FAQs
What makes merino wool good for children's clothing?
Merino wool is excellent for children because it's naturally temperature-regulating, breathable, soft, and moisture-wicking. It helps keep kids comfortable by adjusting to their body temperature and preventing overheating or getting chilled.
How do I wash these merino wool leggings?
Machine wash on a wool program at a maximum of 30°C using a wool-specific detergent. Do not use bleach or fabric softener, and do not tumble dry. Lay flat to air dry.
Can my child wear these leggings year-round?
Yes, merino wool's temperature-regulating properties make it suitable for year-round wear. They provide warmth in cooler weather and breathability in warmer conditions, though they are particularly ideal for transitional seasons and winter layering.
Are these leggings suitable for sensitive skin?
Organic merino wool is generally very soft and non-itchy, making it suitable for sensitive skin. However, individual sensitivities can vary.
What does 'organic' mean in this context?
Organic refers to the wool being sourced from sheep raised under organic farming standards, meaning no harmful pesticides or chemicals are used in the farming process, and the wool processing adheres to strict environmental and social standards.
How do the frilled edges affect wearability?
The frilled edges are a decorative detail around the ankles. They are made from the same merino wool and are designed to be comfortable and not interfere with movement or cause irritation.
What is the expected lifespan of these leggings?
With proper care following the washing instructions, DILLING merino wool leggings are durable and can last for a significant time, maintaining their shape and thermal properties. However, like all children's clothing, wear and tear will occur with regular use.
Troubleshooting
Leggings feel itchy
Ensure you are using a wool-specific detergent and washing on a gentle cycle. Organic merino wool is known for its softness, so itchiness is uncommon. If irritation persists, discontinue use.
Leggings shrunk after washing
Check if the washing machine temperature was set too high or if the garment was tumble dried. Use only cold water and air dry for future washes.
Pilling observed on the fabric
Pilling is a natural occurrence with wool fibers, especially with friction. This does not affect the thermal properties. You can gently remove pills with a wool comb or by hand.
Elastic around waist feels loose
Ensure the correct size is being worn. If the size is correct and the elastic has significantly lost its tension over time, it may indicate wear and tear that cannot be easily repaired.
