FAQs

Are these leggings suitable for newborns?

Yes, the soft merino wool and silk blend is gentle enough for newborns. Ensure you select the appropriate size (e.g., 0-3 months or similar) for a comfortable fit.

Can these leggings be worn in all seasons?

Yes, the temperature-regulating properties of merino wool make them suitable for both warm and cool weather. They provide warmth in winter and are breathable enough for milder conditions.

How often should I wash these leggings?

Merino wool is naturally odor-resistant and requires less frequent washing than synthetic materials. Wash when visibly soiled or after several wears. Airing them out between wears can help refresh the fabric.

What is the difference between merino wool and regular wool?

Merino wool fibers are much finer and softer than those of traditional wool, making them less itchy and more comfortable against the skin. It also offers superior temperature regulation and moisture-wicking properties.

Can I use a regular washing machine?

Yes, but only on a very gentle wool or delicates cycle, with cold water and a wool-specific detergent. Avoid high spin speeds and prolonged agitation. Hand washing is the safest option.

Will the silk content make the leggings too warm for summer?

The combination of merino wool and silk is designed for breathability. The silk adds to the softness and sheen, while the merino wool regulates temperature. They are generally comfortable for year-round wear, including warmer months, as an inner layer.

What does 'MPN' stand for and what is it?

MPN stands for Manufacturer Part Number. It is a unique code used by the manufacturer (DILLING in this case) to identify a specific product, like this particular size and color of leggings.

Troubleshooting

Leggings seem too tight or restrictive

Ensure the correct size has been selected. Merino wool and silk are stretchy, so the fit should be snug but comfortable. Check if the waistband is digging in; if so, gently stretch it out or consider a size up if the baby is between sizes.

Leggings lost their shape after washing

This can happen if the garment was over-agitated in the washing machine or not reshaped before drying. Always wash on a gentle cycle, do not wring, and lay flat to dry, carefully reshaping the garment while damp.

Baby's skin is irritated

While the blend is designed for sensitive skin, ensure no harsh detergents or fabric softeners were used. Re-wash with a mild wool detergent. If irritation persists, discontinue use and consult a pediatrician.

Fabric feels rough after washing

This might indicate the use of a harsh detergent or excessive washing. Switch to a dedicated wool wash and follow the care instructions precisely. Air drying and gentle handling will help maintain softness.

Care Instructions:

To maintain the quality and longevity of your merino wool and silk leggings, follow these care guidelines:

  1. Washing: Hand wash or machine wash on a gentle wool cycle at a maximum of 30°C (86°F).
  2. Detergent: Use a detergent specifically designed for wool or delicates. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners.
  3. Rinsing: Rinse thoroughly with cold water.
  4. Drying: Do not tumble dry. Gently squeeze out excess water (do not wring) and lay flat on a clean towel to air dry. Reshape while damp. Avoid direct sunlight.
  5. Ironing: If necessary, iron on a low heat setting (wool setting) while the garment is still slightly damp, preferably inside out.
