FAQs
What makes merino wool terry different from regular merino wool?
Merino wool terry is a slightly thicker knit, featuring loops on one side (like a towel), which makes it feel extra soft and comfortable, especially against sensitive skin. It offers more warmth and cushioning than a standard merino wool knit.
Is this one-piece suitable for everyday wear or just for sleeping?
This one-piece is versatile. Its temperature-regulating and breathable properties make it excellent for everyday wear as a comfortable base or mid-layer, as well as a cozy sleepsuit.
How often should I wash the merino wool one-piece?
Merino wool is naturally odor-resistant and requires less frequent washing than synthetic fabrics. Washing after each use is typical, but you can air it out between wears if it's not visibly soiled. Follow the care instructions for best results.
Can I use regular detergent to wash this item?
No, it is crucial to use a detergent specifically designed for wool. Regular detergents can contain enzymes that damage wool fibers and strip them of their natural properties, leading to shrinkage and loss of softness.
What is the benefit of the zip down the leg?
The zip down one leg significantly simplifies the process of dressing and undressing your baby, especially during diaper changes, making it more convenient for parents.
What is the recommended age group for this size?
This specific item is listed as size 9-12 months (UK sizing for babies). Always refer to the size chart provided by DILLING for precise measurements.
Are there other color options available?
Yes, this model is available in other colors. You can find variations such as Blue and Grey, among others, depending on current stock and availability.
Troubleshooting
Garment appears to have lost its shape after washing.
Gently reshape the garment while it is still damp and lay it flat to dry. Merino wool can often regain its shape.
Baby seems too warm or too cold.
Adjust other layers accordingly. This one-piece is a mid-layer; ensure it's paired appropriately with lighter or heavier outer layers based on the ambient temperature.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.
Check for any fabric caught in the zipper. Gently work the zipper back and forth. If needed, a tiny amount of graphite from a pencil tip can help lubricate the teeth.
Wool feels itchy or uncomfortable.
Ensure you are using a wool-specific detergent and that the garment has been rinsed thoroughly. Organic merino wool is generally very soft; an itchy feel might indicate residue or a sensitive reaction. Try a different wool detergent.

Care Instructions:
To maintain the quality and longevity of your merino wool one-piece:
- Washing: Machine wash on a wool program (30°C or 40°C) using a wool-specific detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can coat the wool fibers and reduce their natural properties.
- Drying: Do not tumble dry. Lay the garment flat to dry away from direct heat or sunlight. Wool can be reshaped while damp.
- Ironing: If necessary, iron on a low heat setting.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Ensure the garment is clean before storing for extended periods.
*Avoid bleaching or dry cleaning.*
