FAQs
Are these tights suitable for all seasons?
These tights are ideal for cooler weather due to the insulating properties of merino wool. They can also be used in milder temperatures as a breathable layer, but may be too warm for hot summer days.
How do I know if the size is correct?
Refer to the size chart provided by DILLING or the size indicated (18-24 months in this case). The design is flexible and accommodates a range of sizes within its category.
Can these tights be worn directly against the skin?
Yes, the organic merino wool is very soft and specifically designed to be comfortable against sensitive baby skin.
How often should I wash these tights?
Merino wool has natural odor-resistant properties. Washing after every wear is not always necessary. Airing them out between wears can help extend the time between washes, reducing wear and tear.
What makes merino wool good for babies?
Merino wool is naturally temperature-regulating, breathable, moisture-wicking, soft, and hypoallergenic, making it an excellent choice for baby clothing.
Will these tights fit over cloth diapers?
Yes, the design is intentionally made with a comfortable and flexible fit that accommodates diapers, including cloth diapers.
Troubleshooting
Tights feel scratchy after washing
Ensure you used a wool-specific detergent and a low-temperature wash cycle. Reshape while damp and air dry flat. Avoid fabric softeners.
Tights lost elasticity
Avoid high-temperature washing and tumble drying, as heat can degrade elastic fibres. Ensure they were not overstretched during drying.
Pilling on the fabric
Pilling is a natural characteristic of wool fibres. You can gently remove pills with a fabric shaver or by hand. Proper washing and reduced friction can minimize pilling.
Tights seem too tight after washing
Merino wool can sometimes shrink slightly if washed or dried improperly. Gently stretch the fabric back to its original shape while damp and lay flat to dry.
