FAQs
Are these leggings suitable for sensitive skin?
Yes, 100% organic merino wool is known for its softness and hypoallergenic properties, making it excellent for children with sensitive skin.
How do I know if I ordered the correct size?
The size is indicated as '7-8' for UK children. Please refer to the brand's sizing chart for precise measurements related to waist and inseam to ensure the best fit for your child.
Can these leggings be worn in summer?
Merino wool is breathable and temperature-regulating, so it can be comfortable in milder summer conditions. However, they are primarily designed for warmth in colder weather.
What does '8x1 quality' mean?
'8x1 quality' refers to the specific knitting technique used, characterized by wide and even ribbing, which contributes to the fabric's flexibility and durability.
Why is there extra room at the front?
The design includes extra room at the front, intended to provide a more comfortable fit for boys.
How often should I wash these leggings?
Merino wool is naturally odor-resistant. You can wear them multiple times between washes. Wash only when necessary, following the specific care instructions, to preserve the fiber's quality.
Troubleshooting
Leggings feel too tight or restrictive
Ensure the size is correct. While form-fitting, merino wool is flexible. Check if the garment has been washed incorrectly (e.g., with high heat) which could cause shrinkage.
Leggings lose their shape after washing
Always follow the specific care instructions, particularly using a wool program and avoiding high heat or tumble drying. Lay flat to dry to help maintain shape.
Skin irritation despite merino wool properties
While rare, some individuals may have sensitivities. Ensure the garment is properly rinsed after washing and consider trying a different wool-specific detergent. Check for any internal seams or tags that might be causing discomfort.
Odors persist after washing
Ensure you are using a wool-specific detergent and that the garment is thoroughly rinsed. Over-washing with harsh detergents can sometimes affect natural fibers. Airing out the leggings can also help refresh them between washes.
