FAQs

Are these leggings suitable for sensitive skin?

Yes, Merino wool is known for its softness and fineness, making it less likely to cause irritation compared to coarser wools. However, individual sensitivities can vary.

Can I wear these leggings all year round?

Absolutely. The natural temperature-regulating properties of Merino wool make them effective for staying warm in cooler weather and cool in warmer conditions, making them suitable for year-round use.

How do I wash my Merino wool leggings?

Machine wash on a gentle or wool cycle at a maximum of 30°C using a wool-specific detergent. Avoid bleach and tumble drying. Dry flat and reshape while damp.

Are these leggings a tight fit or relaxed fit?

The leggings are designed for a close fit that follows your body's natural movements, thanks to the flexible knitting technique and slim rib structure. The elasticated waistband ensures comfort without being overly tight.

What does 'temperature-regulating' mean for Merino wool?

Merino wool fibers have a natural structure that traps air, providing insulation against cold. They can also release excess heat and moisture when you get warmer, helping to maintain a comfortable body temperature.

Can I wear these as outdoor activewear?

Yes, they are excellent as a base layer for many outdoor activities like hiking, skiing, or simply for warmth during colder days. Their breathability and flexibility support movement and comfort.

What makes Merino wool different from regular wool?

Merino wool fibers are much finer and thinner than those of regular wool, resulting in a significantly softer, lighter, and less itchy fabric.

Troubleshooting

Leggings feel itchy

Ensure you are washing them according to care instructions with a wool-specific detergent. Fine Merino wool is generally very soft, so itchiness may indicate improper care or a rare sensitivity.

Leggings lose shape after washing

Always dry the leggings flat and gently reshape them while damp. Avoid machine drying, as the heat can cause shrinkage and loss of form.

Pilling occurs on the fabric

Some pilling is natural with wool garments, especially with friction. Gentle washing and avoiding excessive rubbing can minimize this. You can use a fabric comb or shaver designed for wool to gently remove pills.
