these hipsters?
Merino wool is naturally odor-resistant. Depending on usage, they can often be worn multiple times between washes. However, for hygiene, wash after significant sweating or daily wear.
What is the main advantage of merino wool over cotton?
Merino wool is superior in breathability, moisture-wicking, and temperature regulation. Unlike cotton, it can wick moisture away from the skin even when saturated and helps keep you warm even when damp.
Can I use regular detergent?
It is highly recommended to use a detergent specifically formulated for wool. Regular detergents can be too harsh and may damage the delicate wool fibers and elastic.
What does 'Unisex' mean for this product?
Unisex means the design is intended to be suitable and comfortable for children of any gender.
Troubleshooting
Garment feels itchy or scratchy
Ensure the garment is washed according to care instructions with a wool-specific detergent. Merino wool is naturally soft, but improper washing can affect its feel.
Elastic seam losing elasticity
Avoid high heat washing and tumble drying, as these can damage the elastic. Always follow the low-temperature wash and air-dry instructions.
Shrinking after washing
Confirm that the wash cycle temperature is not exceeding 30-40°C and that the garment is not being machine dried. Air drying is crucial for maintaining size.
Pilling on the fabric surface
Some pilling is normal with natural wool fibers over time. To minimize, wash inside out and avoid rough abrasion. Specialized wool combs can gently remove pills.
