FAQs
Are these leggings suitable for sensitive skin?
Yes, merino wool is naturally hypoallergenic and known for being gentle on sensitive skin. The plasma treatment further enhances its softness.
How do I know if I have the correct size?
Refer to the size guide provided by DILLING. The size is indicated as '5-6' for this specific product, corresponding to a UK children's size.
Can these leggings be worn in warm weather?
Merino wool is breathable and regulates temperature, making it suitable for various conditions. While ideal for cooler weather, its moisture-wicking properties can also help in milder temperatures by preventing overheating.
What is the Pointelle pattern?
Pointelle is a knitting technique that creates decorative, openwork patterns. In these leggings, it's combined with a ribbed pattern for both style and added flexibility.
How often should I wash merino wool leggings?
Merino wool is naturally odor-resistant. Washing only when necessary (e.g., after significant soiling or sweat) can extend the garment's life. Airing them out between wears can often suffice.
What does 'plasma treatment' mean for the wool?
Plasma treatment is an environmentally friendly process that makes the merino wool fibers feel exceptionally soft against the skin, reducing any potential scratchiness without the use of harsh chemicals.
Troubleshooting
Leggings feel itchy.
Ensure you are using a wool-specific detergent and washing in cool water. The plasma treatment is designed to prevent itchiness, but individual sensitivities can vary. If itchiness persists, try wearing them with another thin layer underneath.
Leggings appear to have shrunk after washing.
Merino wool can shrink if exposed to high heat or agitated aggressively during washing. Always wash in cool water on a delicate cycle and lay flat to dry. Avoid tumble drying completely.
Leggings have lost some of their elasticity.
This can happen with excessive heat or improper washing. Ensure you are following the care instructions meticulously. Gentle handling will preserve the fabric's natural stretch.

Care:
Proper care ensures the longevity and softness of your merino wool leggings:

- Drying: Lay flat to dry on a clean towel. Avoid direct sunlight or heat sources. Do not tumble dry, as high heat can shrink and damage the wool fibers.
