FAQs
Is merino wool itchy for babies?
No, DILLING uses fine merino wool which is known for its softness and non-itchy properties, making it ideal for sensitive baby skin. The fleece construction further enhances its comfort.
How do I wash my merino wool suit?
It is recommended to machine wash on a wool program at a maximum of 30°C (86°F) using a wool-specific detergent, or hand wash. Avoid tumble drying; lay flat or hang to dry.
Will the suit shrink if washed?
Merino wool can shrink if exposed to high heat or aggressive washing/drying. Always follow the care instructions: use a wool cycle, low temperature, and avoid the tumble dryer.
What does it mean if the wool 'frays'?
Fraying or pilling is a natural process for 100% natural wool fibers when they rub against each other or other surfaces. It's a sign of a natural, unblended material and doesn't diminish the wool's warmth or functionality.
Can this suit be used in very cold winter weather?
Yes, the merino wool fleece provides excellent warmth. For extremely cold conditions, it can be layered with other appropriate winter clothing. Ensure proper fit for effective insulation.
What sizes are available?
This specific product listing is for size 0-3 months. The DILLING Merino Wool Fleece Suit is available in various infant and toddler sizes, including 6-9 months, 18-24 months, and children's UK size 3.
Is this suit waterproof?
No, this suit is made from merino wool fleece and is not waterproof. It is designed for warmth and breathability, not for protection against rain or heavy moisture.
Troubleshooting
Suit appears to be fraying or pilling excessively.
This is a normal characteristic of 100% natural merino wool as it is worn and washed. It does not affect the wool's warmth or insulating properties. Gentle washing and avoiding harsh agitation can help minimize this.
Baby feels too warm or too cold.
Merino wool is naturally temperature-regulating. Ensure the baby is not overdressed underneath the suit. Consider the ambient temperature; the suit is best for cool to cold weather. Check for proper fit, as too tight or too loose can affect thermal regulation.
Buttons are difficult to fasten.
Ensure the buttonholes are aligned correctly with the buttons. If the material feels stiff, a gentle stretch around the buttonhole might help. The buttons are designed to be large for ease of use.
