FAQs
Are these shorts suitable for sensitive skin?
Yes, the blend of organic merino wool and silk is naturally hypoallergenic and very gentle, making it ideal for children with sensitive skin.
How do I wash these shorts?

Can these shorts be worn all year round?

What is the main benefit of the wool/silk blend?
The blend offers superior comfort through softness, breathability, and natural temperature regulation, adapting to the child's body temperature.
How do I know if I have the correct size?
Refer to the size guide provided by DILLING. These shorts are designed to fit snugly against the body, so a correct fit is important for comfort and performance.
Can these be worn as outerwear?
While they can be worn on their own on warm days, they are primarily designed as a base layer or for sleepwear. They are best paired with other clothing for outdoor activities.
What does 'pointelle pattern' mean?
Pointelle is a knitting technique that creates delicate, openwork patterns, adding a decorative and airy quality to the fabric.
Troubleshooting
Pilling or matting of the fabric
This can occur with excessive friction or improper washing. Ensure you are using a wool-specific detergent and a gentle wash cycle. Avoid rubbing the fabric vigorously. If pilling occurs, gently remove loose fibers with a wool comb.
Garment has lost its shape
Avoid tumble drying, as heat can shrink wool. Reshape the garment while damp and lay it flat to dry. Store by folding rather than hanging to prevent stretching.
Skin irritation
While merino wool and silk are hypoallergenic, ensure the garment is properly rinsed after washing to remove all detergent residue. If irritation persists, consult a physician.
Color fading
Wash the garment inside out in cold water with a mild detergent. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight during drying.
