FAQs
Are these leggings suitable for everyday wear or just for sports?
These leggings are highly versatile and suitable for both everyday wear and as a base layer for sports or outdoor activities due to their comfort, breathability, and flexibility.
How do merino wool and silk combine to benefit my child?
The merino wool provides warmth, breathability, and natural odor resistance, while the silk adds an extra layer of softness and a smooth feel against the skin, enhancing overall comfort and reducing irritation.
Can I wash these leggings in a regular washing machine?
Yes, but only on a gentle or wool cycle at a maximum of 30°C, using a wool-specific detergent. Avoid high temperatures and harsh cycles.
How often should I wash these leggings?
Merino wool is naturally odor-resistant. You can often air them out between wears. Wash only when necessary, following the care instructions, to prolong their lifespan.
What makes the seams 'comfortable'?
The seams are designed to lie flat and be as smooth as possible, minimizing any potential for rubbing or irritation against the skin, which is especially important for children.
How do I know if I've chosen the correct size?
The leggings are a fitted style. Refer to the size chart provided by DILLING and consider your child's measurements. The internal elastic waistband helps ensure a secure fit within the correct size.
Are these leggings warm enough for very cold winter days?
Yes, as a base layer, they provide excellent thermal insulation. For extreme cold, layering additional garments over them is recommended.
Troubleshooting
Leggings feel itchy
Ensure you are using a wool-specific detergent and have rinsed thoroughly. Some initial slight prickle can occur with new wool but should dissipate with wear and proper washing.
Garment lost shape after washing
Avoid machine drying and excessive heat. Always lay flat to dry and reshape while damp. Ensure you are following the 30°C wash temperature limit.
Elastic waistband feels too tight
While the internal elastic is designed to be comfortable, slight variations can occur. Try gently stretching the waistband by hand or ensure the child is within the recommended size range. If excessively tight, consider exchanging for a larger size.
Color faded
Washing with a detergent suitable for dark colors and on a lower temperature can help preserve color. Avoid direct sunlight when drying.
