FAQs
Are these leggings suitable for very cold weather?
Yes, the merino wool blend provides excellent insulation and warmth, making them ideal for cold weather as a base layer.
Can these leggings be worn directly against the skin?
Absolutely. The blend of organic merino wool and silk is exceptionally soft and designed to be comfortable against delicate skin.
How often should I wash these leggings?
Merino wool is naturally odor-resistant. You can often air them out between wears. Wash when visibly soiled or after a few wears, following the gentle wool care instructions.
Will the material shrink significantly?
When washed and dried according to the instructions (gentle cycle, low temperature, air dry), the wool fibers will contract slightly to regain shape but should not shrink excessively.
Are these leggings suitable for children with eczema?
Merino wool is often recommended for sensitive skin due to its softness and breathability. However, individual reactions can vary. It's always best to check with a healthcare professional if your child has severe skin conditions.
What is the difference between these and regular leggings?
These are made from natural merino wool and silk, offering superior temperature regulation, moisture-wicking, and breathability compared to standard synthetic or cotton leggings.
Can these be used as outerwear?
While they are durable, they are primarily designed as a base layer. For active outdoor play, they are best worn under more protective outerwear like snow pants or sturdy trousers.
Troubleshooting
Leggings feel stretched out after wearing.
This is normal for wool fibers. Lay the leggings flat to dry after washing, and they should regain their original shape.
Skin irritation.
Although made from fine natural fibers, very sensitive individuals might experience irritation. Ensure you are using a wool-specific detergent and that the garment is properly rinsed. Consider a patch test if irritation persists.
Loss of softness after washing.
Ensure you are using a wool-specific detergent and avoiding fabric softeners. Do not wash at temperatures higher than recommended.
Color fading.
Wash inside out and use a detergent that is color-safe for wool. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight when drying.

Care Instructions:
To maintain the quality and longevity of the merino wool and silk blend, follow these care guidelines:
- Washing: Machine wash on a gentle wool program (max 30°C or 86°F) using a wool-specific detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can damage the wool fibers.
- Drying: Do not tumble dry. Lay the leggings flat to air dry away from direct heat or sunlight. The material may stretch slightly when wet but will contract back to its original shape as it dries.
- Ironing: If necessary, iron on a low setting.
- Pilling: Occasional pilling is normal for natural wool fibers and can be gently removed with a fabric comb or depiller.
