FAQs
What makes the merino wool 'soft'?
The leggings are made from 100% organic merino wool and feature a 'Plasma treatment.' This is an environmentally friendly process that smooths the wool fibers, making them exceptionally soft against the skin and reducing any potential itchiness.
Can these leggings be worn year-round?
Merino wool is excellent for temperature regulation, making it suitable for both warm and cold conditions. They provide warmth in winter and can help wick moisture in milder weather. However, they are primarily designed as a warming layer for cooler temperatures.
How do I know if I've chosen the right size?
Consult the DILLING size chart, which provides specific measurements for children's sizes. Measure your child's waist, hip, and inseam to ensure the best fit. The size UK 9-10 generally corresponds to EU sizes 140-146.
Are these leggings suitable for sensitive skin?
Yes, the 100% organic merino wool combined with the Plasma treatment makes these leggings extremely soft and non-irritating, ideal for children with sensitive skin.
What is the pattern on these leggings?
This specific variant features a 'Plaid' pattern. Other sibling products may feature 'Geometric' or 'Pointelle' patterns.
Can these be worn as outerwear?
While the leggings are durable, they are designed as a base or mid-layer for warmth and comfort. For outerwear, you would typically wear trousers or snow pants over them.
How often should I wash these leggings?
Merino wool is naturally odor-resistant and self-cleaning to an extent. Wash only when necessary, typically after a few wears or if visibly soiled. Over-washing can reduce the lifespan of the fibers.
Troubleshooting
Leggings feel tight or uncomfortable.
Ensure you have selected the correct size using the DILLING size guide. Merino wool has a slight stretch, but improper sizing is the most common cause of discomfort. Consider trying a size up if measurements are borderline.
Wool appears to have lost its softness after washing.
This can sometimes happen if a non-wool detergent or fabric softener was used. Always use a specialized wool detergent and avoid fabric softeners. Re-washing with a wool-specific detergent might help restore softness.
Leggings are not providing enough warmth.
Ensure the leggings are used as a base layer and that outer garments provide sufficient insulation. For extreme cold, consider adding another layer over the leggings or ensuring the outer clothing is windproof.
Pilling is occurring on the fabric.
Some minor pilling is natural with wool, especially in areas of friction. Gentle washing and avoiding excessive rubbing can minimize this. Pilling can often be carefully removed with a wool comb or fabric shaver.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
These leggings require no setup; they are ready to wear straight out of the package.
Compatibility:
- Layering: Designed to be worn as a base layer under other garments like trousers, skirts, dresses, or snowsuits.
- Sizing: Please refer to the DILLING size chart for accurate measurements, as children's sizing can vary. The listed size is UK 9-10 (EU 140-146).
Care Instructions:
- Washing: Machine wash on a wool program at 30°C (86°F). Use a detergent specifically designed for wool or delicates. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can damage the merino fibers.
- Drying: Do not tumble dry. Lay flat to dry away from direct heat or sunlight. Merino wool can take longer to dry than synthetic materials.
- Ironing: If necessary, iron on a low, wool-specific setting. It is rarely needed due to the natural resilience of the fibers.
- Storage: Store in a clean, dry place. Fold rather than hang to maintain the shape.
