FAQs

What makes merino wool and silk a good combination for baby leggings?

The combination offers the best of both worlds: merino wool provides excellent temperature regulation, breathability, and moisture-wicking, while silk adds an extra layer of softness and a smooth feel against delicate skin, reducing friction.

Can these leggings be worn year-round?

Yes, the natural properties of merino wool allow it to adapt to the body's temperature. They help keep babies warm in cold weather and cool in warm weather, making them suitable for all seasons.

How do I know if I've chosen the correct size?

Refer to the size guide provided by DILLING. The leggings are designed for a close but comfortable fit. Ensure the elastic waistband sits comfortably without digging in, and the length covers the ankles without excessive pooling.

Are these leggings suitable for sensitive or eczema-prone skin?

Yes, the fine merino wool and silk fibers are naturally hypoallergenic and exceptionally soft, making them very gentle on sensitive or eczema-prone skin. They help regulate temperature and wick away moisture, which can also benefit skin conditions.

How often should I wash these leggings?

Merino wool is naturally odor-resistant and requires less frequent washing than synthetic materials. Airing out the leggings between wears can help keep them fresh. Wash only when visibly soiled or necessary, following the care instructions carefully.

What is the main benefit of the close fit?

The close, but comfortable fit ensures that the leggings function effectively as a base layer. It allows the natural fibers to stay close to the skin, maximizing their temperature-regulating and moisture-wicking capabilities, while also allowing for easy movement.

Troubleshooting

Leggings feel itchy or rough after washing.

Ensure you are using a wool-specific or mild detergent and avoiding fabric softeners. Excessive heat during washing or drying can also damage the fibers. Consider air drying flat and gently reshaping.

Leggings have lost their shape.

Reshape the garment while damp after washing and lay it flat to dry. Avoid wringing or stretching excessively. Ensure you are following the recommended washing temperature.

Fabric appears to be pilling.

Pilling is a natural occurrence with fine wool fibers and does not indicate a defect. Gentle washing and avoiding excessive friction can minimize it. Use a fabric shaver carefully if needed.

Care Instructions:

  • Washing: Hand wash or machine wash on a delicate/wool cycle at a maximum of 30°C (86°F).

  • Ironing: Iron on a low setting if necessary, preferably while the garment is still slightly damp.
