FAQs
Can these leggings be worn year-round?
Yes, merino wool's natural temperature-regulating properties make it suitable for year-round wear. It keeps babies warm in winter and cool in summer by adapting to their body temperature and environment.
How do I know if I'm using the right detergent?
Look for detergents labeled 'for wool,' 'wool wash,' or 'delicates.' These are formulated to be pH-neutral and gentle on natural fibers like merino wool.
Are these leggings suitable for sensitive or eczema-prone skin?
Absolutely. 100% organic merino wool is naturally hypoallergenic and very soft, making it an excellent choice for babies with sensitive skin or conditions like eczema.
What does 'GOTS-certified' mean for the organic merino wool?
GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard) certification ensures that the wool is sourced from organic farms and processed with strict environmental and social criteria, guaranteeing the highest standards of organic and ethical production.
How do I best store these leggings when not in use?
Store them folded in a breathable garment bag or drawer. Avoid plastic bags, which can trap moisture. For long-term storage, consider adding cedar balls to deter moths.
What is the benefit of the rib-knit construction?
The rib-knit provides a flexible, stretchy texture that allows the garment to adapt to your baby's movements and body shape comfortably, while also adding a subtle visual texture.
Troubleshooting
Leggings feel itchy after washing.
Ensure you are using a wool-specific detergent and the correct gentle wash cycle. Sometimes, a light rinse can help remove residual detergent. Avoid fabric softeners.
Leggings have lost their shape.
Merino wool can stretch if not handled correctly. Always lay flat to dry and avoid wringing or stretching while wet. Reshape them gently while damp if needed.
Small holes appear after some wear.
Check for snagging hazards in the environment or during play. For very small holes, careful darning might be possible, but it's crucial to ensure no rough surfaces are causing damage.
