FAQs

Are these leggings suitable for newborns?

Yes, the soft blend of organic merino wool and silk is gentle and suitable for newborns and infants, provided the size is appropriate. The 6-9 month size would be suitable for many newborns.

Can these leggings be worn year-round?

Yes, the temperature-regulating properties of merino wool make them suitable for year-round wear. They provide warmth in cooler months and breathability in warmer weather.

How do I wash merino wool and silk blends?

Wash on a wool or delicate cycle at a maximum of 30°C using a specialized wool detergent. Avoid fabric softener and tumble drying. Lay flat to dry.

Will the leggings shrink if I wash them?

Merino wool can shrink if exposed to high heat or aggressive washing/drying. Following the recommended low-temperature wash and flat-drying methods will prevent shrinkage.

What is the benefit of the silk blend?

The silk blend enhances the softness and smooth feel of the leggings against the skin, complementing the natural benefits of merino wool. It adds a luxurious touch and can improve moisture management.

Are these leggings machine washable?

Yes, they are machine washable on a wool or delicate cycle, provided you use a wool-specific detergent and avoid high temperatures and tumble drying.

Can I use regular detergent on these leggings?

It is highly recommended to use a detergent specifically designed for wool and delicates. Regular detergents can be too harsh and may damage the natural fibers over time.

Troubleshooting

Leggings feel itchy

Although made from fine merino wool and silk, very sensitive skin might react. Ensure the garment is properly rinsed after washing to remove any detergent residue. Consider a silk-only base layer if issues persist.

Leggings losing shape

This can occur from improper washing or drying. Always wash on a delicate cycle with wool detergent and lay flat to dry. Avoid wringing or stretching the garment.

Pilling on fabric

Natural fibers like merino wool can experience slight pilling, especially with initial wears. This is normal and can be managed with a fabric shaver. Proper washing also minimizes this.

Elastic waistband feels too tight or loose

The elastic is designed for a snug but comfortable fit. If it feels too tight, ensure you have the correct size; the fabric has stretch. If it feels too loose after washing, it may indicate improper drying. Reshape and lay flat to dry.
